Peste Noire

Peste Noire, taking their name from the Black Plague, is a black metal band from La Chaise-Dieu, France. It was formed by La sale Famine de Valfunde in 2000. Their music utilises standard black metal elements mixed with more traditional Gallic instrumentation. The band is sometimes referred to as P.N. or K.P.N (Kommando Peste Noire). According to Famine, they do not play "National Socialist Black Metal." Instead, he characterizes the political alignment of the band as "right-wing anarchism" and describes himself as a "French national-anarchist".
