Miserere Luminis and Délétère will play Piranha Bar on May 22, pairing the Montreal band’s Sidera album launch with a 10th anniversary performance of Délétère’s Les Heures de la Peste. The show brings together two key acts from Quebec’s black metal scene at the Sainte-Catherine Ouest venue, with Miserere Luminis’ new album arriving March 6 via Debemur Morti Productions.
Miserere Luminis formed in 2008 as a collaboration between members of GRIS and Sombres Forêts, two pillars of Quebec’s atmospheric black metal scene. The trio, Annatar on guitar and vocals, Neptune on guitar, bass, piano and lyrics, and Icare on drums, vocals and strings, have built their sound around emotionally charged black metal that blends cinematic soundscapes with raw intensity. Sidera is their third full-length, following their self-titled 2009 debut and 2023’s Ordalie.
Délétère emerged from Quebec City in 2009 and released Les Heures de la Peste in 2015 via Sepulchral Productions. The album, structured around perverted daily prayers celebrating disease and plague, established the band as a force in Quebec’s metal noir scene. Formed by Atheos and Thorleïf, who have remained the project’s core members, Délétère combine melodic black metal with raw, furious energy. They’ve since released De Horae Leprae in 2018 and Songe d’une Nuit Souillée in 2023.
The May 22 show pairs two bands deeply connected to Quebec’s extreme metal community and Sepulchral Productions, the Montreal label that has shaped the province’s black metal scene for two decades. Both acts write and perform in French, drawing on Quebec’s distinct cultural and geographical landscape.
Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door, available through Sepulchral Productions’ website. The show is 18+.
