Valfunde
Black metal / post-punk side project of Famine from Peste Noire with a passion for French culture. So far Valfunde only released two songs including an instrumental song (on a split EP with Amesoeurs). Famine used Paul Verlaine's poem "Sérénade". The production is raw and is reminiscent of Peste Noire's demos. An English translation of Verlaine's poem (bearing in mind a poem can never be perfectly translated in another language):
Like the voice of a dead man who would sing
in the depth of his grave,
Mistress mine, hear my strident, false voice
rise up to your retreat.
Open your soul and your ear to the sound
of my mandolin:
for you, for you have I made this song,
so cruel and tender.
I shall sing of your eyes of gold and onyx
free of all shades,
then the Lethe of your breast, then the Styx
of your dark hair.
Like the voice of a dead man who would sing
in the depth of his grave,
Mistress mine, hear my strident, false voice
rise up to your retreat.
Then will I richly praise, as is meet,
this blessed flesh
whose opulent perfume drifts back to me
in sleepless nights.
And to end, I shall speak of the kiss
of your red lip,
of your sweetness that tortures me,
- my Angel! – My Whore!
Open your soul and your ear to the sound
of my mandolin:
for you, for you have I made this song,
so cruel and tender.
