Peste Noire "L'Ordure à l'état Pur"

L'Ordure à l'état Pur (French for The pure essence of Garbage) is the fourth full-length studio album by the French black metal band Peste Noire. It was released in 2013 on the Compact Disc format under bandleader Ludovic "Famine" Faure's own record label: La Mesnie Herlequin, which he established that same year.

Although fundamentally a black metal album at its core, L'Ordure à l'état Pur exhibits prominent French folk music, avant-garde, and industrial elements mixed in with traces of ska punk, post-metal, and electronia.

In addition to the name of the album itself, its song titles and lyrics are entirely written/sung in the French language – maintaining a consistency with the band's other releases.
