Regard Extr�me is a name that should be familiar to anyone into neofolk, neoclassical and martial industrial. Since its inception in 1990, Regard Extr�me has collaborated with luminaries Les Joyaux De La Princesse and was featured in both the book and on the compilation album 'Looking For Europe.' One can safely say Regard Extr�me and its sole member Fabien Nicault have left their mark on orchestral post-industrial music. If for some reason you aren't familiar with Regard Extr�me, then 'Legacy' is just the album for you: consisting of tracks originally featured on various releases from 1995 to 2022, this is a perfect single-disc introduction to the French project. And if you're an old fan, then 'Legacy' is also for you: the tracks have been re-composed and re-orchestrated with great attention to quality and loyalty to the original spirit. The end result: classic Regard Extr�me tracks reimagined and refurbished for the year 2022. Featuring also two new, previously unreleased tracks, this is both a perfect starting point to explore Regard Extr�me's discography, and a welcome addition to an existing collection. 'Legacy' updates old classics with a powerful, clear but still powerful sound, full of heroic bombast, martial drama and evocative orchestrations. Pigeonholing 'Legacy' is impossible: it is equal amounts neoclassical and martial industrial, epic and brooding, bellicose and dramatic. With its nuanced and detailed compositions drawing equally from classical music and the post-industrial underground, 'Legacy' exemplifies clearly the skill and professionalism through which Regard Extr�me have made themselves into a cult name. Limited to 150 copies.
