Aorlhac is a black metal band hailing from the heart of France, known for their unique blend of raw energy and melodic intricacies. Rooted in the deep narratives of their Occitan heritage, Aorlhac's music is a journey through the history, myths, and landscapes of their homeland, which is the southern region of France with a distinct cultural identity and language. Their lyrics often delve into themes of war, history and Occitan culture, painting vivid pictures against a backdrop of aggressive yet carefully crafted metal soundscapes.

Since their inception in 2007, Aorlhac has been on a steady trajectory of artistic evolution and recognition. With their latest releases such as "Pierres Brûlées" and "Au travers de nos cris," they continue to explore and refine their signature sound. "L'esprit des vents" is a testament to their mature songwriting and vision, showcasing the band's ability to create a thematic coherence across their works, which is also evident in previous opuses "La Cité Des Vents" and "À la croisée des vents." Each album in their discography is a chapter in a grander narrative that centers on the Aorlhac—that fabled wind whispering through the rugged landscapes of Auvergne—imbuing their music with both ferocity and a haunting sense of place.
