This is the central site for a long-term project to research, examine, and respond to the radical collective of writers, theorists, architects, and visual artists who operated in Paris between 1829 and 1835 under the names of the Jeunes France & the Bouzingo, and through them to build a critical understanding of French Romanticist subculture through the historical lens of a continuing politically vigilant Anglophone avant-garde.

Archives of Khazad-Dum: Louis Boulanger - La Ronde du Sabbat

I've often noted the similarities of the Jeunes-France Bouzingo of the 1830s and the sensibilities of contemporary metal. Here's undeniable proof: a blog with FOURTEEN black metal and death metal albums all using the Jeunes-France artist Louis Boulanger's frenetic romanticist masterpiece "Ronde du Sabbat" for the cover art. I have NEVER seen it reproduced in any art book except the single monograph on Boulanger, from 1924. Hmmmm.
