The band's genre is difficult to define, but could probably be best described as progressive/technical death metal, somewhere along the lines of Opeth or In Flames, with a wide array of tempo and style changes. The band also makes extensive use of keyboards, and features clean, though tormented, vocals alongside the traditional death grunt.
Misanthrope was voted best French metal band by the readers of magazines Hard'N'Heavy in 1999, and by the readers of Hard Rock Mag and Hard'N'Heavy in 2000.

gollark: You don't need *that*, just some method of projecting onto glasses in decent resolution without horrible focus problems, probably some way to blot out background too, and some kind of gesture control system (specialized gloves or radar maybe).
gollark: I imagine that phones will be replaced by AR glasses or something before an iPhone 47 ever happens, but who knows. Consumer AR stuff never seems to go anywhere.
gollark: It's entirely wireless.
gollark: The iPhone 47 is actually just a solid cuboid of aluminium with 26 cameras on it.
gollark: Why would you want a dystopian future? They're pretty much bad by definition.
