Peste Noire is a black metal band from La Chaise-Dieu, France. It was formed by La sale Famine de Valfunde in Avignon in 2000. To date, all songs have been written by La sale Famine (except "La Césarienne" on Folkfuck Folie and various piano/organ interludes on Ballade cuntre lo Anemi francor). The band plays music which utilises standard black metal elements mixed with more traditional gallic instrumentation. The music is often melodic and sorrowful, turning at times towards a more aggressive and chaotic sound within lengthy and elaborate song structures. The band is sometimes referred to as P.N. or K.P.N (Kommando Peste Noire).

Famous quotes containing the word noire:
“By an application of the theory of relativity to the taste of readers, to-day in Germany I am called a German man of science, and in England I am represented as a Swiss Jew. If I come to be regarded as a bête noire the descriptions will be reversed, and I shall become a Swiss Jew for the Germans and a German man of science for the English!”
—Albert Einstein (1879–1955)
