Clair Cassis

Everybody knows Velvet Cacoon. Everybody knows their thievery. Despite their dishonesty, I find myself listening to their music consistently. Josh of Velvet Cacoon exploits many stories and it's questionable to wonder whether they are true or false. There are plenty of false accusations but the sheep still follow it. I personally don't think their situation would have been blown out of proportion if the metal scene wasn't so hungry for band news. Josh states something similar to that in his interview with the Starlight Temple Society. I personally never really cared about their fake releases, the majority of them lack all Black Metal aesthetics or even anything else that I love about Velvet Cacoon.

Despite the many false claims, this seems to be quite true. Josh's new project, Clair Cassis. Clair Cassi remains on the lines of Velvet Cacoon but the thick nautical atmosphere is absent. Riffs and drums are heard under the high pitched whispered vocals of Josh. It's stated that he is working with a number of female musicians, that may be the one portion of the band that I really don't believe.
