Les Joyaux De La Princesse is a cult French one-man band operating in the industrial network. Some of his releases are in the heavy industrial-noise vein, while other contains melancholic and sad music for organ and piano mixed with historical French speeches. Each of Les Joyaux De La Princesse's records is a sort of small audio document presenting an historical fact, usually located in the France of 1930s and 1940s. Most of them are sold out and sought-after collector items due to the small number of copies pressed and the extremely luxurious packages.
He has worked with many other well known industrial/dark ambient artists, such as Regard Extrême, Death In June, Muslimgauze, and Blood Axis. His sound is truly unique, and does not conform to one single genre.
He has one release under the alias La Voix Des Nôtres.
As winter hibernation and spring awakening gives way to summer, Halo Manash rises radiant into luminosity, with wings spread into all worlds, and brings forth Taiwaskivi, an opulent work of solar ambience and primordial Ur-music.
Taiwaskivi, a work of sonic flame and aural ash, consists of seven interrelated tracks, utilizing such diverse instrumentation as organ, horns, vocals, drums, gongs, percussions and various string instruments as well as field-recordings captured during the pilgrimage that the creation of the work embodies.
An air of finality abounds, as Taiwaskivi, although a complete work in itself, can also be viewed as the third and final facet of a tripartite series of works that are part of one holistic creation – a treelogy, with seed, root, trunk and finally, branches. Being the culmination of an ascending journey through the aforementioned realms within and without, Taiwaskivi is the celestial crown at the peak, reaching toward Sol, source and beyond; it is the leaves and fruit of the branches and their skybound nectar ever-flowing - the sacred fire, the consummation and conjunction of All.
Comes in a hand finished cardboard booklet. Two different editions are available; regular CD edition and CD + DVD with inserts. Both are limited to 500 copies.

« Henriot avait ce talent français pour faire de la littérature et pondre des grands mots avec une réalité de petit commerçant provincial à gilet en laine mité, qui s'engage dans la Milice par ce goût typiquement français d'emmerder son prochain ; alors que les nazis au moins étaient des fous furieux qui voulaient tout détruire, si on veut aller dans ce sens, ça au moins ça a de la gueule, tout détruire.
Le pétainisme dans son essence c'est appeler des tortionnaires pour qu'ils viennent emmener ton voisin qui fait trop de bruit le soir, la mesquinerie déguisée en " fascisme ". »

The V-Day! lyrics:
Victory Day, how far was it from us Like an ember dieing in the faded fire Mile upon mile, burnt into the dust Comrades, we gave all for this day
Victory Day Gunfire fills the air This celebration We march proud with grey hair This elation With tears in our eyes Victory Day! Victory Day!
Days and nights by camp-fire light Our Motherland spent without sleep. Days and nights hard in battle we did fight Comrades, we gave all for this day
Vic-tor-y Day Gunfire fills the air This celebration We march proud with grey hair This elation With tears in our eyes Vic – tory Day!
Oh Mother there are spaces at your hearth Only ghosts now run barefoot in the dew, Half of Europe we have strode, I say it’s half the Earth Comrades, we gave all for this day
Victory Day Gunfire fills the air This celebration We march proud with grey hair This elation With tears in our eyes Victory Day! Victory Day!
