[edit] Overview

Due to their aesthetic approach and member associations, Puissance are often associated with black metal. However, they do not make any use of guitars and rely on electronic instrumentation such as synthesizers and samplers, resulting in an approach heavily influenced by industrial music, but the music is described as heavy neoclassic ambient marches. The recurring theme among most of the song lyrics is extreme misanthropy and nihilism. Nuclear holocaust is also a commonly explored theme. Also they are influenced by fascism and totalitarian dictatorship, this doesn't mean that they are fascists, they only sing about this because it is a way to oppress people.

The lyrics are sung in English.

There is also a much more militant sideproject from this band that is called Arditi.
