Misanthrope is a French progressive death metal band, formed in 1988.
The name of the band is taken from Moliere's play Le Misanthrope,
reflecting the band's very theatrical style and the influence of the French dramatist on their music and lyrics.
The band's genre is difficult to define, but could probably be best described 
as progressive/technical death metal, 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.
1666... Theatre Bizarre is their third studio album and it is sung in English on tracks 1, 3, 5 and 8;
French on track 2, 4, 6, 7, and 11; and German on track 10.
The band vocalist, Phillipe Courtois, is the owner of Holy Records.
