Formed in 1995, Anorexia Nervosa specializes in symphonic black metal, along the lines of, say, Dimmu Borgir. The French black metal scene has blossomed in recent years, with arguably more standout bands than any non-Scandinavian country (examples include Seth, Himinbjorg, and Blut Aus Nord), and these guys deserve to be mentioned in the same breath.

Exile is the first studio album by the French symphonic black metal band Anorexia Nervosa. It was released in 1997, through Season of Mist. It is notable as the band's only industrial metal album, before they became a symphonic black metal band. It is also the only album to feature Marc Zabé as one of the guitarists and Stéphane Gerbaut on vocals, as he was later replaced by R.M.S. Hreidmarr when the band decided to abandon the industrial metal
