Spektr is an experimental black metal duo formed in 2000, in Paris, France. They are currently signed to Candlelight Records and have released two full-length albums to date. The bands sound is a mix of raw black metal à la Darkthrone with elements of industrial and dark ambient, which has drawn comparisons to the more recent works of fellow countrymen Blut Aus Nord.

Their work has drawn very wide attention and acclaim, with their first being dubbed 'the weirdest black metal album ever' by Aquarius Records in San Francisco [cite web | title=Near Death Experience > Overview | work=Allmusic | url=http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:a9fyxq8dldte] , and their second being acclaimed as "absolutely essential, unique and memorable" and "an album with a solid artistic value". [cite web | title=Spektr | work=Candlelight Records | url=http://www.candlelightrecords.co.uk/candleweb/redesign/candle_spektr.htm]

Very little is known about the members of this group, other than that they are also involved with the black metal groups Battlehorns and Haemoth.
