Misanthrope is a French metal band, formed in 1988. The name was taken from Molière's play Le Misanthrope, reflecting the band's theatrical style and the influence of the French dramatist on their music and lyrics.
The band's genre evades categorization, but can be compared to bands from the progressive and technical death metal genres, such as Opeth or In Flames, with a wide array of tempo and style changes. The band uses keyboards and features clean vocals alongside the traditional death grunt.
