Zarboth

(1 votes, average: 4 out of 5)

 Loading ...

Rising from the [un]sophisticated underground of Paris, Zarboth began after a chance meeting between Etienne Gaillochet [We Insist !] and Phil Reptil [La Theory du Reptil] in 2007 whilst on a [surely...?] fascinating educational outing.
After forming an instant bond of friendship, the two realised they had known of each others musical projects for years but had never met.
They immediately decided to get together for a jam, and blindly stumbled together into a project full of twisted rhythms, beautiful yelling and playful staccati, giving birth to a union of experimental rock, jazz & metal brimming with old-school punk attitude

Tracklist :

1 - Addict
2 - Wilderness
3 - Argue
4 - Dieceptev
5 - Overtones
6 - Never turn
7 - Hear me
8 - Realize

Motorhead : Overkill

(1 votes, average: 4 out of 5)

 Loading ...

A powerful and dark Rock & Roll that we find in Stay Clean, the great Overkill and Capricorn with their unforgettable solos, and the amazing Metropolis. And on the other tracks, like “(I won’t) pay your price”, “Tear ya down” and “No Class”, you will undoubtebly move your head up and down !!!

Overkill is a must-have for any Hard Rock and Heavy Metal lover, the best of the group to this day.

Café Flesh : I Dumped My Wife I Killed My Dog

(1 votes, average: 4 out of 5)

 Loading ...

Ceux qui les ont côtoyés de près aiment à le dire : « les Café Flesh sont des abrutis ». Ce n’est pas totalement faux. Mais ceux qui les auront vus sur scène ne se trompent pas non plus quand ils déclarent unanimement que Café Flesh est un groupe captivant. Peut-être est-ce le chanteur, avec cette voix à la Tom Waits et cet énorme instrument dans lequel il souffle ? Peut-être est-ce l’immense volume sonore et cette incroyable énergie dégagée ?

Peut-être est-ce, tout simplement, la musique ?

Car si leur premier album (« Pig On The Dancefloor » sorti en 2005, soutenu par le mythique label Noise Amphetamine) se revendiquait des Jesus Lizard, Unsane ou encore Rocket From The Crypt ; son prédécesseur est résolument plus blues. Il est clair que, dorénavant : AC-DC, MC5 et Led Zeppelin sont eux aussi de la partie.

Or cette fois, il n’est pas question de s’approprier le logo d’Atlantic Records. Après avoir enregistré leur second album (« I Dumped My Wife, I Killed My Dog ») à Montpellier en septembre dernier, Café Flesh semble vouloir se rapprocher une fois encore de l’Hérault en s’associant au label Head Records.

Ainsi ce quatuor jarnacais peut accepter sans complexe le titre de ”meilleur groupe de Montpellier” tout en restant fidèle à leurs origines ; le Jarnac Sound et le label qu’ils ont fondé : Furne Records.

Café Flesh et ses ambivalences. Celles qui lui permettent, grâce à un coup de vent ou coup de tête, de passer du calme blanc à la tempête. Entre rires et chansons ; amour de la musique, humour noir et mise à mort de tout art… dramatique ! « It’s a shame », but « it’s a game ».

Le disque est enregistré par Mathieux Croux Goodbye Diana, Sofy Major.

Their entourage agrees: “Café Flesh? What a bunch of morons!” It’s probably well deserved in a way, because our four boys are definitely not the smartest asses around. But the lucky ones who’ve had the chance to witness their live act also say, unanimously: “Café Flesh? Fuck, man, they’re so captivating!”

Is it due to the natural charisma of their singer, who blows you away with his baritone sax and whose voice directly challenges Tom Waits‘? Is it because they’re overwhelmingly loud and powerful? Or is it simply because of the immense quality of their music? You be the judge.

Their first effort, A Pig On The Dancefloor, which was released in 2005 and endorsed by the mythical Amphetamine Reptile record label, was reminiscent of bands such as The Jesus Lizard, Unsane and Rockets From The Crypt. Everybody noticed.

This time, the new record, I Dumped My Wife, I Killed My Dog, is emphatically Blues oriented. From now on, AC/DC, The MC5 and Led Zeppelin are a part of the coercive mix. Will Atlantic Records consent to lend their logo? The only thing we know thus far, is that listeners will shit in their pants with pleasure.

Tracklist :

1 - Track Race
2 - Hippie Sucker
3 - My Dog
4 - My Boss
5 - Nothing In The World Can Replace You
6 - It’s A Shame, It’s A Game
7 - Lullaby
8 - Car Crash
9 - Lips
10 - Born To Lose
11 - Bottle Breaker
12 - Siren Bath Song

The Tantrum : The Frontier Burst

(2 votes, average: 4 out of 5)

 Loading ...

“Most French bands that I’ve heard suck. I don’t know what it is about that country, but by and large the French are a waste from stern to stem. Hell, I’ve been there and (at least in Paris) they sucked. So I was fully prepared for this band to do nothing for me. Well, prove me wrong. Tantrum kicks ass. Consider fellow Europeans Knut and their destructive wall of sound and you’ll get an idea of what Tantrum are going for.
They learned their time signatures from the school of Botch and took some lessons in heaviness from the academy of Mehuggah, and then made a mess of it in Metal shop (you like how I fit that in there?). Definitely worth investigating and if they tried to breach our shores I’d let ‘em in.”

Unswabbed : In Situ

(1 votes, average: 4 out of 5)

 Loading ...

Unswabbed nous livre certainement avec In Situ son album le plus sombre, le plus noir, le plus grave. Sombre dans les textes et les ambiances, les mélodies claires sont moins présentes que par le passé, noir à l’image de l’artwork et de leurs yeux.

By releasing In Situ, Unswabbed probably provides us with its darkest and gravest album. Dark in the texts and moods, clear melodies are less present than they were in the past, dark as the artwork, and as their eyes.

Tracklist :

1 - Ma place (3:42) - Metal
2 - Libre comme l’air (3:38) - Metal
3 - Un monde sans pitié (3:37) - Metal
4 - Addict (2:52) - Metal
5 - Pourquoi (3:43) - Metal
6 - Sauvés (3:03) - Metal
7 - A la dérive (3:36) - Metal
8 - Faire pause (3:19) - Metal
9 - Les nerfs À vif (4:12) - Metal
10 - Comme hier (2:49) - Metal
11 - Remonter le temps (3:21) - Metal
12 - Ma dernière heure (3:37) - Metal
13 - L’écho de vos Âmes (3:52) - Metal
