Description

They’re back and it could be brutal. It has to be said that Von Pariahs have never done in sweet songs. And there is no sign of any softening on that front. Quite the contrary, the first single from the third album due out next October is a real post-punk bomb on repeat... But where have they been? Little or no news for months... Well, the answer is simple: they were working on their new album, the third, announced for next October. Three years after Genuine Feelings, six years after Hidden Tensions, the most punk rock sextet in the Nantes galaxy is throwing in the world’s face a first excerpt as tense as it is intoxicating. Their idea? “Break the rock rhythm. Emphasize repetition, length. The whole and then the nothing. Dark, post-apocalyptic lyrics, in a world where there is a lack of air, the Pistols’ no future resonates, the verse sung like a sick nursery rhyme. In the track ‘Suffocate’ the idea is to push rock to its limits, to make it race on an ostinato before crashing into strong and dynamic choruses” - Eric Guillaud - SUPERSONIKK
