TURQUOISE

Sang, Larmes & Râles (LP)

Symphony Of Destruction Records - 15 €

Two years after their debut "Hantise", Paris' best - and sole - käng unit TURQUOISE are back with a new album entitled ''Sang, larmes et râles''. If you expected a drastic change in terms of songwriting then you're in for a major disappointment and you're clearly deluded. However, if you crave for an extra portion of abrasive Swedish-style hardcore sung (well...) in French with lyrics dealing with our chaotic time, then this is exactly what you need. This time around the band went for a rockier feel without losing the aggression and focused on writing mean choruses that even the most inept singers should be able to shout along to. Eight songs of totalitarian hardcore in 16 minutes, no arsing around. The brilliant artwork reminiscent of anguished outsider art was drawn by the talented Alan Doyle and "Sang, larmes et râles" is released on Symphony of Destruction and Les Choeurs de l'Ennui. Go to your favourite off-licence and grab the thing.
