In 1991 Jacquy Bitch launched his solo career, leaving behind him his previous
group Neva (Louchald, Vision, etc…..), a group that disbanded in 1989 following
two essential albums. Releasing two self produced cassettes and a video
comprising concert clips and other assorted extracts, Jacquy Bitch soon
confirmed his position as a cult figure of the French ‘electro-batcave’ scene.
Noted for concerts that were a mix of the baroque theatrical, and performances
sprinkled with surrealist language and apocalyptic imagery, Jacquy Bitch brought
out a Mini 5 track CD containing the indispensable ‘Jesus’, then a first CD
‘Coram’ released on the Dark Side label in 1998. The ‘Clown of the Macabre’
stepped out from the shadows again in 2003 with the release of ‘Haine’, an album
full of powerful industrial electro-rock, and the habitual Jacquy Bitch batcave
and new wave influences that had become his trade mark.
“Story from the Old Years” and the
succesfull "When Walls Cry" have been produced in 2007 and 2010
on Alone Prod label.

Chrysalis Morass

BOOKING MANAGEMENT WEBSITE FACEBOOK MYSPACE
French deathrock band created in 2008 at the death of the band Eat Your Make Up.
CHRYSALIS MORASS, or Swamp of chrysalises, from "khrusos " (“golden” in
Greek) and contraction of " horse chestnut in paste " (“marron d’inde en strass”
in French) is a French deathrock band created in 2008 on Eat Your Make Up's
ashes by Anthony, Emilie, JF, La Isa and Plag O' Platre, five souls
materiarealized in as many bodies met one day in this morass (quagmire,
quicksand).
For, there are unknown Lands and Dimensions, airlocks with
restricted access and with legendary Key. Chrysalis Morass illustrates this
perfectly. This wide space of dead wood dipping into a broth with still unknown
temperature, this baroque area of barren land and of mainly sinister and so
not-welcoming atmosphere, is the key point of the subject of this introduction .
Disregarding this first sight, at least mortal, the most Haggard - agar visitor
will soon realize that just like the big equatorial forests where the modern man
should never set foot in, he develops a discreet and luxuriant abnormally
impertinent and rich life, a surprise. Where live, mostly, chrysalises.
The first six tracks album of Chrysalis
Morass‘Māyā has been released in 2010. The first album would be recorded in 2012.

The brotherhood of Pagans

BOOKING MANAGEMENT WEBSITE FACEBOOK MYSPACE
The Brotherhood of Pagans is a French Goth group formed in March 1990. Risen
from the ashes of two other groups of the Cold Wave genre – Itchy Souls and
Nuits Heretiques, it initially comprised Alien (rhythm guitar and vocals), Coccs
(synthesiser), Sailor (drums), Elrik (Bass) and Vox Populi (guitar).
The
group began playing it’s first live gigs in 1991, but it was during the course
of 1993 that the ‘BOP’ started to make themselves known, thanks principally to
the beginning of a their relationship with the French label ‘Darkland of Tears’.
Among other things, this enabled the BOP to provide support for Corpus Delicti
at a concert in Nice, and to appear at a Festival in Dorsten (Germany) in front
of 800 people. This marked the start of their journey.
This collaboration
with Darkland of Tears further allowed BOP access to numerous compilation
albums, firstly those on the Darkland label such as ‘Cold Tears’ and
‘Gothicland’, then on compilations produced by International labels of renown
like ‘Goth Box’ by Cleopatra, and ‘Death by Dawn’ by Appolyon. The Brotherhood
featured on around a dozen compilations on 5 continents, evidence of their
ability to attract public attention even though they had yet to produce their
first album.
The afore-mentioned first album finally appeared in March 1995.
‘Tales of Vampires’ was an immediate success. Released in 17 countries, their
debut album threw up 2 classics of the genre, the unrelenting ‘Resurrection’ and
the never to be forgotten ‘Guilty’.
Unfortunately at the peak of it’s glory,
the band split following the departure of it’s bassist Elrik. More than just a
group member, Elrik was a brother, and following his departure the group decided
to put the BOP into hibernation.
Yet, they still met regularly, it just
seemed too difficult to start the machine after such a long time. And also, how
could they revive the Brotherhood without two of its original members? Indeed,
Alien was working on a solo project under the name Alien Marteens, and Elrick
had joined the band Disorder.
In 2006, Vox, Coccs and Sailor (now the singer
of the band) decided to head for the studio in order to start writing a new
album: Only Once, produced in february 2009 by Alone Prod.
