Tantrum: Twisted in Anguish LP
Originally released in 1997 on Vicious Circle, "Twisted In Anguish", the
second album by Tantrum finally sees a vinyl release.
Freshly remastered for the occasion by David Weber at Studio Des Forces
Motrices in Geneva (he recorded the album back in 96). Tantrum started
as the hardcore twin of the grunge band Drive Blind under the influence
of Helmet, Unsane or Today Is The Day, it can also be seen as the outlet
of Pierre Viguier (guitar/vocals – Drive Blind), joined on this record
by Nicolas Gromoff (drums – Drive Blind) and Jean-Michel Gimenez (bass –
Beamtrap).
Tantrum released a long series of splits with the most significant bands
of the French scene at that time: Belly Button, Knut, Epileptic,
Beamtrap, and toured with Burning Heads, Seven Hate, Portobello Bones or
Condense.
Nine raging songs that jump on your throat: an entire branch of music
collapse and rise again, the fist in the air! Monolithic guitars,
monstrous bass groove and relentless drumming, Tantrum is ready to fight! At the end of the record, "Fault" a unifying song written with two
basses gives you that irrepressible urge to flip back the record to side
A. Black vinyl in full colour sleeve with digital download coupon. Limited edition of 300 copies.
