[FR] Leur facebook indique qu’ils sont dans un genre metalcore/deathcore, ouais c’est pas faux, il n’empêche que ça reste quand même relativement doux. Ouais relativement, parce que pour certains c’est bourrin. Bon eux je pense qu’ils n’ont jamais dû se lever à 6h00 du matin et utiliser un petit Psyopus ou The Dillinger Escape Plan, qui sont les deux groupes qui me viennent en tête pour comparer à Meredith Hunter, pour se lever. Je vous assure que ça vous réveille bien sa maman. Le metalcore marche aussi vachement bien pour palier à la montée de nerfs quand on vous annonce un retard de train.
Comme tous ces groupes de décérébrés (je blague ein) que M6 adore tant, on comprend que dalle aux paroles et on essaie même de nous faire croire que y en a. Bon comme je suis un mec sympa et tout wesh toi même tu sais, je vous provide les lyrics à la fin de la chronique. Ils sont aussi dans le genre chocolatinecore un genre pas trop connu dans le monde mais plutôt bien développé à Toulouse. Prends ça dans ta che-tron Paris. :p

Passons désormais à l’aspect humain avant d’entrer pleinement (et d’en ressortir assez vite) à l’aspect musical.
J’ai rencontré MH grâce à Emmanuel un des deux chanteurs du groupe avec qui j’ai suivi la même formation en études supérieures. Je ne connais pas ses compagnons d’aventures mais [SPOILER ALERT] à la fin de l’EP ils tuent le dragon et sauvent la princesse et retournent boire des bières.

Leur musique est donc tout ce qu’il y a de plus classique dans le metalcore, violente à souhait et on a qu’une envie : lancer des pogos d’enculés et autres wall of death démoniaques pour évacuer toute l’énergie accumulée à l’écoute de cet EP.
Parlons-en justement de ce format, l’EP, il est bien trop court (CTB) et la fin arrive trop tôt alors on espère vite voir un album complet pointer le boût de son nez. En attendant on apprécie énormément le fait que ce soit très propre comme enregistrement et ça c’est cool cool cool.

Ci-dessous, les paroles rapportées d’Emmanuel pour en apprendre un peu plus sur MH (et parce que j’ai la flemme de retranscrire ses propos dans un style indirect) :

« Projet en gestation depuis 2012, enregistré en 2013, et sorti en 2014. Yoann et moi au chant, Guillaume et Samy aux grattes, Théo à la basse et Hélios à la batterie. On vient de milieux assez différents : le batteur est à fond de jazz, moi je suis assez blackmetal et musiques electroniques, mais de tout en fait, et je jouais avant dans un groupe d’emocore « My Last Heroin[e] » le bassiste Théo joue aussi dans le groupe Baron Samedi, qui est beaucoup plus rock et chanté en français, et les 3 autres avaient un groupe de Thrash avant, « raise your gun ».

Nos paroles sont au final assez noires, font état d’un monde en dépérissement, une vision assez post-apocalyptique du monde, nietzschéenne. On se prend la main, on s’entraide, et on avance, car sous nos pieds tout s’effondre. On aimerait sortir un format physique mais pour l’instant trop peu de sous. Pour le merch, il nous faut déjà un graphisme cool, ce qu’on est en train d’étudier. On vient juste de sortir un truc donc rien d’autre avant qu’on ait commencé les concerts. On va pas tarder à commencer à chercher d’ailleurs ! »
[Et là en fait y avait la meilleure partie mais un peu trop indécente pour vos yeux fragiles, désolé les filles.]

[EN] Their Facebook indicates that they are in a metalcore / deathcore genre, yeah it is not false, nevertheless that remains relatively soft. Yeah relatively, because for some it is brutal. Well I think that for those guys they never had to get up at 6:00 am and use some Psyopus or The Dillinger Escape Plan, who are both groups which come to my mind to compare with Meredith Hunter, to get up. I assure you that this wakes you well. The metalcore works tremendously well for landing on the way up of nerves when we announce you a delay of train.

As all these groups of decerebrated (I joke huh) that M6 (a French TV channel) adores so much, we understand nothing atthe lyrics and they even try to persuade us that there are some. As I am a nice guy and, I proempty you lyrics at the end of the text. They are also in the chocolatinecore genre, a genre not too much known in the world but rather developed well in Toulouse. Take that in your face Paris. :p

Let’s focus on the human aspect before entering completely (and to to go out rom it rather fast) the musical aspect.
I met MH thanks to Emmanuel one of the two singers of the group with whom I did the same training course in higher education. I do not know his companions of adventures but [SPOILER ALERT] at the end of the EP they kill the dragon, save the princess and go back drinking beers.

Their music is very classic in the metalcore, violent as wished and we have a desire: launch some pogos and other demonic wall of death to evacuate all the energy accumulated listening this EP.
Let’s speak about this format, the EP, it is very too short (like your dicks) and the end arrives too early so we hope to see a complete album soon. While waiting for it we appreciate enormously the fact that it is a very clean recording and that, it is cool cool cool.

Emmanuel tells us more about his project:

« Project in gestation since 2012, recorded in 2013, and brought out in 2014. Yoann and I at the singing, Guillaume and Samy at the guitars, Théo at the bass and Hélios to the drums. We come from rather different origins: the drummer is fond of jazz, I am more into blackmetal and electronic musics, and everything, and I played before in a group of emocore « My Last Heroin[e] » the bass player Théo also plays in the group Baron Samedi, which is much more rock and sung in French, and the 3 others had a group of Thrash before, « raise your gun ».

Our lyrics are rather black, state a world in decay, a rather post-apocalyptic vision of the world, nietzschéenne. We hold our hands, we help each other, and we move forward, because under our feet everything collapses. We would like to bring a physical format but at the moment we have very few money. For the merch, we need a cool graphist, what we are studying. But nothing else before we begin concerts. We are going to start looking for venues. » [And there was the best part but slightly too indecent for your fragile eyes there, sorry girls.]

Silence of Rising

Here I stand on the fallen land
Face to face on crowd remains
No way to get out of here
Comes the last fight, no fear

I pick the fight again
At least I’m free
Until the day we die
No time to cry

At the bottom of the wall my bleeding fist will crash in those faces
What doesn’t kill me, makes me stronger
Ready to strike I am the resistance, freedom is rushing through my veins
You are my friends of strife Legion is rising

We will resist until the day we die
Keep on struggling my hand into your hand
The battle is raging so high
I hear the anthem of rebellion

I am the resistance, freedom is rushing through my veins
You are my friends of strife
Legion is fucking rising

This is the way i pick to die
So proud, united, we’ll stand as one
Fight for something we believe in
Fight for something I’m dreaming

I’ll fight until the end of time
Until the day becomes bright
Protect my sons and my brothers to see tomorrow clearer

I lock up the head of the power
Annihilate the great sinner
It will be the last bleeding hope
It will be the crown of your hope

At the bottom of the wall my bleeding fist will crash in those faces
What doesn’t kill me, makes me stronger
Ready to strike
I am the resistance, freedom is rushing through my veins
You are my friends of strife Legion is rising

We will resist until the day we die
Keep on struggling my hand into your hand
The battle is raging so high
I hear the anthem of rebellion

This anthem will be the last of never ending story
This war will last forever and a day

The Greedy Sin

I could not believe our end is near
I could not believe that it’s too late
Chaos that we made is growing up
Feeding by human weakness

Ho! We’ll pay for everyday, the greedy sin
Ho! We’ll pay for everyday, the greedy sin

This tainted whore can’t stand anymore
Human foolishness, blindness

Each day one step closer, close to the fool’s fall
Each day become clearer, no brighter future
Persist in rotting the Mother Earth
Condemned to rot, to rot on dying Earth

This just a revenge, Reversal!

There is no escape, brought up cancer
When fallen ashes invade corpses

No hope, no glimmer
Getting to disorder
It’s worst than dissoluteness
Welcome to carnival
As something bridal
The wedding of creation and destruction

The grave wide open inhale the rests
Of human bullshit
New land of Eden

This tainted whore can’t stand anymore
Human foolishness, blindness

I could not believe our end is near
I could not believe that it’s too late
Chaos that we made is growing up
Feeding by human weakness

I pay for everyday, the greedy sin
My eyes are wide open

The Better way to go

Cold wind ‘s touching my face,
Frontal light enlarges my vision.

I left flesh shelter, feel my soul touching astral life
One step on earth, the other in orbital

Green vision

Green vision front of us
Green vision calls me, invites me to infinity
Green vision vision invites us
Green vision whispers me

Something screwed life inside me,
Black hole inhales material

Something screwed life inside me,
Black hole inhales material
Glimmer has turned to black (x2)

Space slip directly from here to there
Bleeding, it’s not you, health but your thought

Some solar dust springs from here, burning through my space (x2)

Green vision has reason of me,
It shows me a new world
Brighter but maybe unreal
It seems to be the better way to go

Born cursed

This world is hard to fight
And everyone will get knock down (x2)

The face smashes on the floor
Nobody wins round
Tasting blood of your brothers

Now get up on the ring to pit decline against
The final rest
The last human waste of your brothers budge now

You face the reality, nobody hears us fall
Seems like a tragedy written in blood
You close your brother’s eyes

Welcome to slaughter house, no law no rules now Are you able to smash?
To make a bloodshed
There’s just the weak who leave this place on their knees
There’s just the weak who leave this place

To pretend surviving, you curse innocent
Innocent child of new Eden can’t breath

This sin has blood savour The Blood of brothers

 

Wash your soul

You know, it’s time to pay,
Washing your scary soul with deserved pain
Learning the weight of any act (x2)

An eye for an eye,
A tooth for a tooth (x2)

I would like to believe in god to be sure that after you’re your death
Hell finds you
For eternally remind

Why it’s your place to be (x4)

It’s time to pay,
Washing your scary soul with deserved pain
Learning the weight of any act

Give me your arms for my knife
Wash your soul with shiny blood
Give me your arms for my knife Wash your soul

Give me your arms for my knife
Wash your soul with shiny blood
Give me your arms for my knife

Wash your soul now (x4)

All your life is a lie I’m the hatred in you (x2)

The blackness which light up your mind

You are my sweet dream but i’m your worst nightmare
I hardly soil your honor
As long as you stain your soul
Your punishment is so close right now
Wishes won’t be granted
Sins can’t be forgiven
The blackness which light up your mind

You will never have grace in this life
