Deux news donc, un mini-lp de feu-The Flycatchers, le groupe dont j'ai été le chanteur (et seulement le chanteur) ces 4/5 dernières années et qui s'est séparé en juillet suite à de premières et, donc, ultimes sessions, enregistrées à l'excellent Swan Sound Studio de Guillaume Doussaut, en plein bocage normand (cadre idyllique, qui plus est !). Je vous en mets un extrait en attendant la totale qui, écoutable sur SoundCloud, s'appelle A Dog's Tale. Et puis le texte, si jamais ça vous intéresse :
" A DOG'S TALE
Let me tell you the story,
Of my true best friend.
Let me tell you he's sorry,
Of his dark descent.
Now he's 6 ft. under,
Rotting in the ground.
It ain't even murder,
He was a basset hound.
Of my true best friend.
Let me tell you he's sorry,
Of his dark descent.
Now he's 6 ft. under,
Rotting in the ground.
It ain't even murder,
He was a basset hound.
Let me tell you the story,
Of the one who killed.
My dear lovely Teddy,
My old bag of fleas.
Now he's 6 ft. under,
Rotting in the ground.
It's ain't even murder,
They saw him leave by the last Greyhound.
Of the one who killed.
My dear lovely Teddy,
My old bag of fleas.
Now he's 6 ft. under,
Rotting in the ground.
It's ain't even murder,
They saw him leave by the last Greyhound.
If you think there's no morale,
In my lil' dog tale,
Just think of the rascal,
And of Abigail,
Her wet tender puppy eyes,
Her wagging tail that never lies,
Will never replace old Teddy,
But she's a great border collie.
In my lil' dog tale,
Just think of the rascal,
And of Abigail,
Her wet tender puppy eyes,
Her wagging tail that never lies,
Will never replace old Teddy,
But she's a great border collie.
It's a dog's tale..."

Et puis il y a la suite et mon projet "rebond" puisque j'en ai commencé la composition le soir de la fin des sessions. J'étais parti sur une chanson, je me suis dit que ce serait amusant d'en faire un EP... Je me retrouve au final avec 11/12 titres (selon ce que je vais "amalgamer") et une cinquantaine de minutes dans un genre qu'on définira comme metal.
Petites précisions d'usage, je ne suis pas un grand instrumentiste. En fait, avec moins de deux ans de guitare et un apprentissage plus instinctif que théorique, il pourrait difficilement en être autrement. Je ne suis pas, non plus, un grand ingénieur du son. Par conséquent, mes démos maison sont d'absolus bricolages et de complets brouillons demandant à être habités par des musiciens bien plus compétents que moi et mis en son par un professionnel digne de ce nom.
Dans les faits, je me suis inspiré du mythe de Cthulhu créé par H.P. Lovecraft. L'album potentiel s'appellerait Ktulumytos et le "groupe" Steroq. Je vous en livre trois titres, dont l'inaugural (H.P.'s Manila) dans des stades plus ou moins avancés de finition et de raffinement.
Vos avis, critiques ou louangeurs, sont évidemment les bienvenus !
Et donc, trois titres, trois textes :
"H.P.'S MANILA
Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn
(In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming)
(In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming)
Praying to the spirits of the old,
To let the whole story unfold,
To help rise the creatures of the sea, coming free.
I smell the deep stench on the night,
They're getting ready to attack,
I want to help, I'm so ready, please come to me.

Azathoth, Daoloth and Ny-Rakath...
The great old ones are roaming free.
C'thalpa, Mh'ithrha, Shub-Niggurath...
Their light is shining down on me.
Xexanoth, Yog-Sothoth, Ammutseba...
Death, destruction, the remedy.
Tru'nembra, Shabbith-Ka and Cthylla...
Their damnation is sweet to me.
The great old ones are roaming free.
C'thalpa, Mh'ithrha, Shub-Niggurath...
Their light is shining down on me.
Xexanoth, Yog-Sothoth, Ammutseba...
Death, destruction, the remedy.
Tru'nembra, Shabbith-Ka and Cthylla...
Their damnation is sweet to me.
I see the changes on my face,
I'm no more from the human race,
My tainted blood is resurging, setting me free.
Someday I'll become one of them,
Another monster in their den,
I cannot wait, I'm so ready, please come to me.

I feel like howling at the moon,
I want to fight and feel their fright, oh come to me!

"MARCH OF THE DAMNED
Crawling like crabs on the beach and entering the sea.
All the faithfuls dream of thee, the power that will be.
All the faithfuls dream of thee, the power that will be.
He's alive,
He's awake,
The Great Cthulhu has come to us.
So we march,
We, the damned,
Incubus and succubus.
He's awake,
The Great Cthulhu has come to us.
So we march,
We, the damned,
Incubus and succubus.
Now walking under salty water but still breathing alright.
The Great Cthulhu has blessed us with his unholy might.
The Great Cthulhu has blessed us with his unholy might.
Here he comes,
Here we go,
Forgetting all world's sorrows.
It's the march,
Of the damned,
It's our Kilimanjaro.
Here we go,
Forgetting all world's sorrows.
It's the march,
Of the damned,
It's our Kilimanjaro.
Mourning,
Humanity's disparaging,
Everywhere thunder and lightning,
It's the end of the world of man.
Hunting,
From the sewers we're searching,
The men-rats,
Inferior breeding.
It's the dusk of humanity.
Humanity's disparaging,
Everywhere thunder and lightning,
It's the end of the world of man.
Hunting,
From the sewers we're searching,
The men-rats,
Inferior breeding.
It's the dusk of humanity.
Running, jumping, flying easy and ready to attack
From the grim of the deep sea we'll soon be coming back.
From the grim of the deep sea we'll soon be coming back.
It's the march,
Of the damned,
It's humanity reclaimed.
Oh! Cthulhu!
Dream again,
While we march and pray your name.
Of the damned,
It's humanity reclaimed.
Oh! Cthulhu!
Dream again,
While we march and pray your name.
Here he comes,
Here we go,
Forgetting all world's sorrows.

"BLIND IDIOT GOD
Into the void of space,
A crack seems out of place.
A creature appears,
Waking our oldest fears.
The Blind Idiot God is here...
A crack seems out of place.
A creature appears,

The Blind Idiot God is here...
Since it madness descents,
The world stopped making sense.
Azathoth's unaware,
It can't tell care from scare.
It's just a Blind Idiot God...

Azathoth's unaware,
It can't tell care from scare.
It's just a Blind Idiot God...

Azathoth, devourer of worlds.]

And Now the rain is dry,
Fishes float in the sky,
The sun circles the earth,
Baby's are old at birth,
Because of a Blind Idiot God...

There will be Hell to Pay,

Voilà, c'étaient des nouvelles de quelqu'un qui vous a quitté mais pas pour se tourner les pouces, hein !, certainement pas. Je suis simplement passé à autre chose et mon temps n'étant, hélas, pas extensible...
Je n'hésiterai pas à venir vous revoir ici ou à vous communiquer mon nouvel antre cybernétique. En attendant, vous pouvez passer sur mon fessebouc.
A bientôt à tous !
Stefan
