Collection #2

Since 1983, the most ancient Hardcore gang of the country skilfully play with styles, feverishly combining HC, jazz, post-punk and metal while carefully avoiding the structures of classic rock : nervous and powerful rhythms, fucked up beats, inventive harmonies and unexpected dissonances mix with an imperious and inspired voice.

The discrepancy get even stronger with the use of a mysterious language : Ogam. Derived from Celtic language (of course), it is the language of Gnomes, underground and minute people - 5 inches high, pointy hat not included - which made the singer PLEX their messenger on earth, talking to him in dreams.

Following their gigs itinerary alongside the best artists of international Hardcore as well as French rock (All, Scream, Gorilla Biscuit, Naked Raygun, Silverfish, Cadavres, Wampas, Parabellum, Bérurier-Noir, etc...), and multiple records on their own label "LA VOIX DES GNOMES", CRASH re-released the whole of their early tracks (now become rarities) in two compilations, thereby saluting ten years of unique independent actions. Come and join the crazy world of LES GNOMES !

In "Collection N°2" (19 tracks), you'll find the 2nd L.P. "HISTOIRES DE GLUMZ", the tracks released on 2 compilations, studio unreleased stuff and an additional extract of "DEM REDWRN": compact sound, clearly more metal, strong breaks, raging riffs, complex constructions and always more madness and velocity...
