Sortilege: Larmes De Héros France, the land of good cheeses and awesome wines, has never been renowned for its metal scene. In fact, maybe if it changed a little bit these days with the growing French Black Metal scene or a major band like Gojira, but in the eighties metal was more associated with Great-Britain, USA, Germany or even Sweden than France. Happily, this didn't prevent France from having a Metal upsurge at the beginning of this infamous decade with bands such as Satan's Jokers, Vulcain and, of course, Sortilege. This last band had everything to succeed: good composition skills; an awesome singer that some critics dared to compare to Rob Halford; and guitarists with an impressive sense of melody. But, singing in French, not comfortable in their attempts to sing in Shakespeare's language and lacking the support of any serious record company, in 1986 Sortilege decided to disband after roughly five years, leaving one Demo, one EP and two awesome full-length albums. Almost forgotten as of 2010, Chuck Schuldiner's favorite band deserved more than this. That is why your humble slave is here today; to make you discover one of the best traditional Heavy Metal albums I've heard in my life, their very last album Larmes De Héros. Read more ›› |

What an awesome album this is, very early to mid 80's metal with French lyrics. What separates this band from million other similar groups are the songwriting skills and ear to powerful dramatic melodies which make even more simpler songs sound epic and incredibly memorable even though there's nothing that special or extreme instrumentalwise. "Quand Un Aveugle Rêve", meaning "When a blind man dreams" is my favourite song, it's such an incredible epic it immediately made me a fan.
---- You've got a lot of guts. Let's see what they look like!
