Biography
Seekers Of The Truth are considered veterans in the French hardcore scene having been in existence now for more than 20 years. Starting out in 1988 under the name, Shit Happens, they released two demos and a 7". They were then contacted in 1996 by the German record company, Lost and Found, (Ignite, Discipline, Tech9, Backfire, Uniform Choice, Youth of Today, White Devil?) to record an album ("Out of Ignorance", 11 tracks, 1996) and a mcd ("Transcendence", 5 tracks, 1997). At this point they changed their name to Seekers of the Truth, paying homage to the Cro-mags as well as to represent the spirit of the band more accurately.
During their first decade of existence, Seekers of the Truth toured the Netherlands, Austria, Hungary, Croatia and Belgium playing with Agnostic Front, Comin' Correct, 25 ta Life, Snapcase, Shelter, Backfire, Racial Abuse, Stormcore, Out for Blood, Right for Life, Drowning, Primal Age? After their appearance on the V/A cd with the French label Overcome Records, and a 7" with Tribal Zone, the band members decided to put things on pause for 7 years.
In 2005, Xav and Sylvain, the only two original remaining band members, came together and released the "Tinman" cd in 2006, and then also appeared on a V/A cd, both with Eternalis Records. In 2009, with their new band line-up, JP on guitar (former MST and Madhouse), Clem on guitar, Franck on bass, Sylvain on drums, and Xav as voice, they recorded "2 Decades Shunning Masks" with Customcore/Disagree Records. They then continued to make a few shows with Sick Of It All, Gang Green, Settle the Score, Out For The Count, None Shall Be Saved, Knuckledust, Reign Supreme, 50 Lions, Dagoba, All For Nothing...
Seekers of the Truth have always been delivering a positive message and encouraging a good state of mind, based on others' respect and freedom. The lyrics are positive, putting the stress on consciousness and responsibility in our daily acts rather than simple critique of society. Their music, like their message, is sincere and full of energy, with no hesitation to mix old and new hardcore influences.
