Best of 2011

Since the year is almost over, it's time for another "best of" post. I'm not ranking albums in a specific order as it's hard for me to compare post-hardcore with symphonic metal. 

We Are The Ocean - Go Now And Live

Rise Against - Endgame

Within Temptation - The Unforgiving

Civet - Love & War

The King Blues - Punk & Poetry

Thursday - No Devolucion

Nightwish - Imaginaerum

What I'm waiting for in 2012 :


Billy Talent - TBA
Lacuna Coil - Dark Adrenaline
Anti-Flag - TBA
Epica - Requiem For The Indifferent
VersaEmerge - TBA
Delain - We Are The Others

Alexisonfire : RIP

Bad news. Alexisonfire has decided to break up. George Pettit explains it all in a statement on the official AOF website.
I'm really sad to hear that. Alexisonfire is my favorite band since the release of Crisis, I even got their "heartskull" tattooed on my arm. Luckily I saw them live twice. Only twice!


Encore un excellent groupe qui se sépare... Alexisonfire. George Pettit explique les raisons qui ont poussé le groupe à prendre cette décision sur le site officiel.
En ce qui me concerne personnellement, c'est une bien mauvaise nouvelle, étant fan du groupe depuis la sortie de Crisis au point de m'etre fait tatoué leur fameux "heartskull" sur le bras. Heureusement je les ai vu deux fois en concert... seulement deux fois et il n'y aura jamais de troisième.

Live : Civet

Civet live @Salle Emeraude, Bressuire (79), FR
Supported by Delirium Tremens and Toxic Nighthawks


Damn! That's what I thought when I learnt Civet were playing in Bressuire, a town lost in the middle of nowhere. It's really nice that the band from Los Angeles and signed on Hellcat Records were playing 1. in France 2. Not only in Paris 3. Only two hours away from me. So let's go to the punk rock show.

Thursday : Magnets Caught In A Metal Heart

Thursday just released a first music video from the new album No Devolucion, for the song "Magnets Caught In A Metal Heart". Enjoy.

La première video pour l'album No Devolucion vient de sortir. Il s'agit du titre "Magnets Caught In A Metal Heart".
