The French band Banane Metalik has baptized their music «Gore'n'Roll» and describes it as a mix of horror and Rock'n'Roll. Their lyrics are inspired by the horrific culture, exploitation movies and reindicate the refusal of artistic conformity. Along with a go-gore dancer, their shows are real horror films: scenario, make-up and setting. In 1992, the release of «Sanglantes Confessions» gives Banane Metalik an international recognition. From then Banane Metalik started touring all around Europe (France, Germany, United Kingdom, Spain, Belgium) and recorded their first album in 1994 «Requiem De La Dépravation». Because of its success, the album was quickly re-edited and benefited from a large distribution; however, the band split up in 1995 and came back in 2005. After Banane Metalik has solicited for a few gigs in France and abroad, Banane Metalik plays gigs after gigs with success (a lot of sold out dates) and decides to record a new album titled «Sex, Blood And Gore'n'Roll». The success of the album confirmed the groups’ notoriety and re-enforced their popularity.
Their new album "nice to meat you" breaths rock n roll and relevates a slick production on each song. Numerous musical instruments : violin, theremin, organ tortured by a good dose of punk garage, a Mexican trumpet from the grave, spices up the songs.
Without forgetting the participation of known guests like Loran from Berurier noir on "Fight la propaganda", Duche from Nevrotic exlposion and Laurent from Mass murderers on viva gore n roll, Ella from Madkaps, The final result is feroce without concession, 14 songs as sexy as macabre.
Released in France on the 10th of November 2008 (pias) the new album is followed by a French tour during which numerous show were sold out.
Beginning 2009 Banane Metalik will have an international release and will be distributed in Europe, also in the U.S.A, Japan, Canada, Russia and Brazil.
The animated video clip « Strip or die » from this album is encountering a great success on the internet it will be diffused in France and abroad in 2009.
