With the album “Souvent Fauch Toujours Marteau”, Brurier Noir completed seven years of permanent agitation. More than a title, it’s a demand that puts a masterly end to the epic of the herd of rock. The themes dear to Les Brus blend together in the ultimate uproar: anti-militarism, resistance to drugs, nostalgia for the squats that nurtured a rebellious youth, revolt in the ghetto suburbs, international solidarity… all underlined by a zest of Brurire madness. The band also experimented with hip hop sounds and surprising, welcome oriental resonances, echoes of folklore from the world zone. However, this album abandons the satirical aspects with which its predecessors were imbued. The tone is no longer one of facetiousness: our two clowns have written their epitaph, and it is resolutely black.

Production notes: recorded in 1989 by Eric Dbris (Mtal Urbain) and mixed by Franz Treichler (Young Gods) and Eric Dbris.
