To build anticipation for the April 24th release of the 5-track debut EP “Gallodrome,” Scorie, the moody French four-piece from Paris, made of Germain Izydorczyk (Vocals-Guitars), Antoine Barbier (Bass – Brace! Brace!), Achille Germain (Drums) and Arthur Dantcikian (Guitar – Mardros), drops an Official Video directed by Pierre Veron and Theo Rodien for the third single “Room Full Of Gangsters,” via fellow Paris-based label GÉOGRAPHIE.
The band churns out a distinctive nuanced sound oeuvre with a sharp punk approach to post-punk patterns, through reverb-drenched noir-ish crooned tunes, pulling from glam, art-rock, jazz and psychedelia.
A 5:33-minute haunting and raucous slow-burning scorcher, set in a stifling Western atmosphere, recounts the confessions of a man staring his existence and his death straight in the eyes.
Cloaked in a cinematic doom-laden air of creeping wistful sparkly guitar tones and sultry trumpet vibrato, atmospheric male vocals veer from smooth, gloomy introspection to hoarse, anxious madness with waves of terrified cries, ghostly disorientations, and rage filled shouts unfolding inside an emotionally erratic backdrop of stumbling percussions and haunted bass pulses, churning beneath rambling layers of edgy distorted 6-string riffs, reedy icy organ-like keyboard chords, and resonant poignant blustery brassy swells, ebbing and flowing, back and forth, before turning into an urgent and vibrant raving pace, where an uncontrollable rowdy chaos takes hold.
The Official Video by Pierre Veron and Theo Rodien stars Germain Izydorczyk (the dead man) and Achille Germain (the executioner) in a dramatic story about life and death. Izydorczyk wears a black suit with an Illuminati tie, next to a symbolic tapestry featuring white sheep. A surreal highway at night turns to grey daylight while Germain walks down a dirt country road with a shovel on his left shoulder. Lights strobe and invert to indicate a conversion of perception before Izydorczyk stands ignorant while Germain digs his grave. Shadows dance, and the mood becomes fun and thrilling before the burial leaves only one man alive.
