Satan Jokers
Addictions (+ Ebook)
"Addictions" is the unconventionnal encounter between SATAN JOKERS, a cult Hard Rock group , born in the 80s, who have always been in the lead on the French Metal scene, on the one hand, and Laurent KARILA, a famous addiction specialist psychiatrist, author of the best-seller "Une histoire de poudre" (Editions Flammarion), on the other hand. The purpose was to deal, together, with the struggle against addictions, The album was produced by Renaud HANTSON and Laurent KARILA. The melodies of the 13 songs were conceived to be in keeping with the strength of the lyrics and of what they call to mind. Rapid rhythms symbolyse the euphoria of the first snorts and the loss of control on the stuff ("Queen Cocaine", "Mephedrone", "Appetite for Self Destruction"). The force of some melodies dwells in their federative side ("Euphoria", "Rewarding Substance", "Paranoid Effect"). Other titles are introspective, with slower tempos, evoking the difficult moments of decision making and of the ending of the stuff consumption ("A Week in Hell", "Honeymoon", "Cerebral Puzzle").
