Since 2018, France's ANIMALIZE keep playing the kind of
music that you (or your parents) may listened to 40
years ago. You know that "Heavy Metal" sound that
appeared at a time when none of the band members was
born. Well, they're still doing it.
However, it is the band's love of movies which arguably
influence ANIMALIZE's outlook the most and make the
difference. For them, a visual identity and atmosphere -
whether in their visual aesthetic, be it artwork or
onstage, or especially their eventual videos - are of
the utmost importance. Film also feeds their lyrics,
quite often. The band states that such movies as Evil
Dead, Mad Max, Pet Sematary, Masters of the Universe,
and Terminator are among their most beloved.
While they would bring both to Technicolor climax with
their debut album for DYING VICTIMS, Meat We Are Made
Of, during the summer of 2022, ANIMALIZE nevertheless
came out with all guns blazing two years prior on the
preceding mini-album Tapes From the Crypt. With an
eye-grabbing (and era-authentic) cover setting the
stage, the originally-limited Tapes From the Crypt
managed to make ANIMALIZE's strengths plain and
POWERFUL: cruising speed metal glory crossing swords
with radio-ready traditional metal of a most mid-'80s
vintage. This is the sound of ANIMALIZE at their most
straightforward- and, arguably, most accessible - for
the proceeding debut full-length found them upping the
vocal layering and especially the complexity
considerably, but the gleam & glory of Tapes From the
Crypt is undeniable, and undeniably fun. A snapshot of a
still-boundless band finding their wings.
