KILLERS doesn’t need to be introduced to you anymore, given that they are the only French heavy-metal band to be still active since the early Eighties. Considered now a compulsory reference on the local scene, this line-up from the Pays Basque starts the third millennium feeling themselves equal to the "new" bands ! After the live opus "Ennemis En Public" (1996) that looked back on more than ten years of professional career, the six first studio albums were reissued by the Brennus label. The first two, "…Fils De La Haine" (1985) and "Danger De Vie" (1986) were originally issued on a major record label. The later ones were produced by Bruno DOLHEGUY around a renewed team: "Mise Aux Poings" (1987), "Résistances" (1989), "Cités Interdites" (1992) and "Contre-Courant" (1995). Since then, KILLERS has recorded an album per year: "Fort Intérieur" (1998), "109" (1999) and "Mauvaises Graines" (2000). Given their growing success abroad (Particularly in Germany), KILLERS has got rougher and issued the first English version of one of their albums, until then all sung in French (Adding up a few tracks in Basque): "Killing Games" (2001). That year also gave them a chance to issue a new version called "Mise Aux Poings ­ 2001", sung by Bruno DOLHEGUY and including a longer than 9 minutes high quality video. If one say that "Habemus Metal" also includes a powerful as well as unrespectable cover, 2002 proves to be an excellent year from them. Second album recorded with an audience, "Le Côté Live !" (2003) allows the listener to rediscover the tracks from the beginnings performed by the current band. The least we can say is that the result is astounding ! An absolutely indispensable discography !
