TAMTRUM, offer us their final release in which they summarize 9 years of noise aggression, 9 years of music debauchery, 9 years of perversity on the road throughout Europe (over 125 concerts in a dozen of countries!), 9 years of profound symbiosis with their faithful fanbase and sexy groupies… 

Titled “Allez Tous Vous Faire Mettre” (we could freely translate from French like “Fxxk You Deep – All Of You!”) is a beautiful condensed retrospective of TAMTRUM’s history including not only an astounding live DVD recording of their farewell tour recorded with some 8 different camera’s in Paris (Divan du Monde) in September 2012, but also their memorable 30 minute live show at Hellfest in 2010, some video clips as well as a 75 minute self-filmed “rock-umentary” shot on the road with and by the band members throughout 2005 to 2012. A crazy, funny and deviant insight in the band’s tumultuous life on the road, with its love and its hate moments, TAMTRUM’s renown backstage excesses and the internal band clashes… Precious moments reminding us of how much “rock’n roll” the dark elektro act TAMTRUM has always been in their attitude and lifestyle… 

We also seized the opportunity of this huge DVD retrospective (of more than 3 hours of TAMTRUM) to compile a 15-track CD compilation gathering the band’s highlights, but also a bunch of unreleased songs and rare versions for the ultimate pleasure of their fans who are still crying about TAMTRUM’s decision to quit the music scene to become good fathers, businessmen or poker gamers…

While the exclusive “The Ricky Horror Picture Show” (last song ever recorded by the band in the true tradition of their early club hits!), the groovy “Don’t Stay Away From Me”, the crazy “P.I.G.” as well as cover versions of MORBID ANGELS and DEPECHE MODE justify on their own the purchase of this collector anthology, you will also enjoy the fully newly rerecorded versions of the cult songs “Tantrum”, “Extazy” and “My Vile Venom” next to other rare songs and remixes… 

Before definitely taking the TAMTRUM plug off and stop its members’ self-destructive downward spiral, it’s with lots of pride that Alfa Matrix releases these French crazy fools’ last public cumshot… “The road will be dry without them, and my heart will be dry without them… these TAMTRUM dudes were a unique animation in the label’s family”, says Seba Dolimont, label manager at Alfa Matrix.

Two years further down the road and here we are with a second volume of the Alfa Matrix label roster covering what has to be the best synthpop band in pop history. Since 2008, a lot has happened in the Depeche Mode camp, tours, a new album and the band celebrating the 30th anniversary of the release of their first single. It’s all in the spirit of being a Depeche Mode fan, specifically reflected in the selection of the covered songs… 

Compiled by and for Depeche Mode fans, “Alfa Matrix Re:covered – a tribute to Depeche Mode vol.2” will offer you once more a very own insight in what makes the Depeche Mode songs so special. Enjoy these interpretations and re-discover the beauty of all those classic Depeche Mode songs re:covered by the Alfa Matrix stable offering a diverse sound panel going from synthpop, over old-school electro to melancholic electro rock.

Sylvicious, Benoit XVI and Fixhead dared to challenge the TAMTRUM sound and are now fucking ready for another infectious and shocking tour across Europe that will bring this new level of hi-energy and merciless aggressive-groovy assault to their summoned audiences. Remember that TAMTRUM is above all a live band bringing striptease shows and other weird and unpredictable liquid / fluo-chemical performances to stage, which only reinforces their brutal, uncompromising and decadent image.

The 2CD Slipcase deluxe edition is strictly limited to 666 copies with explicit stickers and on a bonus second cd: the recording in 6 acts of selected total reinterpretations of TAMTRUM’s new hits by Claus Larsen (LEAETHER STRIP/KLUTAE) in total freedom of musical speech. This is not a collaboration, this is a true electronic devastating rape by the master of electronic mayhem.
