DIEU (French for "God") humbly came into existence when MINIONS split up. Something felt off after failing to record our first demo. We tried a new configuration with JC AlienSeeD on "lead bass" with the addition of another bass player, Alexis from GRAND CERF. Shortly after, JC left the band (and music altogether) for good, leaving Alexis, Tristan on drums and I (still on keyboards/samplers) scratching our collective heads. Around the same time, I'd been kicking in the idea of doing something with an old friend from work, Philippe, who was working as a sound engineer for a French TV channel I was working at as well. I knew he was into Magma and prog stuff and a very talented guitar player too. We rehearsed a few times the four of us, then Tristan was out of the band. We decided to keep going, using drum samples instead.
I'm really happy with the resulting demo, which was built from song ideas I'd come up with, mainly using samples or keyboard leads, spiked up with the weirdest ideas and the amazing talent that Philippe and Alexis brought to the project. |
