Forty years after its original release, Larmes de Héros, a landmark of French heavy metal, is reborn under the title Larmes des Héros. Behind this mythical album stands Sortilège, an iconic band from the 1980s metal scene, renowned for its explosive energy, sharp riffs, and the powerful voice of Christian “Zouille” Augustin. Considered one of the pioneers of the genre in France, the band has left a lasting mark on French rock history and continues to influence many artists today.
From the opening track, “La Hargne des Tordus,” Sortilège establishes its signature sound: razor-sharp guitars, unforgettable melodies, and impactful lyrics. From the epic “Chasse le Dragon” to the emotional “Quand un Aveugle Rêve,” through the raw power of “Marchand d’Hommes” and the relentless efficiency of “Messager,” the classics flow one after another with no downtime, culminating in the grand finale “La Huitième Couleur de l’Arc-en-ciel.”
Enhanced by a modern and powerful production, this re-recording by the current lineup of Sortilège elevates the nine original tracks. Driven by a more mature and intense interpretation than ever before, this reimagining of a masterpiece stands as an essential release, both for longtime fans and for a new generation.
