LUCIE CRIES - Res Non Verba 1993

Lucie Cries is a gothic rock band from Mouy, France, that formed in 1988 and broke up in 1996. Useless info: "When contrasted against the background of the end of the uneasy decade that the French 80s' cold-wave scene had gone through, Olivier (vocals & bass) stands as a benchmark. Echoing its agony in a barely perceptible moaning, cold-wave sounded to slowly die out. His strong independence, his integrity in art and his unsensible pugnacity must be praised. With his band Lucie Cries; Frédéric (guitars) & Marc (drums), but also through his label Alea Jacta Est – that stands nearly alone as an islet of resistance and promotion of a scene scorned and despised (or ignored at best) by most of the media, and consequently of an audience that had shrunk more and more, he proved he was determined. Against all expectations he chose to carry on the torch of a declining and clinically dead movement. For a few years and despite their noble fight was doomed to failure, Olivier Pacaud and his band resisted and kept up the flame and rage as much as they could. They released their own productions that were real a commercial suicide, for a ''dark'' sparse audience that was soon to lose its interest for ''old-school'' bands and eager to turn to the awakening German ''dark wave'' that promoted nothing more than a fashionable vampire outlook. - "Res Non Verba" is the debut record and touches your heart & soul deeply with its neverending echoing and ravishing call of the muse take over!"
