Founded in January 2001 in Rauen, France by guitarist/vocalist "El Worm" and bassist Romain, after their previous bands split. WORMFOOD decided to take a new approach on the black metal scene. After a few months of throwing around ideas they band went into the studio and recorded their first demo. Self-released in May 2001, the demo caught the attention of not only the public but also of the talented drummer Alexis Damien. Now a fully established trio, they set to work on a new album. After a few months of hard work, the album was recorded in July 2002, entitled Eponym. Not so long after the release, the band introduced Tim Zecovic on keys. Almost a year later the band played their first gig in Rouen, France; with a unique stage presence the band of WORMFOOD made its mark on their hometown. Seeing the effect the band made on the scene they decided to take things further; sitting down to embark on a new adventure in the music world, the band began writing their most complex, imaginative work so far. Taking the entire summer of 2004 at Walnut Grove Studios with Axel Wursaltern (Carnival Of Coal) who puts in an extra 100% into the production of the album. They released their promo album Jeux d'Enfants. Hypnotizing the peeps down at code666 Records, the band landed themselves a recording deal with the legendary underground metal label. Now having a top-notch recording contract, the band spent several long months reworking their already amazing promo release, into an expanded and improved version entitled France.

This is the most interesting intro I have ever heard! Track1 Leçon de Français/French Lesson, starts off exactly the way it says: a French lesson. Giving you the French translation of On The Streets Of France, moving to a drunkard vomiting and yelling at passers-by, presumably on the streets of France. Interestingly disgusting! Later moving into a punk fused death metal track entitled Bum Fight (track 2) accented by an accordion-like instrument (very Finntroll-ish) later to take an electronic sound towards the end of the song that is a lot of styles for just one track! Track 3 Ecce Homo takes on a more black metal style and switches over from French to English through the track, accented by harpsichords and searing guitars. This album is defiantly hard to choose a favourite track as all the tracks are equally original in their various genres. WORMFOOD are masters of the art, taking elements from black, death, gothic rock, punk rock, pop rock, classical, baroque, jazz, and mixing it with dark humour. An entirely original, unique, and imaginative piece of musical genious WORMFOOD’s France is an interesting find and I suggest everyone - no matter what style music you like - listen to this album. I know I have used original a lot in this review, but that’s all I can think of to describe this genius masterwork.
