Larmes De Heros

RELICS FROM THE CRYPT, the sub-label of DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS dedicated to keeping the past alive, is proud to present a long-overdue vinyl reissue of the classic second album of Frances SORTILEGE, Larmes de heros. A cult fixture in the 80s French heavy metal scene that retroactively grew in legendary, SORTILEGE defined a unique national style that had equal footing in the NWOBHM, contemporaneous hard rock, and nascent epic metal. Formed in 1981 and releasing a demo and EP over the new two years, it was SORTILEGEs 1984 debut album, Mtamorphose - also concurrently released in an English-language version as Metamorphosis - that truly introduced the band to worldwide audiences with a wild n weird iteration of heavy metal. While that English version made their unique style more palatable (helped in no small part by its release on Steamhammer), its arguably the French-language version that defined the SORTILEGE sound. And so it went with its superior follow-up.
