Krystal System

industrial

Once upon a time on a cold and rainy day, two French artists from Paris suddenly realised that life was too short. The day after, they created Krystal System and started making songs, shooting videos while making some concerts in France and switzerland. Their first video clip Slice won the International Cravefest Video Awards and, the same year they signed with the electro label Alfa Matrix (Front 242, Arya...).They released their debut album Underground in 2009. The band's alchemy results with an eclectic and boosted combination of music genres ranging from elektro, indie rock, cold wave and metal. All these influences are mixed with Bonnie’s juvenile and provocative vocals (in English and French) tempered by the warm male vocal of N°7. As soon as released, Krystal System's Underground entered the Deutsch Alternative Charts. It stayed 9 weeks and reached the 4th place. During this time, the album was one of the most played by German DJ. It also got numerous and great reviews in European press, mostly in Germany, UK, Italy and France. The acclaimed reactions to their debut album incited the band and their Belgian label to release a 7 tracks EP called VooDoo Nights sessions. The tracks from Underground that used to be on the DJ's playlists are remixed and completely revisited by the band. The EP has been launched recently... _________________________ Krystal System propose un mélange original de metal, d'electro et de grunge. Les puissants riffs guitares joués par la chanteuse Bonnie se mélangent aux synthés mélodiques ou indus de N°7 (clavier/sampler/platine dans le groupe). Rapidement, Krystal System se fait remarquer en gagnant l'International Cravefest Video Award en 2007 et en faisant quelques concerts à Paris (à la Locomotive) et en Suisse. Cette même année, le groupe signe avec le label Alfa Matrix (Front 242, Unter Null, Leæther Strip...) et sort en décembre 2008 son 1er album Underground. Dés sa sortie, l'album entre dans le top 10 des charts alternatifs allemands et grimpe rapidement à la 4ème place (dépassant the Cure). La presse magazine et Web en fait des chroniques très élogieuses (voir extraits). - ...Impeccablement produit... Une bombe de 1er album qui place Krystal System à la pointe de l'electro hexagonale...
