Cyber-punk band Notre-Dame of Tokyo have released their debut album ‘Weightlessness’.
The 10-track LP merges a Rage Against The Machine-style riffs, Muse-influenced vocals, Nine Inch Nails-dynamics, all with a sense of ambition and energy that marks Notre-Dame of Tokyo out as one of the most exciting and compelling metal acts on the scene.
The project is the culmination of Antwan and his brother Adrien leaving their hometown of Agen in the south of France to pursue their musical dreams.
While leaving Agen was set in stone, the pair were unsure of where to head, so they literally tossed a coin to decide.
Paris - gone. Stockholm - gone. Berlin v London. One more toss. London won.
Did it matter they couldn’t speak English? No. Did it matter they didn’t have jobs? No.
They turned up in London, and did the only thing that made sense. They partied. They threw themselves into music. They absorbed all that great city has to offer.
“We came to London to find a singer, but that didn’t work out, so I stepped up,” says Antwan, who couldn’t even speak English a few years ago but now chucks out twisted, clever lyrics about the darker side of life that Charles Bukowski would raise his glass to.
The duo are already renowned for their live shows. Check out their video for 2021 single ‘X or Y’ to see just how much they connect with the crowd.
