Schismatique Destruction

Schismatique Destruction were a french trio who was active from 1996 to 2000. The band was formed by three people who were making some noisy minimal dark wave songs. Lyrics are very dark and deeply depressed with a lot of black humour. Members were Guillaume and Smoothy, the singer and the keyboardist both previously in Le M, a New Wave duo and Monsieur Jean-Pierre on guitar who also do music under the alias Kalachnikov since the early 90s. Monsieur Jean-Pierre and GM met during a training session for unemployed artists. The band follow a concept called the Blitz : The music is principally improvised when lyrics are written in a very short time. It's a concept already used by GM and Smoothy when they were drawing together and in their previous band. They released only one tape in 1997 distributed by KAP, the Kalachnikov tape label at the time and songs in a compilation "At home with you" also by KAP. They've split two times. At the end the project SD become Section Morne who follows an other dogma. The sound of Section Morne is really repetitive with heavy bass and guitars riff and deep lyrics. The band definitely stop in 2001. A repress of the first album, digitaly remastered was done by Fougère Cassette in november 2013. The second one was never released it was issued by Fougère cassette in late 2014.
