About Me

"Born Again". Voilà un disque qui porte bien son nom. En 2005, peu après la sortie de ‘‘Affliction, endocrine... vertigo’’, album résumant d'une manière assez éloquente trois années d'existence bouillonnante et de tâtonnements, les membres d'OVERMARS avaient annoncés leur désir d'enregistrer un disque sous forme d'un morceau fleuve de 30 ou 40 minutes. A cette époque, ils étaient loin d'imaginer qu'ils s'embarquaient dans une aventure aussi laborieuse qu'interminable. En soit, la notion de liberté de création est terrifiante : quand elle est (quasi) totale, le champs des possibles est aussi illimité qu'innombrables sont les occasions de se perdre. La liberté a son prix à payer : les erreurs, les fausses pistes, les égarements, les impasses. Mais elle sait aussi récompenser les plus courageux qui au bout du chemin ont finis par trouver matière à se recomposer.Deux ans plus tard, alors que plus personne n'attend vraiment ce morceau, "Born Again" atterrit entre nos oreilles blasées et surprend par sa capacité à "être du Overmars" tout en étant bien plus. Ce morceau est né dans la douleur. Pour s'enfoncer dans le cliché, on ajouterais volontiers que "ça s'entend" sur le disque. Peu importe que cela relève ou pas du fantasme, le fait est qu'OVERMARS simule très bien cette douleur.D'où nous vient cette sensation ? Peut-être des influences "Black Metal expérimental" jusque-là sous-jascentes et que le groupe se décide enfin à assumer ? Peut-être de la production de Nicolas Dick (Kill The Thrill) qui a su donner au son du groupe une authentique couleur "Indus contemporaine" ? Peut-être de la mixité des voix, des plaintes et des hurlements qui, telles les nombreuses couches de guitares, se superposent et s'entremêlent pour accoucher d'une texture sonore quasi... incommodante ? Peut-être."Born Again", donc. Une seconde naissance. Nous n'en demandions pas tant. Mais peut-être qu'à l'heure où les groupes "Post-Neurosisiens" (sans parler des pâles clones de Cult Of Luna) fleurissent par dizaine dans toutes les villes avec dix ans de retard, il était temps pour eux de prendre une décisive longueur d'avance.Fabien Thévenot

Sounds Like: Finally got to check out "born again." Simply incredible. rebirth of Swans!!! I absolutely love it. Perfect slab of music. The vocal attack is superb. You all did tremendous work. I can not wait until the actual release is available!! This will be my favorite release of the year. I don't think anything will top it.Great recording. The instrumentation is perfect: all the background detailing and texture, the builds and crashes. The tones are nice and warm.Marion's section at the front end of the track is amazing. It's a great, trance inducing section of music. Your heavy vocals that come after the long section Marion does are complete neanderthal! The vocal layers that follow the slow, pounding rhythm are feral, too.The ambient touches around 18 mins with the heart-beat like pulse is nice. Love the way the bass creeps in. Has the old Venom tone. The guitar interplay with the electronics during the long, methodical building process is spot on. The next vocal section is utterly downtrodden - perfect for the music which has sort of a Neurosis/souls at zero being dismantled feel.Around 26 mins there's the return of the neanderthal vocals! The music has a real elastic quality here with the slow drum count, the jangly guitars and the flopping bass string tone.Nothing but high praise from me on this song!!!
