Alors \u00e9videmment, on ne sait pas \u00e0 quoi s&rsquo;attendre avant d&rsquo;\u00e9couter Blackstone pour la premi\u00e8re fois, ce nouveau projet initi\u00e9 par Marc Varez, plus connu sous nos contr\u00e9es comme le batteur de Vulcain (rien \u00e0 voir musicalement avec ce qui nous est propos\u00e9 ici). Quel soulagement une fois les premi\u00e8res notes pass\u00e9es. Allez, ne gardons pas le suspense plus longtemps, c&rsquo;est un excellent disque de stoner, et un superbe disque tout court. Tout commence merveilleusement avec la combinaison &lsquo;Are You Ready&rsquo;\/&rsquo;I Love Her&rsquo;, deux morceaux hyper heavy, s&rsquo;appuyant sur des riffs \u00e9normes. Au bout de deux ou trois chansons, on commence en fait \u00e0 comprendre le fondement de tout \u00e7a : de par leur position de pr\u00e9curseurs du stoner en France, ils ont fait le meilleur des choix dans leur approche de la musique, c&rsquo;est-\u00e0-dire qu&rsquo;ils ont choisi de repartir aux bases du stoner, aux racines du genre m\u00eame, c&rsquo;est \u00e0 dire avant tout aux premiers Black Sabbath, mais aussi, et ce n&rsquo;est pas du tout \u00e0 n\u00e9gliger, aux vrais pr\u00e9curseurs du genre tels que Masters Of Reality. On retrouve donc des relents du groupe de Chris Goss sur certains morceaux, et ce n&rsquo;est pas pour nous d\u00e9plaire ! On tombe aussi parfois sur des morceaux aux influences blues prononc\u00e9es (je ne parle pas du ghost track, tendance country !). Le morceau titre &lsquo;Blackstone&rsquo; n&rsquo;est pas sans rappeler le Danzig des d\u00e9buts (!), tout comme &lsquo;Erotic Theater&rsquo;, c&rsquo;est dire la vari\u00e9t\u00e9 de genres musicaux et d&rsquo;influences brass\u00e9s sur ce disque. Et le plus fort c&rsquo;est que le tout reste excellent, brillant \u00e0 plus d&rsquo;un titre. Compl\u00e8tement d\u00e9complex\u00e9, le groupe se lance dans des passages audacieux de claviers, d&rsquo;harmonica, de voies orientales (influences orientales tr\u00e8s prononc\u00e9es sur plusieurs morceaux, encore une exp\u00e9rimentation in\u00e9dite plus que r\u00e9ussie !), etc, le tout s&rsquo;incorporant magnifiquement aux chansons, et servi avec efficacit\u00e9 par une production \u00e9norme. Les musiciens, d&rsquo;illustres inconnus jusqu&rsquo;ici, sont excellents, sans parler de ce tr\u00e8s bon chanteur, Ian Kent, \u00e0 la voix tour \u00e0 tour chaude et rocailleuse, bluesy ou heavy. Bref, inutile de tergiverser, il s&rsquo;agit d&rsquo;un disque \u00e0 se procurer imm\u00e9diatement. Ne le faites pas pour le mauvais pr\u00e9texte qu&rsquo;il faut &lsquo;soutenir les groupes fran\u00e7ais&rsquo;, mais simplement parce qu&rsquo;il s&rsquo;agit d&rsquo;un des tous meilleurs albums du genre, tout simplement, tous pays confondus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ca alors, c&rsquo;est pas commun : un groupe fran\u00e7ais qui se revendique &lsquo;stoner&rsquo;, \u00e7a court pas les rues !
