Loudblast


Loudblast is a death/thrash band that pioneered the genres in France, and one of the most important French metal bands of the 1990s.
The band began in 1986 in the northern city of Lille. Its first recording was a split CD with the Nice-based band Agressor. They have released seven albums on the record labels Semetary/Fnac, Metal13, and Listenable. They began playing thrash metal influenced by the classic American bands such as Slayer. In 1991, they recorded the album "Disincarnate" in Morrisound Recording studios in Tampa, Florida, and the result was a pure death metal album. In the late 1990s, they incorporated more melody and groove in their music while maintaining a thrash/death aesthetic.
The band announced that they were splitting in 1999, but after a support concert to Death's late frontman Chuck Schuldiner in 2000, the band reformed with Agressor's Alex Colin-Tocquaine and released Planet Pandemonium in 2002. After a few years hiatus, Stéphane and Hervé announced in November 2009 a new line-up including Alex Lenormand and Drakhian.
In February 2017, Jérôme Point-Canovas replaced Drakhian as the band's guitarist during the "Sublime Dementia Tour", and he was officialised as permanent member in May.
The band's latest album, Manifesto, is expected to be released in November 2020.
