Sauce Elek’tric continues its formidable work of disseminating punk, hardcore and metal music, with a new evening at Kraken. And as its founder-president-one-man orchestra Jérém’ noted, this even makes 10 ans just barely – more than 40 events! – that the local association was created… An anniversary celebrated without fanfare – “we are preparing a party for you in January 2025…” – but with big guitar riffs, deafening bass lines and banging drums !

A Manche group…

Indeed, the bar on rue des Fossés, in the pedestrian streets of Cherbourg, is hosting no less than three concerts this Saturday November 9 2024, from 9 p.m. Don’t Disturb The Trolls will perform their very first live performance for the occasion. It is a blackened death metal band founded in 2023 by Cédric Ducastel (vocals and guitar), Christophe Gisle (bass) and Philippe Loiseau (drums).

We are from Cherbourg and Saint-Lô. Our music combines the aggressiveness of death metal, drawing inspiration from bands such as Behemoth, Amon Amarth, Death, Nile and Benighted, with the dark atmosphere of black metal, influenced by bands like Emperor, Enslaved, Mgła, Penitence Dreamlike and Watch Men Fall, to name but a few.

And the trio, who have been rehearsing for months, specify: “The lyrics reflect the resistance of Mother Earth in the face of an ever more destructive humanity, denouncing the hypocrisy and violence inherent in humankind. The imagery of the troll embodies the five elements of Nature, symbols of its power and its anger, ready to restore the threatened balance. »

… before two Breton teams

A whole program, before continuing with Devil’s Rectum (we’ll leave the translation to you…), a group from Loire-Atlantique and Ille-et-Vilaine. “It’s a group with multiple influences, which has existed for nine years (including the first six years under the name Anomaly) and which does not care about labels, defining its music as zarb punk’n’roll corewarn the organizers. Composed of musicians from different bands in the DIY scene like Ersatz (crust punk), Casseurs (d-beat punk), guitarist-singer Oliver who had a multitude of groups like The Last Fucking Delight and Les Maux de la Rue (anarchcordeon punk), as well as Sonji, American singer with a hell of a panel behind her in France and the United States, suffice to say that it’s a severe blow to the Kraken! »

Finally, the third and last guest group is called Watt Ze Punk. Formed in October 2022, it comes to us from Rennes. “Their sound oscillates between punk-rock, punk-hardcore and ska-punk.» This evening at Kraken will be the opportunity to discover live their first EP entitled Out of phase and released in October 2024.

Saturday November 9 from 9 p.m., at Kraken, rue des Fossés in Cherbourg. Entrance: €5.
