DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS
Date of release: May 23 2025
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to (finally!) present the unexpected second album of the ANIMALIZE frenchies, Verminateur, on CD and vinyl LP formats. At last, the second wind of youth is blowing for 'French Heavy Metal' – and, to be honest, not a moment too soon. It took just over 40 years for France to finally have its own heavy shockrock band, ANIMALIZE: a name you may already have seen on some French and German lineup events over the last four years. 'Who do these extroverts think they are, sporting outrageous outfits with harnesses and chains? Brandishing a chainsaw and a katana in the middle of a concert, then vomiting blood all over the audience? Really?!' Yes, really. Year 2025. ANIMALIZE are back with a new full-length, Verminateur – but this time, entirely in French, at the request of maniacs since their first record, 2020’s Tales From the Crypt EP. If their Meat We’re Made Of debut album in 2022 showed the visible part of the iceberg, then Verminateur displays the true sound of the band, pushing the boundaries! That celebrated first full-length might’ve seen the band evince a sort of restless genius – speed metal synthesized with power-thrash and traditional metal into a dizzying-yet-addicting blend, jumping across countries and even continents with insane ease – but on Verminateur, ANIMALIZE lock into a lazer-sighted focus that sees them making good on the anthemic side of things they only hinted at before. Mostly mid-tempo, strutting and cruising with charisma, nearly all of the album’s ten tracks (barring a one-minute synthy & cinematic 'Invasion' and the dramatic piano piece 'Prière de Remords') hit that heavenly balance between buoyant hook and heavy thrust, between rock-god maximalism and back-street mischief. It’d not be inaccurate to say some of the tracks could’ve been on MTV circa 1985…if that channel aired in France. And when ANIMALIZE wanna rip forth in speed metal mode, they do so with a streamlined power that’s a marvel to behold. Oh, and the all-French lyrics simply make Verminateur that much more sublime, surprising, and above all unique. For he is the earth cancer eliminator. He is the VERMINATEUR! Because the vermin is YOU. To coincide with the release of ANIMALIZE’s Verminateur, DYING VICTIMS will be reissuing Meat We’re Made Of. Taste the New Wave of French Heavy Metal…again!
