This was the Trust’s third release and the first with a version recorded in English. The band was helped in the translation by Jimmy Pursey, from the punk band UK Subs.
I’m sure most people will be aware of the track Antisocial, which was released as a single in the UK and did quite well. The track was also covered by Anthrax on their State Of Euphoria album. Killer band both on record and live, they also supported Iron Maiden and AC/DC, whom Bernie (the singer) had a great friendship with Bon Scott. This and Marche Ou Creve are my favourite albums, mainly because of the great hooky songs and guitarist Nono’s superb riffs and guitar tone. Political statement is the main focus of the band’s lyrics and they were considered as heroes in France. Released in 1980 this is a kick ass record that I still play regularly today. Favourite tracks, and there are a few, Death Instinct has a killer riff and grove, Sects which is one of the best songs the band ever did IMHO with a killer uptempo groove and max riffage, and the close out track sung in French Le Mitarda, I just love the repeating riff. The band called it a day in ’85 only to return in the 2000’s and there are a couple of live dvd’s out there that if you see them grab them. Great record!!!
9.5/10 from The Grooveman.
