We received this new review (9/10!) of our album Le Coeur Bat (whose success is far beyond us, we must admit), it is so funny, music loving and full of punchlines that we absolutely love it!

New Review from The Razor’s Edge for “Le Cœur Bat”
“To be honest, I had no idea what to expect when I pressed play and I’m still none the wiser having listened to the French extreme music collective who hide behind a wall of anonymity. Their music is surreal, full of angular, jagged edges, electronica, and blast beats, there is an underlying frenetic feel which is infectious; the heart rate elevates throughout the dramatic and bemusing structures, the polyphonic writing and random time signatures throwing all convention aside.”

A new 8/10 review from Metalitalia.com for Le Cœur Bat
“Sembrerebbe la descrizione di un polpettone indigesto, ma in realtà tutto scorre in modo fluido, guidandoci in un affascinante viaggio attraverso percorsi sonori inesplorati e, anzi, mostra anche una discreta accessibilità all’ascolto: selvaggia eleganza, così si potrebbe definire, ma si potrebbe utilizzare una sfilza di altri ossimori. Incredibile la varietà a livello vocale: voci maschili, femminili, urlate, sussurrate fanno da contraltare a distorsioni, suoni sintetici, esplosioni, effetti. Ogni pezzo ha un suo mood caratteristico, ma a colpire in maniera particolare è la titletrack che, nei suoi venticinque minuti, contiene materiale con cui si sarebbe potuto comporre un album intero. “

New review in german for Le Cœur Bat
Die zumeist mit Luzifer und seiner Auflehnung gegen Gott assoziierte Phrase „non serviam“ wird von vielen Künstler*innen als Ausdruck ultimativen Rebellentums verwendet. Kaum eine Band verkörpert diesen Kampfbegriff der Selbstbestimmung jedoch auf so vielschichtige Weise wie die gleichnamige Musikgruppe aus Frankreich. Nicht nur versteht sich das ehemalige Soloprojekt eines anonymen Multi-Instrumentalisten als anarchistisch, anti-moralisch und anti-religiös, auch musikalisch lassen NON SERVIAM sich keinerlei Regeln auferlegen. Hinter der prunkvollen Barock-Ästhetik ihres 69 Minuten langen Albums „Le Cœur Bat“ verbirgt sich ein wahnwitziger Mix aus Black Metal, Doom Metal, Crust Punk, Industrial, Trip-Hop und Shoegaze, der selbst vor den Grenzen des guten Geschmacks keinen Halt macht.

A beautiful 9/10 review for Le Cœur Bat
(code666) Vanno oltre il noise, l’elettronica o qualsivoglia modernità i francesi Non Serviam, entità fuoriuscita da stati di instabilità mentale agli inizi del decennio scorso come progetto solista, poi cresciuta, con vari musicisti coinvolti, tuttavia ancora avvolta nel più fitto mistero. Elettronica e rumore. Chitarre e ritmi. Drum machine forsennata. Suoni e melodie malate. Tra Godflesh e Prodigy, tra digitale e umano, tra sovrannaturale ed abominio. Maledettamente teatrali. Voci di ogni tipo: maschili, femminili, demoniache, sintetiche. Strumenti fisici o elettronici di ogni sorta, compresi clavicembalo, spinette e organi. Un viaggio atmosferico suggestivo, un impatto sonoro devastante, un’oscurità avvolgente. Musica convulsiva. Musica nervosa. Suoni instabili. Emerge synth wave, black metal, dark rock, electro wave, industrial spinto alla follia, folk violentato in una assurdità lasciva con una decadenza circense. Brani che durano dai due ai venticinque minuti, con l’eccesso di una cover industrial black metal estremo di “Inno Individualista”, il pezzo folk anarchico italiano dell’inizio del secolo scorso. Musica ai confini della musica. Violenza inaudita con iniezioni di poesia brillante. Suoni ai limiti della coerenza. Stabilità mentale brutalmente minata. Un’esperienza auditiva trasudante ansia: pericoloso abbandonarsi a queste sonorità in uno stato mentale cosciente, ancor più pericoloso affrontare l’opera in una condizione di alterazione psichica di origine chimica. Geniale!

Listen to NON SERVIAM “Se Rapprocher de l’Emploi” on CVLT Nation
If you don’t know, you’re going to know that Non Serviam is one of the most creative groups to come out of the underground in a very long time. This group defies sound and creates music that has no boundaries! As I listen to their music I get chills because their music gets deeper under my skin and travels to unknown parts of my soul! Their new EP Work comes out on May 1st via Trepanation Recordings and today we are premiering their song “Se Rapprocher de l’Emploi” below. To me, Non Serviam represents the freedom and unity that we should all have in our lives especially when it comes to creativity or humanity itself! Their album Le Cœur Bat comes out on April 23rd via Code666 and can be ordered HERE! I send nothing but love and honor to Non Serviam for manifesting sonics with the power to FREE MINDS!
Listen to the track on CVLT Nation.

New review in spanish (8/10)
Los que se topen con él verán a Le Cœur Bat como uno de los descubrimientos experimentales más insanos, putrefactos y nauseabundos de todo el año.
Some words from the press on our upcoming album “Le Cœur Bat” available for preorder on our bandcamp page :
« Non Serviam from Paris is one of the sickest bands in the world, not only because they create music without form but also the fact they are not willing to conform. The band’s full length Le Cœur Bat is otherworldly awesome and creates sonic portals to new planes of existence. »
Sean Reveron, CVLT Nation (Canada) – #7 Top 10 AVANT GARDE Albums of 2020
« Whether new or old guard, the despondency to follow the rule of the letter makes ‘Le Coeur Bat’ essential entropic listening. Drenched in neurodiversity, this release is the spectral cross-pollination of extreme noise, eclectic electronica, investigational raw black metal and psychosis-inducing doomed sludge. Think outside the square you live in. »
Alex Logan, Insert Review Here (Australia)
« Non Serviam is a project from Paris that you will never see, but you must hear. They manifest sounds that I’ve never heard before and do it in a way that is pure magic. I could go on and on about how this band shape-shifts genres, but I think you really need to hear them for yourself. »
Sean Reveron, CVLT Nation (Canada) – #7 Top 10 AVANT GARDE Albums of 2020
« Their style is uncommon, experimental, and savage. NON SERVIAM knows exactly how to blend industrial, black metal, grindcore, baroque, doom, crust, etc. – and make it sound interesting. »
Svetlana Likhacheva, The Independent Voice (USA)
« It’s been a long time since an extreme music track intrigued me this much. The cascading waves of heaviness, the guttural, almost vomit-like vocals, the well-incorporated electronic elements. Highly recommended. »
