LA RECENSIONE

Friends of the Debaser staff, please, hurry up! This review is urgent! The new Fantomas album has just come out, but it "expires" at the end of the month!
In fact, our favorite madman, Mike Patton, cleverly (??) composed about thirty new dazzling acrobatic pieces to match only the days of this month. The CD packaging is nothing more than a calendar drawn day by day, complete with (in some cases improbable and hilarious) anniversaries... For example, April 6th is "plan your epitaph day"...Of course...). And, as if the chaos created by the 4 Fantomas wasn't enough (a must-see in concert at least once in a lifetime, guaranteed!), the voices of cartoon characters also arrive to... lend a hand.

Recommended: for those who know who the Fantomas are, and know they are acrobats! And for those who are passionate about oriental comics, the calendar will win them over.
Not recommended: for those who have a traditional idea of hardcore in their heads...

Summary by Bot

Fantômas' 'Suspended Animation' is a unique and ambitious album structured as a monthly calendar with 30 explosive tracks. Mike Patton and the band deliver chaotic, acrobatic music, enhanced by witty cartoon voices. The packaging complements the album with daily humorous and strange anniversaries. A must-listen for fans of experimental and avant-garde metal, but not for traditional hardcore enthusiasts.

 Suspended Animation: the soundtrack of a nursery for the children of criminally insane parents.

 The point is to portray madness, schizophrenia, each time in a different context.
