Groupe<\/strong>: Of Mice & Men
\nAlbum<\/strong> : Defy
\nLabel<\/strong> : Rise Records
\nSortie le\u00a0<\/strong>: 19\/01\/2018
\nNote<\/strong>\u00a0:\u00a016\/20<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Apr\u00e8s la pluie vient le beau temps\u00a0\u00bb chantaient il y a moins de vingt-cinq ans les N\u00e9gresses vertes apr\u00e8s le d\u00e9c\u00e8s pr\u00e9matur\u00e9 de leur chanteur. \u00ab\u00a0Defy\u00a0\u00bb, r\u00e9pond en \u00e9cho lointain le titre du cinqui\u00e8me album des godelureaux Metalcore de Of Mice & Men, lesquels devaient en 1993 suivre les aventures de Barney le dinosaure, non celles d\u2019Helno et de Mellino. Les mots ont parfois un sens chez les artistes, et ce qui se con\u00e7oit bien s\u2019\u00e9nonce clairement \u00e0 la Boileau. Car, le jeune groupe a accumul\u00e9 les \u00e9preuves depuis la sortie de \u00ab\u00a0Cold World\u00a0\u00bb il y a quinze mois. Austin Carlile, leur chanteur depuis 2009, a jet\u00e9 l\u2019\u00e9ponge en d\u00e9cembre 2016, parti vivre au Costa Rica, pour des raisons sur lesquelles les quatre autres membres ont jet\u00e9 un voile pudique. Troubles psychiques tr\u00e8s probablement, lesquels avaient entra\u00een\u00e9 le groupe entier dans une sorte de neurasth\u00e9nie prolong\u00e9e. Sans compter le suicide de leur mentor en juillet 2017, l\u2019idole Nu Metal Chester Bennington. L\u2019atmosph\u00e8re et les th\u00e8mes d\u00e9velopp\u00e9s dans \u00ab\u00a0Cold World\u00a0\u00bb \u00e9taient on ne peut plus d\u00e9pressifs, Post Grunge\u00a0; \u00e0 l\u2019image du titre d\u2019ouverture, le tristounet et apathique \u00ab\u00a0Game of War\u00a0\u00bb. Priv\u00e9 de son acolyte d\u00e9missionnaire, le bassiste Aaron Pauley \u00e9tait laiss\u00e9 seul aux vocaux. Les quatre jeunots devaient r\u00e9agir. Of Mice & Men se sont replong\u00e9s dans leurs disques d\u2019ados (Slipknot, Slayer, Rage Against the Machine)\u00a0; ont achet\u00e9 ceux notre \u00e9poque (\u00ab Magma \u00bb de Gojira, \u00ab Hardwired\u2026 to Self-Destruct \u00bb de Metallica, \u00ab\u00a0Dig Deep\u00a0\u00bb d\u2019After the Burial, \u00ab The Rhapsody Tapes\u00a0\u00bb d\u2019Ocean Grove)\u00a0; et ont fait appel au producteur Howard Benson (Sepultura, P.O.D., My Chemical Romance, Apocalyptica, Santana\u2026).<\/p>\n

Surprise, \u00ab\u00a0Defy\u00a0\u00bb s\u2019av\u00e8re \u00eatre l\u2019exact contraire de \u00ab\u00a0Cold World\u00a0\u00bb.\u00a0Un disque contemporain, mais \u00e0 l\u2019aise dans ses baskets. Qui attaque sur les chapeaux de roue, avec un titre \u00e9ponyme lourd aux relents indus entra\u00eenants\u00a0; s\u2019ensuit l\u2019ent\u00eatant \u00ab\u00a0Instincts\u00a0\u00bb, dont le riff aigu fait penser au r\u00e9cent \u00ab Forward in Reverse \u00bb des Danois de Dizzy Mizz Lizzy (pure co\u00efncidence). Son tr\u00e8s Kirkhammettien solo est l\u2019un des meilleurs entendus ces derniers mois. Tout au fil de la galette, les vocaux sont soign\u00e9s\u00a0; les harmonies font parfois penser aux Foo Fighters\u2026 ainsi qu\u2019aux meilleurs moments des ann\u00e9es 2000-2010. \u00ab\u00a0Back to Me\u00a0\u00bb \u00e9voque Linkin Park, la principale influence des p\u2019tits gars\u00a0; le lancinant \u00ab\u00a0Unbreakable\u00a0\u00bb poss\u00e8de un Beat \u00e0 la RATM (voire \u00e0 la Slipknot)\u00a0; \u00ab\u00a0Vertigo\u00a0\u00bb est autant \u00e9pique qu\u2019\u00ab\u00a0On the Inside Up\u00a0\u00bb est lumineux et que \u00ab\u00a0Warzone\u00a0\u00bb est tonitruant. Autre preuve de culot, ils ont os\u00e9 reprendre le monticule \u00ab\u00a0Money\u00a0\u00bb du Flamand rose prog\u2019 (et m\u00eame de l\u2019\u00e9courter)\u2026 pour obtenir une r\u00e9ussite notable au Groove impeccable\u00a0: Of Mice & Men s\u2019est appropri\u00e9 ce classique du Rock sans le profaner\u00a0; \u00e0 n\u2019en point douter un des temps forts des sets de la tourn\u00e9e mondiale \u00e0 venir (en F\u00e9vrier prochain, avec d\u00e9tour \u00e0 Paris en avril). Le taciturne \u00ab\u00a0If We Were Ghosts\u00a0\u00bb conclut ce joli disque, un peu \u00e0 la mani\u00e8re d\u2019\u00ab\u00a0Over Now\u00a0\u00bb concluant \u00ab\u00a0Alice in Chains\u00a0\u00bb deux d\u00e9cennies auparavant\u00a0: une chanson mid-tempo triste, mais emplie d\u2019espoir.<\/p>\n

Of Mice & r\u00e9ussit le pari (non, pas \u00e9crire \u00ab\u00a0le D\u00e9fi\u00a0\u00bb, c\u2019est t\u00e9l\u00e9phon\u00e9\u2026) de rassembler le meilleur de son genre, et de nous le d\u00e9livrer de la fa\u00e7on la plus positive qui soit. Soit l\u2019exact antipode de leur pr\u00e9c\u00e9dente livraison. Un peu \u00e0 l\u2019instar du dernier \u00ab\u00a0Lilith\u00a0\u00bb des Butcher Babies c\u2019est le mot \u00ab\u00a0color\u00e9\u00a0\u00bb qui revient assez souvent \u00e0 l\u2019esprit. \u00ab\u00a0Defy\u00a0\u00bb s\u2019av\u00e8re, de plus, \u00eatre un album vari\u00e9 mais homog\u00e8ne. Aucun titre en de\u00e7\u00e0 des autres n\u2019est \u00e0 signaler\u00a0; et la gentille pression des Californiens ne retombe pas tout au long de ces douze titres. Pour des raisons tant humaines qu\u2019artistiques, Valentino Arteaga, Alan Ashby, Phil Manansala et Aaron Pauley ont fait preuve de caract\u00e8re et de maturit\u00e9. Bravo les mecs. \u00ab\u00a0Defy\u00a0\u00bb est \u00e0 recommander \u00e0 celles et ceux qui affectionnent le Metalcore\u00a0; ainsi qu\u2019aux autres, celles et ceux qui aiment les histoires tristes sachant finir.<\/p>\n
