When Vlad was released from the Ottomans, He wandered around the bordering parts of Wallachia for eight years looking for support. It is known that during this time, he contacted his cousin Stephen the Great of Moldavia, who would help him in the future against the Turks when the latter became voivode of his country. He also learned various politico-military tactics.

Vlad eventually made it to Hungaria and was at the court of John Hunyadi, who, impressed by his knowledge of the Turks and his hatred of the Turkish Sultan Mehmed II, made Vlad defender of Transylvania with headquarters at Sibiu. In 1456, Hunyadi invaded Serbia, while Vlad simultaneously invaded Wallachia. He led his army through the Carpathians in June and by the end of July, Vladislav Danesti was killed in battle. According to legend, he was hacked to death in a hand-to-hand combat with Vlad Dracula. On August 22, 1456, Vlad was ruler in Tirgoviste.

The first thing he did when he took power was to take revenge on the murderers of his family. Early in his reign, he gave a feast for his boyars and their families to celebrate Easter. Since many of them had taken part in the conspiracy that led to the deaths of his father and elder brother, Vlad asked them how many voivodes had ruled during their lifetimes. All of the nobles said they had outlived several voivodes. The older boyars and their families were impaled on the spot, while the younger and healthier boyars were enslaved and forced to labor for months building Poenari Castle. Very few of them survived the ordeal.

One boyar, Albu cel Mare, was over-mighty and arrogant. He took the villages of Glodul and Hintea by force, and devastated the monastery of Govora. Vlad had him and his allies and relations, including small children, impaled. Of the 13 names of the boyars of the council of April 16, 1457, only 2 remained in February 10, 1461.

Our song opens with Vlad's 8 year journey.

New day, a war state, I’m ruling,
rulers change rules,
some clean house…

I played the enemy against each other so well
I have regained the Wallachian throne

complaints, protests from noblemen will be addressed
as well as loyalty

Then there’s that unending price
for the murder of my brother buried alive

I’ll invite them to feast at my table
What better day than Easter to take it to the next level

Now that I have them gathered around
I’ll ask a simple question
“How do you account in your land for so many princes, they come and
go and come and go and..”

They sit there with their arrogance
I’ll tell you why
Greed, intrigue, corruption

I’ll crush their nobility
They are all my future traitors
They know it and I know it

Lets talk about something we haven’t talked about……chains
Guards will wrap chains around those
Who didn’t take me seriously
“Guards, get them outta my sight”

Those who feasted, drank my wine
Will work for the kingdom
‘til they’re worn down and die

200 who are able
will help me rebuild the fortress
in the distance, you see it in the sky

Those not able
Will have blood runnin’ down wood
in the distance, you see bodies
hanging in the sky
I like it

---------------

I heard this story a long time ago
i heard it before, and now i am long gone

I faced my demons and now i'm back strong
not headstrong, at some point i was wrong

butterfingers, we lost control
we slipped away and run away

i cross my fingers, we won't mess it up 
again this time, i hope you'll be fine

you were so sloppy and gave it up
i hope you remember, that i was your crutch

next thing you know, was to lose control
and now you crawl, to save your soul

lyrics:
Another day goes by
another war inside my head

another trace of fear
but i never won't give in

Another night passed by
another midnight washed my sins

but i will face the day
no i never won't look grim


You said go and face your demons
don't let another day get wasted!

Death is the enemy, Death is the enemy oHhhh Ohhhh Ohhhh
Death is the enemy, Death is the enemy oHhhh Ohhhh Ohhhh
Death is the enemy, Death is the enemy oHhhh Ohhhh Ohhhh


Another year goes by
another book of memories 

and time doesn't wait
doesn't wait for no one

and don't you look away
you have to stand on your own feet

no matter what will come
you have to get your shit together


fight the good fight
fight the good fight

Death is the enemy

Explicit lyrics:
I think i had too much last night
i got shitfaced but nothing learned

Another lesson for trying to avoid reality
another trip into the dark insanity

The devil is a bottle and it's rotten to the core
Bring the fckn bottle, until i reach the "shore"
Listen UP everyone i got news for you
Bring this fckn bottle, and no one's gonna, no one's gonna, no one's gonna get harmed!

i think this headache don't wanna leave me
i got shitfaced but nothing learned

The Devil is a Bottle

After two remarkable EPs on the Dutch label Enfant Terrible (2019 and 2020), one on Switzerland’s Lux Rec (2020), several tracks on various compilations and around sixty concerts all over Europe, the Parisian duo Leroy Se Meurt now offers an updated version of his electronic punk, for the first time in long format, on the Berlin label Mannequin Records.
This first album, named Voué à Rouiller, sees the band improve its existing formula, while exploding its own shackles.

Their EBM, post-punk, electro remains, but the tone hardens severely. Abrasive rock pieces are now added to the mix, where electric sounds rumble and seek their place in the middle of this electronic discharge where synths, samplers and other drum machines reign. The minimalist, straight-cut compositions systematically hit the mark. The texts, in French or Turkish, still evoke the mysticism or the darkness that characterized them until now, but today we feel a new force, like a revolt that is emerging.

From the opening, the very post-punk “Baskı Iklimi”, sung in Turkish and carried by an unstoppable groove, puts us in the mood. It will be dark and uncompromising. As if to set the record straight, comes the Franco-Turkish “Yanan Kurban”, with its monstrous bass line and chorus, which pierces the sky with its few synth notes. The next track “Kaçıs” allows a little breathing space, but it will be short due to the suffocating “Crève tes Yeux et Regarde” which closes side A.

The other half of the record is no less rhythmic, starting with “Veuve 909”, a repetitive track, with clear effectiveness and definitely psychotic. With an almost doubled tempo and guitars abused by the machines, “Liquide” does not intend to calm things down. It is only at the slower, but darker, “Bencil Iliski”, a track in two parts, half hypnosis - half malaise, that things settle down a little. The record closes with a krautrock/acid hybrid, “Orage”, which takes “Leroy Se Meurt” to a new land, that still retains the gloominess.

The record does not bother with an introduction, interlude or ambient passage, but the variety offered in its 37 minutes guarantees an experience full of energy and without repetition where we alternate styles, sounds, atmospheres, tempos, and even languages, always at the service of violent efficiency.

The cover signed Elzo Durt, enhances the biblical themes often addressed by Leroy Se Meurt.

For fans of Suicide, D.A.F., The Screamers, Metal Urbain and all the synth-punk heroes.
