Scorpion Violente’s The Rapist is a deliberately abrasive slab of minimal synth sleaze: cheap drum machines, monotone vocals and lurid basslines grinding through repetition until the line between satire, menace and dark humour becomes productively unstable.

We take the same ones and we start again. After the re-release of Überschleiss, two years ago, it's the turn of the second album of the violent disco band well known in the French underground microcosm to be re-released under the auspices of the label Replica Nova. On the programme, therefore, the same synthetic filth dripping from your stereo speakers. That said, we're still far from the fantasies of retarded boomers "fans of synthwave because they're fans of John Carpenter". An album that oozes danger, unease and violence, and is an unparalleled example: Indeed, the duo formed by Nafi and Toma proves that it's possible to put rock bands to shame with an asthmatic drum machine, two DIY synthesizers and sunglasses.
