Drooling under full moons Ruins in your eyes Speeding like a reptile Slipping into the night You’ve got a hunger For the same old jungle dance You are the shooter Who never gives a chance It doesn’t matter what it tastes It only matters what you play And chase Meatnight Race Meatnight Race Meatnight Race, full of mess Madness reigns upon your face Meatnight Race Faster than your shadow You keep your senses high They call themselves black widows Gonna rip'em all alive Weaks and victims Everybody’s in the game To kill or not to kill Don’t think or be dead It doesn’t matter what it tastes It only matters what you play And chase Meatnight Race Meatnight Race Meatnight Race, full of mess Madness reigns upon your face Meatnight Race Don’t wait, the meat’s getting cold The night’s got you from its call At every place where the light is gone Get your curse, get it on

Somewhere in a distant wood When the roaming fog is holding you A man is made of fuel and steel With an old 12 gauge Remington Getting his hot red motor on Until your corpse gets killed He’s going to heal your curse Blowing up your crusts You’ll see the light In a burst Chainsaw, chainsaw and boomstick Chainsaw, chainsaw and boomstick Mad Ash, out of his mind The dead are laughing, they can fly Above the ground He’s going to heal your curse Blowing up your crusts You’ll see the light In a burst Chainsaw, chainsaw and boomstick Chainsaw, chainsaw and boomstick Chainsaw, chainsaw and boomstick Chainsaw, chainsaw and boomstick
3.	03. Jungle Dance 03:38	lyrics	buy track
Come into the circle Come around with the sharks Where every move is sly And innocence’s a lie Endless savagery in A game of “who gets who” ‘Cause what you feed Is coming after you Through the moans To reach the dawn Oh you’ve got to prove You’re worthy of the groove Caught in trance Licking up your fangs Get your meat And do the jungle dance Scratching to their bones To slip under their skin A smell gets to your nose And drool runs on your chin Your eye is turning white It’s moving way too fast Step off the light to get a chance to last Through the moans To reach the dawn Oh you got to prove You’re worthy of the groove Caught in trance Licking up your fangs Get your meat And do the jungle dance Alright! Mental at night A maniac of jizz In love with the pleasure to be sick Mental you crawl It’s all that you can do Since you belong to the zoo
4.	04. Sous l'Oeil du Charognard 04:43	lyrics	buy track
Ils ne t’ont jamais vu Même dans leurs cauchemars Quand l’âme est mise à nue Lorsqu’il se fait tard Tu rôdes, tu patientes Le moment propice Quand les griffes, au cœur se plantent Avant qu’il ne cicatrise Un jour tu paieras de ta chair Enfin tu gouteras la misère Charognard Tu tournes et tournes encore A l’infini Charognard En attendant ma mort Tu joues avec ma vie Charognard Jamais, jamais tu ne cesses De te nourrir du mal Charognard Surgit dans ma détresse Et porte le coup fatal Pas de race, pas de terres L’exile est en toi Tu reignes solitaire Et ne partages pas Les ruines de mon passé Sont ton terrain de chasse Je te vois jubiler Alors que je trépasse Un jour tu paieras de ta chair Enfin tu gouteras la misère Charognard Tu tournes et tournes encore A l’infini Charognard En attendant ma mort Tu joues avec ma vie Charognard Jamais, jamais tu ne cesses De te nourrir du mal Charognard Surgit dans ma détresse Et porte le coup fatal Un jour tu paieras de ta chair Enfin tu goûteras la misère Un jour ou l’autre tu tomberas Et tu finiras comme moi
5.	05. L'Aigle de la Route 04:35	lyrics	buy track
Prédateur, des sombres bornes Où l’essence et la poussière trônent Le mangeur d’homme Abattoir, l’oiseau d’écrous Ses plumes, de fer et de clous Le loup des loups Les carcasses De la flicaille qui par orgueil l’a défié Ne sont plus que crasses Et cercueils du passé La machine perdurera L’âme meurtrie des hommes leur en coûtera L’Aigle de la Route, quand sonne le glas Règne le doute, le viol et le trépas Plus rapide que la loi Il incarne la misère et le froid Sans croix, ni roi Ni de raison, ni de vengeance Le seul plaisir de la violence De sa démence Les carcasses De la flicaille qui par orgueil l’a défié Ne sont plus que crasses Et cercueils du passé La machine perdurera L’âme meurtrie des hommes leur en coûtera L’Aigle de la Route, quand sonne le glas Règne le doute, le viol et le trépas

about

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a reissue of the explosive debut mini-album of France’s ANIMALIZE, Tapes From the Crypt, on CD, and 12” vinyl formats.

Since 2018, France’s ANIMALIZE keep playing the kind of music that you (or your parents) may listened to 40 years ago. You know that "Heavy Metal" sound that appeared at a time when none of the band members was born. Well, they're still doing it.

However, it is the band’s love of movies which arguably influence ANIMALIZE’s outlook the most and make the difference. For them, a visual identity and atmosphere – whether in their visual aesthetic, be it artwork or onstage, or especially their eventual videos – are of the utmost importance. Film also feeds their lyrics, quite often. The band states that such movies as Evil Dead, Mad Max, Pet Sematary, Masters of the Universe, and Terminator are among their most beloved.

While they would bring both to Technicolor climax with their debut album for DYING VICTIMS, Meat We Are Made Of, during the summer of 2022, ANIMALIZE nevertheless came out with all guns blazing two years prior on the preceding mini-album Tapes From the Crypt. With an eye-grabbing (and era-authentic) cover setting the stage, the originally-limited Tapes From the Crypt managed to make ANIMALIZE’s strengths plain and POWERFUL: cruising speed metal glory crossing swords with radio-ready traditional metal of a most mid-‘80s vintage. This is the sound of ANIMALIZE at their most straightforward– and, arguably, most accessible – for the proceeding debut full-length found them upping the vocal layering and especially the complexity considerably, but the gleam & glory of Tapes From the Crypt is undeniable, and undeniably fun. A snapshot of a still-boundless band finding their wings, now finally reissued: the saga of ANIMALIZE begins here!

I own and love "Times..." and "Dream Quest Ends", but I slept too long on this one. The band has gotten even tighter and more intricate with their awesome riffing, but it's Sarah's vocals that steal the show. There was never a lack of personality or verve in that department, but she has stepped up her game wonderfully. It really feels like the musicians and vocalist are pushing each other to new heights and I am here for it! Well done, all! Groovy Decay
