THE PSYCHOTIC MONKS – Botanique, Brussels – 20 March 2023

French post-psych-punk crusaders THE PSYCHOTIC MONKS,
formed in 2015. They released their new, third and stupefying
album, named PINK COLOUR SURGERY last February.

Vicious Circle Records introduced it as follows: “Their 3rd album, Pink Color Surgery, produced by Daniel Fox of the group Gilla Band and composed in part by a work of improvisations finally comes to us as an act of resistance to the ambient violence. Disconcerting at first sight, this new opus operates in the dark a surgery of ethics which is fleshed out in pink for a stunning metamorphosis. Pink Color Surgery is like the hidden room of a house we have never entered and the possibility of feeling good there is not excluded.”

Last night the Monks hit the stage in Brussels and dragged the flabbergasted crowd into
the puzzling psyche of their new ominous record. PM are trance priests. They take you on a mindboggling rollercoaster, on a modern-day Götterdämmerung odyssey with a melting pot of dark disco-punk, enigmatic psychedelic distortion, pitch-black gloominess, brain-breaking grooves, and alternating vocals by all four members. With The Psychotic Monks Doomsday will be a party-hard gathering.

And this will be the perfect soundtrack.
