Mass Hysteria

To celebrate the exceptional tenth album of their career, MASS HYSTERIA has chosen to disguise what was nothing less than a double album in two acts, compact and intense, with a well-defined narrative — a true tour de force where such ambitions, so articulated, evoke another era: Tenacious. Mass Hysteria is a sharp pen that erodes slogans on the walls of cities: like entering resistance in an already dystopian world, the quintet embodies a call to collective consciousness, like a hybrid entity, a machine with a soul, demanding justice. Mass Hysteria may also be Humanity itself, and its destiny inexorably called to falter on the edge of the abyss — but which resists, unconditionally, strengthened by its determination, its emotions, its unity, its resilience... And above all, its tenacity. Mouss, Yann, Raph', Fred, and Jamie form a clenched fist, and like in the glorious era of politically engaged rock from the sixties, it represents the silent threat against a system they despise — and authorities who should start to worry about their words, as they are so unifying. These fists are also those raised above the crowds, yours, which grow their ranks.
