CNK

A sort-of industrial metallic goth rock locks and make-up music group (some within the press actually used the word ‘boy-band’), the CNK (by 2008 meaning The Cosa Nostra Klub, before that it had been Count number Nosferatu Komando) released their 1st album, Ultraviolence Über Alles, in 2002. The CNK’s lineup included Nicolas St. Morand (aka Mr. Hreidmarr) of Anorexia Nervosa on vocals, Jean-Sébastien Ogilvy (aka Mr. Henrich Von B) on guitars, Jean-Emmanuel Artfield-Lautrec (aka Mr. Valnoir) of Matastazis on bass, and Sylvain Deslaves (aka Mr. Sylvicious) on drums. Their unusual mix of commercial metal, mascara, armed service uniforms, and wish to exhume the nature of Wagner was captured for another time on compact disk once the CNK released recording number 2, L’Hymne ? la Joie, in 2007.
