Artist History The band "????" have only been together since summer of 2001, with the arrival of Yacine Mdarhri-Alaoui (bass) and Francis Passini (vocals). The musical style of the band , already well oriented towards efficiency is now more than confirmed. The year 2001/2002 has been rhytmed by no less than 15 hour weekly rehearsals. After a first month of dense work, "????" have gone into studio in order to record "Global" and "Weapontree" , two songs featured on the split CD "Feeding/Stroll/"????" out since January 2002 and which has been the subject of several columns in different magazines and webzines, at each time "????" has been well thought of. Following the sending of the split CD, a series of concerts have been organized, each performance has been successfuly supported by the audience. Each song composition being quite long, the set is therefore short but is nevertheless rich and built within a drastic dynamic. "????" have at their disposal concert and festival organizers and are willing to play wherever they will be solicitated.

Press Reviews HARD N'HEAVY "[...]The most interesting work is therefore the one from "????" with it's uncompromising and howled hardcore that will fulfil more than the simple amateurs of the kind." VIOLENT SOLUTIONS "The CD comes to an end with the most extreme band of all three: "????"(four question marks) We switch to an agressive mid tempo music, built around breaks and syncopated rhythmics. The strong influence of Meshuggah is undeniable, but "????" present a more digestable version of this futuristic and complexe genre. A french band to watch out for, in the line of "Korum". We hope witnessing their further evolution...on a less narrow musical aid." KORPOSSE "We will end with "????", hard to define....It's brutal core, it's positively strange, the sound is good, the vocals fit great with the music, a very personal music from which ensues strong emotion of massive destruction! The two songs follow each other very easily and transmit a great image. It must be explosive live!" TRASHOCORE "The last band is called "????"(that's their name)and, sincerely, a band that thanks Slayer, Metallica, Dying fetus and Cryptopsy cannot be potentially deceiving...well they're not! P racticing inevitably an aggressive music with howled vocals all along, "????" acheive a sort of crossover linking HxC, trash, and death metal. Some accelerations are present, a slapped (ou slapp) bass meets at times the guitare riffs, creating an explosive mixture."
