After being evolved under the influence of Electro/Industrial music, the French project A7ie has been established in the year 2002 under the name Aseptie. Initially it was intended, to built an instrumental music project, which experiments with harsh and distorted beats supported by dark and melodic background sounds. The first track under the usage of vocals has been launched in 2005 and has entered a slot on the compilation ”In This Cold Terrific Room 2”, released by the label La Chambre Froide (France). ”Pray (This Agony)” has received fantastic reactions by both, audience and press, and has been played in many clubs worldwide.
IS THAT THE TASTE OF SORROW?
After several remixes for bands like Agonoize, Tamtrum or Alien Produkt, the band name finally got changed into A7ie and a first single entitled ”Messiah” has been released. Some appearances on international compilations like ”Gothic Magazine”, ”Goth Is What You Make It Vol. 2” or ”Extreme Sündenfall Vol.6” could have been arranged too.
Under the slogan ”sick music for sick people”, A7ie returned in September 2007 with the debut album ”Distress”, released on both labels, La Chambre Froide and Rupal Records (Germany). This album has been produced by the German studio wizard Jan L. (X-Fusion/Noisuf-X) and thanks to its sick and depressive content, ”Distress” has been announced as being the best Dark Electronic album of the month.
“ Distress is an album that offers 11 detonating and commitedly hardcore EBM / Dark Electrotracks replete with the hardest beats and the most monstruous distorted vocals… A Real must for fans of the harsh stuff…”

“ After some cool discoveries like Tamtrum, Skoyz and Neon Cage Experiment, A7ie is one more band emerging from the French dark electro corner and in my eyes the most convincing one for so far. A7ie creates a sonic state of terror crafted through devastating powerful tracks where danceable vibes and nightmarish atmospheres are melting together. ”

I HAVE FILL MY HEART WITH HATE
Three years after the stunning success of ”Distress”, A7ie is on returning with a new album called ”The Shattering”, now signed to Advoxya Records (Hungary). For this album, wounds in all forms have been named as being the main album theme, without any room for remorse and regrets. Heavier than ever and very danceable produced, so take care.... Time has come to endure HATE!

Neuroleptics
A7IE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eat my flesh,
Control my spirit,
A7ize me!
Use my brain,
Eat my flesh,
Control my spirit,
I eat my pills to follow the line
This is my cure imposed by life
Can you hear me crying, awaken by nightmares
Can you hear me fighting in this night called life
Chorus:
This is my brain
This my flesh
This my spirit
Neuroleptics!
The lyrics in A7ie's song "Neuroleptics" describe the struggle of someone who is dependent on medication to function. The first verse seems to depict a situation where the person is completely powerless - their brain, flesh, and spirit are being used and controlled by something or someone else. The line "A7ize me" could be a reference to how the person is submitting themselves to the effects of the drug, which is named after the band. In the next line, the word "purify" could be interpreted both literally as a term for the way these types of meds work, and figuratively as an attempt to rid oneself of negative thoughts or impulses.
The following lines suggest that the person takes pills to get through each day - this is their "cure imposed by life". However, the chorus emphasizes that these medications are fundamentally altering the person's being - their brain, flesh, and spirit are all tied to the use of neuroleptics. The repetition of this phrase indicates the permanence of this dependence, almost as if the person's identity is entirely reliant on it. The final line of the chorus assigns ownership of this dependency to the medication itself.
All in all, the lyrics describe the weight that medication dependence can have on an individual's sense of self. The references to flesh and spirit add a certain spiritual element to the song, painting this struggle as something transcendent and universal.
