During a show in Southern France, Michael Berberian of Season Of Mist noticed the band and proposed them a contract for an album.
The first album, Exile, was released in 1997. It was recorded at the LB Studio, produced by Stéphane Buriez of Loudblast and mixed by Bruno Donini; it represents an outcome in the experiment and the research on madness. Quite far from black metal, Exile is a concept-album on the topic of the neurosis and the denial of existence. Built on a text divided in three cycles, themselves divided in sequences, it has ritual and auto- erotic parts, flirting with industrial, death metal and gothic rock. This album, of which 2400 copies have been sold, has allowed the band to be known out of the underground scene, thanks to a promotion in the European press, some participations in compilations, and a succession of concerts with Cradle Of Filth, Absu, Enslaved, Misanthrope and so on.
Yet, the next period has seen the questioning for Anorexia Nervosa. Actually some members wanted to keep in the experiment, but most did not agree. Then Stéphane Gerbaud and Marc Zabé left the band. Anorexia Nervosa took advantage of this period to create its present style, the real "Dark Nihilistic Metal". A fast, powerful, orchestral, monumental metal, that represented more their intentions and their romantic and nihilistic way of life.
Then they have needed one year to compose and sharpen their songs until perfection before they decided to record the EP Sodomizing the Archedangel at the Drudenhaus Studio in February 1999, after having hired two new members. Hreidmarr (vocals, also the vocalist of the comedy band Suprem MRAP) et Neb Xort (keyboards). This recording, that was supposed to be a foretaste of the next album, allowed the band to sign a contract with the main label for extreme metal, Osmose Productions, and allowed the crowd to get used to this new musical trend.
After a French tour as a support for Immortal in September 1999, Anorexia Nervosa came back to the Drudenhaus Studios, and after three months of being locked up and working hard, in March 2000 the very expected Drudenhaus was released. This album, very fast, far better produced, symphonic, with classical and baroque influences, is in many ways the masterpiece in the band's career. Idolized by the national and international press, it also had a great success among the fans, and boosted Anorexia Nervosa as the leader of the French metal scene. Then many concerts and festivals followed in France, Benelux and Switzerland, with bands such as Cradle Of Filth, Rotting Christ, Aggressor, Seth, and the reactions are still very enthusiastic after the very visual performances of the band.
They are lyrically themed towards violence, depression (older albums), and redemption (newer albums).
In 2007 Stefan Bayle claimed that the Anorexia Nervosa in on hold status now as they weren't able to find such vocalist as Rose Hreidmarr who left band in the 2005.
Current line-up:
Stefan Bayle - Guitar
Pier Couquet - Bass
Nilcas Vant - Drums
Neb Xort - Keyboards
I'll Kill You
Anorexia Nervosa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and I'll kill you
you changed me
you drove me mad
you robbed me of my loving, it's you!
still I'm sad that you betrayed me
it's all over with me now
and I'll kill you!
* don't let me go unchecked
I've gotta go wild [x2]
don't call it dream or fantasy
nobody knows my soul burned as fire
why my heart was broken so heavy
you might know my love was for you
you know!
oh! go to the grave together
[* repeat]
I'll kill you (You go to the grave with me)
I'll kill you
The lyrics of Anorexia Nervosa's song "I'll Kill You" appear to be a reflection of a person's intense feelings of anger, betrayal, and sadness towards someone who they believe has caused them great harm. The opening lines, "It's all over with me now and I'll kill you," suggest that the singer feels like they have reached a breaking point and are ready to take drastic action against the person who has caused them so much pain. They blame this person for changing them, driving them mad, and "robbing" them of their ability to feel love. This suggests that the singer feels like they were once happy and content but that this other person has completely destroyed their sense of self and left them feeling hollow and empty.
The lyrics continue to explore the singer's complex feelings towards this person, with lines like "still I'm sad that you betrayed me" suggesting that they may still feel a sense of love or affection towards this person despite everything they have done. However, this sense of sadness is quickly overshadowed by their anger as they repeat the refrain "and I'll kill you" multiple times throughout the song. The lyrics also touch on the idea that the singer's intense emotions may be difficult for them to control, with lines like "don't let me go unchecked, I've gotta go wild" implying that they may feel like they are on the brink of losing control.
Overall, the lyrics of "I'll Kill You" paint an intense and emotional picture of a person who has been pushed to their limits by someone else's actions. The sense of anger and betrayal in the lyrics is offset by a feeling of sadness and loss, creating a complex emotional landscape that suggests the singer's feelings towards this person are anything but simple.
