«I just want to make the music I love, without asking myself if it's gonna be too complex or too far from what people like. I want to make the music which has sense to me, with no restrictions, like a big party with metalheads, electronics nerds, classical and baroque-heads and gypsy violinists getting drunk and joining together to bring the best of every genre.»
— Gautier Serre
Initially influenced by the likes of Meshuggah, Chopin, Cannibal Corpse, Bach, Domenico Scarlatti, Taraf de Haidouks and Aphex Twin, traces of these artists can be found littered across Igorrr’s discography, but Serre has never been interested in remaining static or merely recycling ideas, and his work has dramatically evolved accordingly. It deeply explains how Igorrr’s music is such an explosion of creativity while keeping a cohesive universe records after records.
In recent years, Igorrr has also become a collective, rather than the work of one man alone, which has brought a new level of intensity into the group live representations.
He released Nostril (2010) and Hallelujah (2012) on Ad Noiseam. And Savage Sinusoid (2017) on Metal Blade Records.
Damaged Wig
Igorrr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm in trainin' for you
If I hug a beauty, honest and true
I'm in trainin' for you
Why sweetheart, you must realize
My arms need the exercise
I'll be in condition when I get through
I'm in trainin' for you
We have to watch every play
So if I'm practicin', I'm not to blame
I must improve every day
If you see me neckin' somebody new
I'm in trainin' for you
Learning every second just what to do
I'm in trainin' for you
You're sincere of that I'm sure
You don't want no amateur
What I learn from others I'll teach you too
I'm in trainin' for you
