«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.

Igorrr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The rotting emptiness will bleed through all the walls
Now and forever, bring me your dead
The guts and grime will shine immortally red
Ground-up bones and charred-up flesh is what I need
To make this conquering death fully obscene
I need all them bones
Ah!...
Died all in vain, blood forever my dream
Your blood will mix and become thee again
This is the house of death
This is the house of corpses
This is the house of death
This is the house of corpses
Eviscerate and let death reign
Now desecrate, feed them to me
And the blood that is now what I need
So I can melt you with glee
Forever, bones and flesh will stand
The rotting emptiness will bleed through all the walls
This is the house of death
This is the house of corpses
This is the house of death
This is the house of corpses
Now, bring the cadavers so that I may build
The foundations of something unseen
Guts and brains are my building grounds
For the maggots will feed my need for decaying souls
All I need for me
Now, I build with bodies
Now, I feed on follies
This is the house of death
This is the house of corpses
This is the house of death
This is the house of corpses
Eviscerate and let death reign
Now desecrate, feed them to me
And the blood that is now what I need
So I can melt you to stone
The lyrics of Igorrr's song Parpaing (feat. George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher) revolve around death, decay, and the grotesque allure of the macabre. The opening lines "Forever, bones and flesh will stand / The rotting emptiness will bleed through all the walls" suggest a sense of eternal permanence associated with death, and the idea that the stench and emptiness of death will always pervade. The lyrics go on to describe the singer's insatiable desire for the remains of the dead, with lines such as "Ground-up bones and charred-up flesh is what I need / To make this conquering death fully obscene." The lines "Eviscerate and let death reign / Now desecrate, feed them to me" reinforce this macabre desire, as the singer revels in the act of desecrating corpses and consuming the flesh, blood, and bones of the deceased.
The repetition of the phrase "This is the house of death / This is the house of corpses" throughout the song reinforces the idea that death is a permanent fixture, and that the physical remains of the dead are a central motif within the song. The lyrics suggest that the singer is building something with the remains of the dead, but it is not clear what this mysterious "something unseen" might be. It is clear, however, that the lyricist is playing with the idea of death as a form of grotesque creativity, with lines like "Guts and brains are my building grounds / For the maggots will feed my need for decaying souls."
The vocal collaboration between Igorrr and George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher adds to the overall sense of horror and darkness conveyed by the lyrics, with the guttural, animalistic grunts and growls of Fisher contrasting with the operatic vocals of Igorrr. Together, they create a sense of intense, almost unbearable tension and unease, as if the listener is being pulled down into a dark, inexplicable void.

Forever, bones and flesh will stand
The physical remains of humans will always exist, even after death
The rotting emptiness will bleed through all the walls
Death's inevitable void will permeate and manifest itself everywhere
Now and forever, bring me your dead
Present and future, surrender me all your deceased individuals
The guts and grime will shine immortally red
The inner filth and gore will radiate eternally in crimson glory
Ground-up bones and charred-up flesh is what I need
Finely pulverized bones and burned flesh are my requisites
To make this conquering death fully obscene
To render death's dominance completely repugnant
I need all them bones
I require all of their skeletal remains
I model the rotting corpses
I fashion the decomposing bodies
Died all in vain, blood forever my dream
All deaths are futile; my aspiration is eternal bloodshed
Your blood will mix and become thee again
Your blood will be fused and transformed into myself anew
This is the house of death
This is the dwelling place of demise
This is the house of corpses
This is the abode of lifeless bodies
Eviscerate and let death reign
Disembowel and allow mortality to rule supreme
Now desecrate, feed them to me
Now defile and offer them to me
And the blood that is now what I need
And the vital fluid which is presently my demand
So I can melt you with glee
So I can dissolve you with delight
Now, bring the cadavers so that I may build
Now, bring the lifeless bodies to me so I can construct
The foundations of something unseen
The groundwork for something imperceptible
Guts and brains are my building grounds
Viscera and cerebrum are what I use to build
For the maggots will feed my need for decaying souls
Because the maggots will satiate my craving for decomposing spirits
All I need for me
All I need for myself
Now, I build with bodies
Currently, I construct with corpses
Now, I feed on follies
Now, I nourish myself on foolish actions
So I can melt you to stone
So I can dissolve you into a hardened state

Gautier Serre comments: "We are so honored to welcome the final boss of death metal: George Fisher, to sing on one of the most brutal Igorrr tracks we have ever made.
"I’ve been a huge fan of George since the legendary albums "Gallery of Suicide" and "Bloodthirst" from Cannibal Corpse which had a pretty serious influence on my music.
"His participation makes a complete sense to me and to this track: who’s got a better voice than George Fisher’s voice and could fit better on chiptune 8 bit music? Heaviness versus its opposite, I found on this track the perfect match, the perfect balance."
@QuantumPolagnus
So freaking good - I'm loving the collab.
@banehog
George Fisher's voice does indeed have the best voice
