David Salsedo, Brice, Aymeric, Jimi and Jean-Pierre Martins decided to form the group in 1989 to lead the party from their school. Satisfied with their performance, they roam the bars in the suburbs and are joined by Como on bass. They come gradually to earn money with concerts that take them to Ireland where they won a great success. Things get serious when the Scottish producer Peter Murray produced their first album, Silmarils in 1995. Their first single, "Cours vite" (Run fast), is a success and quickly became an anthem in rock from France. Many think about Black Desire of revenge and furious Tostaky, crossed with urban rabies NTM. The censored clip of the single "Cours vite" (with porn stars Julia Channel and Draghixa) also draws attention.
Silmarils then began a new tour, where they're passing in first part for AC / DC, U2 or Therapy?. In 1997 they released their second studio album, Original Karma. In May 2000 they are back with "Vegas 76" and the hit "Il va y avoir du sport" (There will be sport) and in 2003, "4 life" is available in stores.

Love your mum
Silmarils Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mais qu'en pensent les razés qui courent après mes fesses ?
Et les Ayathollahs, qui tuent pendant qu'ils prêchent
Est-ce qu'ils pensent a leurs mères quand ils pressent la gâchette ?
Love your mum, love your mum.
Les époques s'enchaînent, les pourris restent
Les bandits en col blanc qui nous vendraient leurs mères
Alors que pour bouffer, les miséreux s'endettent.
Eh mec, si le texte te soûle, coupe ton transistor.
Silmarils est dans la place et met le feu au décor.
J'emmerde ta morale, ta R12 de Nestor.
Viens chez nous faire un stage, fais un effort.
Crash to da trash : Ma mummy c'est la mieux
Crash to da trash : me regarde dans les yeux
Crash to da trash : me transmet sa puissance.
The lyrics of Silmarils' song "Love your mum" touch on various themes and perspectives related to the importance of appreciating and valuing one's mother. The opening line expresses a deep affection for the singer's mother, emphasizing that she is the best. However, the following lines raise questions about whether those who engage in immoral or violent actions, such as those who chase after the singer or the Ayathollahs who kill while preaching, think about their mothers when they commit such acts. This suggests a contrast between the love and respect for one's mother and the questionable actions performed by others.
The lyrics then shift to a critique of societal corruption and injustice. The phrase "les pourris restent" (the corrupt remain) alludes to the endurance of corrupt individuals in society. The mention of "les mêmes qui piquent dans les caisses" (the same ones stealing from the funds) highlights the ongoing issue of those in power embezzling money for personal gain. In contrast, the less fortunate struggle to make ends meet and face increasing debts just to feed themselves. This portrays a stark contrast between the privileged and the marginalized.
The final part of the lyrics takes a rebellious tone. The singer asserts the dominance of Silmarils and dismisses any traditional values or norms. The line "Eh mec, si le texte te soûle, coupe ton transistor" (Hey man, if the lyrics bother you, turn off your transistor) indicates a disregard for those who are not receptive to their message. The mention of "Crash to da trash" followed by phrases like "Ma mummy c'est la mieux" (My mommy is the best) and "me transmet sa puissance" (transmits her power to me) serves as an empowering declaration of the singer's loyalty and love for their mother.
Overall, the song "Love your mum" by Silmarils encourages appreciation for one's mother while highlighting the contrasting actions of others and societal injustices.
