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.

No justice no peace
Silmarils Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Mandats, perquisitions avec fracas sous les projecteurs.
Etudes de droit, beaucoup de sang froid
Ne suffisent pas toujours à faire un homme droit.
Amis, corrompus et bandits, tous comptent sur lui.
Can't stop... No justice no peace, juge et membre du parti.
Can't stop... No justice no peace.
Juge et membre du parti, juge d'instruction, délit d'opinion
Devoir de réserve, retord, mais surtout Socialistovore.
Le juge méne l'enquête, secret d'l'instruction c'est bon pour les cons
Mais pas le fils du RPR et de Tesson.
Fuites en cascades, un juge en campagne, arme électorale.
Can't stop... No justice no peace, juge et membre du parti.
Can't stop... No justice no peace, juge et membre du parti.
These lyrics delve into the story of a new kind of star, one who seeks to correct wrongs and bring justice. They highlight the flashy and loud nature of search warrants and raids conducted under the scrutiny of the media. The lyrics also mention the importance of studying law and maintaining a cool demeanor, but emphasize that these qualities do not always guarantee integrity. The singer is depicted as someone whom friends, corrupt individuals, and criminals alike rely on.
The chorus, "Can't stop... No justice no peace, juge et membre du parti" (Can't stop... No justice no peace, judge and party member), showcases the singer's role as a judge and member of a political party. The lyrics suggest a parallel between the pursuit of justice and the political ideologies they align with. The mention of "délit d'opinion" (opinion offense) and "devoir de réserve" (duty of reserve) hints at the complexities and constraints of being both a judge and a member of a party. The term "Socialistovore" combines the words "socialist" and "devourer" to criticize the judge's affiliation with a political party.
The lyrics go on to depict the judge conducting investigations, keeping the secrecy of the proceedings while leaks happen, and portraying the judge's involvement as a part of an electoral campaign. This suggests that the judge's actions are not purely driven by the pursuit of justice but are also influenced by personal gain and political motives.
