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.

Tout reste à faire
Silmarils Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La fin des capitulations, un vent de tradition.
C'est comme un mauvais tic, sorte de tumeur politique
Partant libérer la nation, croyant libérer la nation.
C'est comme hier ou presque, de la mesure et des hommes honnêtes
L'ascension des revanchards, rien n'est plus laissé au hasard.
C'est de l'heure de sortir les héros
D'assassiner à l'ombre des drapeaux, grandeur de l'âme patriotique.
Tout reste à faire, tout reste à faire.
C'est sans aucun doute l'année du porc.
Voici revenu le culte de l'homo superior.
Le goût de la défaite engendre des lignées de teigneux
De cerveau rances de fanatique du vieux jeu.
Et les actions s'enchaînent, le souffle est plus fort.
Je crois reconnaitre le chant du porc.
Et les actions s'enchainent, le souffle est plus fort
Et la France panique, la France panique.
The lyrics to Silmarils’s song Tout reste à faire depict the rise of nationalism and the cult of the leader, with references to the Algerian War and the resurgence of extremist ideologies. The first stanza refers to the desire for revenge and the rejection of capitulations, with a nod towards the military coup in Algeria in 1958. The second stanza speaks of the year of the pig, which has historically been associated with greed and corruption, and the cult of the ‘homo superior’ or superior human. The third stanza continues the theme of extremist ideologies and the danger they pose to society, with references to violence and panic.
The lyrics use powerful and symbolic language to paint a picture of a society on the brink of collapse, where nationalism and extremism threaten to destroy everything that has been built. The song suggests that despite the progress made, there is still much work to be done to safeguard the values of democracy and freedom. At its core, Tout reste à faire is a warning against complacency and a call to action, reminding us that the fight for justice and equality is never over.
