TAMTRUM is perpetually on the road for an unholy quest to summon more victims. Their ultra-powerful frantic live performances receive the unanimity of outstanding votes: TAMTRUM are above all a live band! And the use of fire-blowing, strip-tease shows and other fluo-chemical performances on stage reinforce their forceful, uncompromising and decadent image.
Before setting off to play some major European festivals, TAMTRUM still managed the time to release the «Versus» split-album with the other French band LOK-8.
In 2005, the duo was joined by old colleague Fixhead, and the TAMTRUM monster was once again locked in the studio to work on a new album. The band also made some eye-catching blitzkrieg appearances on several compilations that propelled TAMTRUM onto the playlists of every club across the world with their mega-hit «Le Son De La Pluie».
With a punk spirit, a «sex, drugs’n industrial» attitude, a dark goth/metal look, harsh elektro sequences, distorted screams and locomotive drum patterns TAMTRUM is here to shake your ass! Described by many as the most promising and fastest rising French underground talent of the moment, TAMTRUM often gets compared music-wise to a band like HOCICO with a rather MANSONesque attitude… Their music and lyrics (in French & English) are morbid, disturbing, nasty, sick, noisy and per definition hyper-danceable.
Their next hi-energy and merciless aggressive assault is planned for release in the spring of 2006 on the band’s new label Alfa Matrix, before the band starts another fucking bloody and shocking tour on speed across Europe… Keep the fainthearted kids secluded at home – heads will fall and clubs will burn, burn, burn!

In Blood We Trust
Tamtrum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With god, we rust
We are the children
Of a pathetic world
So much blood we need
With our god teeth
This flesh will rot
In blood, in blood we trust!
In blood, in blood we trust!
In blood we trust...
In blood we trust
With god, we rust
We are the children
Of a pathetic world
So much blood we need
With our god teeth
This flesh will rot
'Cause - in blood we trust!
The lyrics of Tamtrum's song "In Blood We Trust" depict a dark and nihilistic worldview, where trust and faith lie solely in bloodshed and destruction. The opening lines, "In blood we trust, with God we rust," suggest that the singer does not believe in a benevolent or loving deity, but rather sees the world as a cold and cruel place where only the strongest survive. The reference to rust may also imply a sense of decay or corruption, as if even the divine is tainted by the violent tendencies of humanity.
The repetition of the phrase "we are the children of a pathetic world" further underscores this sense of hopelessness and cynicism. The singer seems to view human beings as inherently flawed and doomed to failure, unable to escape the cycle of violence and destruction that they have created for themselves.
The concept of needing blood with "god teeth" is particularly chilling, suggesting a predatory and brutal mindset in which power can only be attained through violence and domination. And the final declaration - "in blood we trust!" - serves as a sinister mantra, a chilling reminder of the bleak worldview espoused in the song.
Overall, "In Blood We Trust" is a powerful and disturbing examination of the darker aspects of human nature, one that is sure to provoke strong reactions and intense emotions.
