The band has become well known because of their live shows. Sonic manipulations are accompanied by fire breathing and other uncanny acts you would rather expect to see at a carnival than a concert. By touring Europe extensively they made a name for themselves due to their harsh, grinding elektro which manages to mix the genre in its essence and the atmospheres of black metal. In 2005 they released the mega hit Le Son de la Pluie (The Sound of the Rain) on the Alfa Matrix compilation Endzeit Bunkertracks: Act I. It became number one on the DAC.
They had a touring member besides the core who went by the name of Ins-ext. He added a lot to Tamtrum's show including fire breathing and live support, but after a few shows he left the band and was replaced by Fixxxer (also known as Fixhead).
In late 2005/early 2006 Tamtrum entered the studio to record the album Elektronic Black Mess and this for their new label Alfa Matrix. The line up for this album included the whole band and also holds guest vocals by the ex-Anorexia Nervosa singer Rose Hreidmarr. Some tracks had vocals by Fixxxer, who also contributed with the writing of the music which had been done by Benoit only. Elektronic Blakc Mess was released in two different versions, a single disc edition and a 2CD limited edition set, the bonus disc containing remixes. The limited edition CD also comes with the Vatican-Approved Condom and two live appearance videos.
My Fall
Tamtrum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Se dresse devant moi
Je me dois de la gravire
Atteindre mon but
Toucher ce ciel
...Ce Ciel!
Mon premier pas est lourd
Mon second essaye de faire oublier le premier
Ce long escalier qui me face a l'air complexe
Avec le ciel et l'infini
Marche apres marche, je monte cet enfer
Le vent glacial scisaille ma peau et viole mon ame
Que vais-je trouver en haut
L'amour, la force la vaillance
Ou peut-etre l'espoir, la haine
Peu importe je dois monter
Je dois monter
J'apercois un aigle
Il grave son nom dans les nuages
Il a l'air libre
Je veux l'atteindre
Je dois l'atteindre
Les gouttes de sueur qui perlent sur mon front
Me rappelles que je ne suis qu'un tas d'os
Un tas d'os mort
Je ne veux plus me reposer
Je ne dois plus m'arreter
Si je veux trouver la paix
Je dois monter
Cent jours passerent
Je suis enfin au sommet
Ici tout est plus clair
Tout est plus beaux
Je surplombe les nuages
Et les horizons
Rien ni personnes ne m'y attendais
Ou peut etre, le repos
Je marchais doucement
Mes chevilles craquent, Je tombe
Mes yeux ce ferment, la fatigue
A present je me sens mourir
Et je sais pourquoi je suis venus
Jusqu'ici
The song "My Fall" by Tamtrum describes the journey of a person who sets out to climb a tall building made of silver and glass in order to reach their goal and touch the sky. The first few steps are difficult, but the person persists and continues upwards. As they climb, they are faced with the harsh wind, which cuts through their skin and seems to violate their very soul. Despite this, the person remains determined to reach the top, not knowing if they will find love, strength, courage, hope or hate there, but still they must climb.
As they continue to climb, the person sees an eagle, soaring in the clouds, and feels an overwhelming desire to reach it. The sweat on their brow reminds them of their mortality, but they push through, determined to reach the summit. Finally, after a hundred days, the person reaches the top of the building and surveys the world below. Despite the fact that no one is there to greet them, the person feels that they have found clarity and beauty in the view from the top.
As they begin their descent, the person's exhaustion catches up with them and they feel themselves start to fall. Despite their efforts, they cannot stop their fall, and they know that this is why they came in the first place.
Overall, the song speaks to the human desire to reach for something greater, even if it means encountering obstacles and experiencing pain along the way. It reminds us that sometimes the journey to the top is more important than the destination itself.

Une de mes chansons preferees parmis des milliards, ma jeunesse. Mitigee, tres difficile mais tres vivante, une jeunesse morte, les deux a la fois. Tant de souvenirs. A l'epoque j'avais mes deux chiens, mes terribles bull terrier qui etaient si droles! Ils me faisaient rire meme a me pisser dessus c'etait si bon de les avoir. Que de rigolades, de delires en tout genre, glauques, macabres. Des experiences hallucinantes, que je n'oublierai jamais. J'entendais des voix de l'au dela, je frisais la folie a trop vouloir chercher la supremacie de la verite. Des temps durs, des emotions extremement fortes et troublantes. Merci a ce groupe francais de plus, vous etes incroyable et je vous remercie de me mettre la chair de poule sur ma peau de cette musique geniale, c'est rare. Quand j'ecoute cette chanson, je pense a mon sang, a celui de mes ancetres, a mon ame, je me sens transportee au pays des menhirs. Je me sens sorciere desabusee, trahie et je me sens aussi veneree. Je pense aux ames qu'on ne comprendra jamais et celles que nous avons eu du mal a apprivoiser, et le plus magnifique nos ames soeurs. J'ai l'impression que sa resume toute ma vie et j'ai toujours des frissons quand je l'ecoute. Je voulais gravir l'echelle, quitter ce sombre trou noir, il m'attirait, il voulait m'asphixier, m'enterrer vivante mais j'ai vu le jour. La lumiere. Les chenilles. Les papillons. Maintenant, j'y suis.
