Diabologum was a French rock group of the 1990s from Toulouse founded by Michel Cloup (Peter) and Arnaud Michniak (Tadz).
Their three albums were a mixture of noisy rock, sophisticated pop, and experimental collage. Inspired by the Dadaists, the Situationists, Sonic Youth, Hip Hop, and Codeine, they ended up creating their own style on #3, their last album, by replacing song by spoken texts accompanied by howling, but nonetheless melodic, guitars, together with various samples. This last album was an inspiration to French rock.
They eventually split up in 1998. Michel Cloup joined Expérience, while Arnaud Michniak joined Programme. Experience issued an LP under the name Binary Audio Misfits. Michel Cloup and the drummer Patrice Cartier issued then 'Notre Silence' in 2011.
In October 2011, Diabologum made a unique concert in Vendôme, with Françoise Lebrun (voice of La maman et la putain) as a surprise guest.
Music & Lyrics: Sasrof
Frozen in silent numb
Cold and dead is it?s destiny
A black world
Lifeless for eternity
Abomination
Desolation
All life has been ended
All lies been burnt
Feeble creation
Feeble mankind
Engulfed in the order of Hell
Marduk fell
Marduk died
As the burning god
Reaped the orb
Creation ended
Drowned in the fire tide
As the gates of chaos opens wide
Within
Beyond
Above
He reigns
Hail Tiamat
Hell Dominus
Azarate!
Apsu!
