TREPONEM PAL will be headlining the Paul Raven Tribute show at The London Underworld on Wednesday May 28th. The band are keen to pay tribute to the much admired musician, who was working on the new Treponem Pal album when he tragically passed away in October of last year.

Says Vocalist Marco Neves: “I met this guy 16 years ago and we immediately got along very quickly !! He was a very positive human being, totally dedicated to living his life at 1000 % . Our vision of music and our taste was so opened in different ways, to a lot of different sounds and colors. It really helped us to escape from the same classic "routine". He was a true rebel… coming up on stage with such an infectious energy to offer !!!! He used Music as a weapon for life and fun and also to express his rage and torment, against politics and a mean to get beneath the skirts of beautiful women. And the most important thing was the way he loved to share everything with his friends and all people in general !!!

A VERY UNIQUE HUMAN BEING !! AN ORIGINAL FREEDOM FIGHTER!!!!

PAUL YOU'LL BE FOREVER TATTOOED IN OUR HEARTS!!

THIS ALBUM IS ENTIRELY DEDICATED TO YOU BRO !! REST IN PEACE!!”

With several cult albums critically and internationally acclaimed under it's belt, a pioneer's career and various punchy collaborations (YOUNG GODS, NINE INCH NAILS, PRONG, MINISTRY, FAITH NO MORE...), the Parisian precursor of groovy industrial-metal carbonizes the record industry with a new LP mixed with napalm. Recorded in Geneva, produced by David Weber and written by Marco Neves (vocals, development), Didier B. (keyboards, samplers), Polak (guitars) and the late Paul Raven (eminent bass player of KILLING JOKE, GODFLESH, PIGFACE, MURDER INC., Prong, Ministry), the ballistic missile plans to collide our boomers in April 2008.

Industrially toxic, metallic, electronic, ethnic, electric, psychedelic, hypnotic and always more eclectic, Treponem Pal signs with this noxious "Weird Machine" a proper declaration of war. An urban time bomb of a manifesto, pure weapon of massive destruction and distraction seriously dangerous and open minded.
