Mini tour belgium and France was without Migou nor Ripol, but was a blast XD




 Forgot to post here, as usual, still I feel that I should do it more and more, thats why I start again XD
Sometimes when you think you're doomed you really are, sometimes yu just have to fight XD
Our 2nd official bass player couldn't come to this tour, but as in Belgium people saw us mostly with 3 instead of 4 we just went. We had fun (and cold) anyway, and it was nice to see some  friends again :)
We had a show for supporting a benefit in Paris Vitry but there we really got doomed : we found a 3rd bass player but our Antoine blocked his backed just the day after the tour, and we had to cancel.
So our last show in 2021 was in Reims as we are going to travel seperatly (ahah for once) this december to rejoin each other in January 2022 for a mini tour of 5 days in Basque Country!
We are planning a Balkan, Italy and islands and Greece and islands tour as well for march april, but I hope it wont be too early in march.
We are invited in UK again and in Poland, that means some tours, ofc, covid permitting.

THANKS A LOT EVERYBODY THAT MADE THOSE 2 TOURS POSSIBLE

 Hi and sorry for the long silence on this platform. I had the feeling nobody was reading it and in those 2 tours, I met people that actually asked me about the blog and I felt like a idiot.
So here I am again, trying to go back to old school, as I noticed I suck on modern platforms :) also on tour there was a 'shitty social media' blackout, what indeed was short but impressive.

Here we go. Publishing the tour posters as first:



Those tours where the beginning of a new era for us, or a almost new, as since january 2021 we moved to North West France (Sarthe Regio) so we are officially not a Belgian band anymore, also, those tours (together with a minitour in May and a couple of shows) where the first shows of Py at the drums, what means the first shows of Antoine at the guitar and the arrival of Panzer Migou at the bass.
I have to admit this is for me, and also for the people that follow us since years, the best formation ever of MatraK AttaKK, and I am so glad that after many many years, 7 for me and 5 for Py, we made it to find each other ;)

Now we can say to have toured in full Europe, and we need to go further, as our plan to tour Philippine Indonesia and Japan in 2021 went temporary to pieces.

For now we got still some european plans, as yes we can say we toured in every country of europe, but we didn't do full Italy for example, and the islands! that's why in March/April we plan to go there!
We have plans for Georgia in june, waiting to know more about political conflicts of neighbour countrys, as if you go to Georgia you also would love to go in some countries next to it... :P
Also we would like to show the desolated landscaped of Scandinavia and Finland to Antoine and Migou even tough we went there already twice, as we want to hit Kiruna this time!
We would Love to play in Albania and Bosnia, to finally go to Moldavia and Belarus,
we'd love to Re-plan in bigger, our England Scotland Wales tour, adding up Ireland, but with Brexit it looks like something for later as well..

We want to go everywhere and even tough most of us are in mid late 30s, we want to enjoy until we can :)
Therefore, if you want us somewhere let us know good on time! We got too many plans ^^

We still have like 20 copies of the old split album with Discordance and 20 of our last Album What the Fuck is under the spotlight'...Not so many , what means we need to make new songs for a new split this year.

Anyway those are the already planned days out / mini tours of this end of the year, hope to see YOU there X

Out full lenght LP "What the fuck is under the spotlight will be released on 11 DIY labels end may! Another time with the cover art of the awesome DADA RUZA from Timisoara! 

Also our split tape with GLOBAL HORROR will be out in May, where we hopefully will have 2 shows in Bretagne (France)  after this confinement.... then we will heading to Germany to take our 500 LPs to distribute to all our labels and will stay a bit in Belgium before heading to some shows / tours, again, hopefully...
 


Our ex bass player and ex drummer A.P. left the band in February 2021. Honestly we are fine with it as we are more a united group of people now.. Now Py is drumming and left the guitar to Antoine! We will try soon in may Jack at the bass. we are also staying in Le Mans to practice every day and also because we like it.

Sometimes you need to be evicted to make up your mind! :)

Also in august we will be heading to countryside close to Pardubice (CZ) to play at a festival:





we will need 5 or 6 days to go and come back, probably to Le Mans (France)




also we are in some digital and cd-r split compilation with other international bands worldwide, cause, WHY NOT!!! it's great to be everywhere even in times of lockdown and pandemic ;)

NEW RELEASES IN 2021 : Split tape with Global Horror Sanctus Iuda cover // AND FULL LENGHT LP 11 new songs! // plus some vids of some CARPE DIEM shows 2020

                                                   News from MATRAK ATTAKK ;)



 In august and september 2020,
we did some carpe diem shows and tours. End august we played in Switserland Bourdache fest and we really loved it. This song is called "Class War" and is mainly in Dutch! This will be featured in the Full Lenght LP :



👀👀 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuJkNvjBnwc 👀👀

hipocriete rijke landen's politiek
mensen tegen elkaar opgezet
oorlog tss de armen en de bourgeoisie

sommige mensen mogen blijven gaan!
sommige mensen mogen nog doden en slaan - hipocriet!
een jongen is dood omdat hij op zn brommer bleef gaan
boten vol mensen mogen zinken en vergaan  - wat een excuus

het is "class war"
e urlano dalla finestre e strillano dai balconi, invidia per chi esce, schiavi degli oppressori!

odia! odia!
odia! odia!

"sommige mensen mogen nog blijven gaan!
sommige mensen mogen nog doden en slaan - hipocriet
een jongen is dood omdat hij op zn brommer blijft gaan!
en boten vol mensen mogen zinken en vergaan  - wat een excuus

opgesloten met hun moordenaar
verkracht en vernederd blijven opstaan
kinderen en zwakken verlaten aan de dood
racistische opvattingen, kapitalistische moord!

                           💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

Rape As A Weapon - will be featured in both our split tape w Global Horror and our Full Lenght
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBLQj-6gckA

In Bialystok Poland September 2020:
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwy6OXlj0Dc

left to bleed
burnt and frozen inside and outside
while all life and memories are passing by
numbed, paralyzed, the inner embrace the outer
sweat and blood wake her up

rape as a weapon of control
normalised by cops, soldiers and leaders
dominance and patriarchy, man-controlled authority
distorted male brain (re)gaining glory

police crimes, beaten up wives
to put her at her place,
raping transpeople out homophobia
showing (that) misoginy is total

'persone mutilate e crimini di guerra
cadaveri stuprati é il fascismo che trionfa
genicidio etnico é un diritto sulla Terra
é tragica la fine dell'umanita' in Terra
ignorata e stuprata é la donna sulla Terra
usata e condannata è la donna sulla Terra
Mutilata accorciata la vita sulla Terra!'

awaken   realising the desolation    around
closeby   they're all dead, not giving   a sound
she stands up and    covers   her wounds
screaming for vengeance, their time has, their time has, come!

                           💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

in September 2020 we could fast tour 16 days in CZ and PL, passing through Germoney -
Here we play W(a)stern humans, and "La 7eme Arme" played at the BDAY of ROZBRAT Poznan x

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fKOnv34Xb4

Let's shake human brains for once!
wake up from this sleepy state of mind!
also when we want 'to be punk'!

beware the myth of the alcoholic and the one of the doped
how many careless coke consumers feel like they're not doin' wrong?
2019 epidemy of DSM-psychiatry lovers and then?
virtual activists following trends, skipping news as spam!

drinking is cool untill you shake!
Untill you shake in the morning!

Privileged western humans creating problems as we are so lucky and bored!?

Labeling ourselves in search of a new identity why don't we read a book?
With our social security and our free money and mamy calling us soon?
when you take another and another line of speed..
complaining whining and crying out, waiting for a facebook sound?

untill you...
shake !
'punk is drunk, speed is punk'
no fun.

LA SEPTIEME ARME

we're at war again and it'll never end
emergency state to protect the citizens
we have every reason to be scared
the enemy is everywhere it could even be the neighbor

military and police to maintain order
we don't want our peace disturbed by anybody
bombs and terror to bring over
our great model of freedom and democracy

population civile, arme ultime
la septieme arme

indochina and algeria
cameroun and rwanda, death squads in south america
we have to defend our civilization
so be ready to kill and die

ne pas trop penser
laisser "ceux qui savent" decider, controler

population civile, arme ultime
la septieme arme

propaganda with the collusion of the media
psychological war or psychological action
paradoxal injunction to make us lose common sense and reflection
a war of words to coerce
to control our opinion in our own interest

manipulated by fear and authoritarism
indoctrinated by religion and nationalism
never in peace, always a threat
it makes us easier to manipulate

                               💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

Lasciate Ogni Speranza (voi che entrate) Hasselt Cafe de witte Non February 2020

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o55E7T1sexU

Apprezziamo cos'e' successo con crimini e autoricatti?
accettando regimi fascisti torture e nuove gabbie
chiamandoci banditi liberta' limitata al mai
ripetendo crimini, vieni e vai!

questi demoni di tutte le religioni
deridono e torturano, indottrinati dal denaro!
 prima che dai loro libri santi
nutriti dalla paura, e dal populismo.

parassiti / terroristi / della vita / della Terra!

quando nel mondo dei vivi, si demonizzano donne violentate,
togliendo gli umani diritti di abortire, scegliere e mangiare!
Cosa ne restera' di noi
quando la natura riuscira' a prendere il soprav-vento?

parassiti / terroristi / della vita / della Terra!

facciamo del bene per sentirci soddisfatti
nutriamo la nostra grossa ignoranza
produce consuma e crepa sola in una stanza!

Per tutti i nuovi arrivati, su questo 'vecchio' pianeta,
benvenuti in un mondo crudele, alla fine dei suoi giorni!
bambini, banditi, lasciate ogni speranza
voi che entrate per ripetere
gli errori di noi stessi.

Welcome to Hell - march 2020 Goasven Brest

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meEyejEH7N8

Perdendo le tracce le tracce di cambiamento ricostituiti partiti fascisti odio e tradimento,
di crimini sessisti e poi violenze, la troppa polizia uccide ci son gia troppe evidenze di
 Stragi tragiche, gravide di rabbia e populismo terrore di ammalarsi e dell' uomo stesso
 credevate che il mondo sarebbe migliorato con questo odore omofobico ostinato!
razzismo e leggi atroci che mostrano egoismo e lobotomia virtuale!
Spero che voi leader mondiali nell'inferno che avete creato, per primi BRUCIATE!

you're welcome
to hell.

Welcome! in the name of the monetary god!
Welcome to hell!

Siberia, Congo, Rojava altre foreste,
tutto attorno e' fuoco!
Aborto illegale, diritti violati
non ci resta che poco!
Gridiamo aiuto, chiediamo soccorso,
e' la fine dell'umanita'?

welcome, to hell
welcome, in the name of your monetary god!
welcome,
non ce ne frega niente

Se fossimo evoluti capiremmo come vivere senza dominare,rispettare altri popoli, nutrire ed amare, la terra e gli animali e la foresta e sapere che non si deve uccidere per mangiare, mangiare, il povero a noi questo piace, Ma da altre culture dobbiamo solo imparare! Dittatori, assassini ingordi vi auguro soltanto la morte fascisti Schifosi!

Siberia, Congo, Rojava altre foreste,
tutto attorno e' fuoco!
Aborto illegale, diritti violati
non ci resta che poco!
antifascismo illegale
Populismo diffuso
yes we are welcome to hell!

TO LISTEN TO THE COVER AS 1 OF THE 4 SONGS OF THE TAPE  ALREADY

- https://matrakattakkcrust.bandcamp.com/album/split-tape-with-global-horror

il vero volto del capitalismo (the real face of capitalism)

ci hanno preso il pesce e lasciato le lische
ci hanno preso il rame e lasciato le pietre
ci hanno preso le pecore, ci hanno preso l'olio
sono ingrassati, saccheggiando il suolo

ogni anno 15 milioni di bambini muoiono di fame,
poverta' e malattie, e gli unici colpevoli sono
i paesi occidentali imperialisti
e le loro avide corporazioni

ci hanno preso il bestiame ci hanno preso il suolo
non ci hanno lasciato niente da mangiare
ci hanno ordinato caffe' invece che mais
i nostri figli stanno morendo di fame prima di nascere

costruito strade e porti (per) saccheggiarci piu veloce
hanno creato separatismo per separarci
e adesso dicono che 2 di noi bastano
per salvare il mondo dalla distruzione ecologica
