Violent, cantankerous, transgressive, provocative, metal music has been accompanying the life of its dedicated fans for 50 years. Often banished from radio and TV, openly despised by the critics and actively fought by its detractors, metal has managed to survive. Between continuous transformations and unflinching faithfulness to its roots, it has become more than a mere musical genre, a true way of life. This book explores its history and analyses the reasons for this worldwide success. Questioning metal’s practices, public and cultural references, it outlines the picture in movement of an ever-evolving culture.

The infectious passion of the author who has been involved in the metal scene for more than twenty-five years does not preclude a hard-look towards its darker facets and the excess they have inspired.

Theorized by the Situationist International in the 1950’s, detournement (also known as satirical parody), is a form of creativity which uses hidden knowledge and flirts with the absurd.

Nowadays, in the 2.0 era, amateurs and artists can easily adapt famous art works and play with them. This subversive art is part of our daily basis and it continues to conquer new territories and formats.

Major pieces of art and pop icons are reviewed through a mix of nostalgic fetishism and an ironic wrecking. Through 6 chapters and over 20 portraits, this book explores the universe of subversive art and its creators: those who work with unseen comparisons, manipulation, metaphors… Artists who break the codes and demystify iconic art works or elements of pop culture; those who play with words, reappropriate public spaces, disrupt reality and change ordinary objects into a dream…

KEY POINTS A powerful account on the path towards resilience and rebirth.

Troukens goes over his career as an ex-con with a lot of sincerity and explains how he got out if it thanks to writing.

Release in December of his 1st film “Tueurs” and a graphic novel inspired by his life published by Le Lombard in November.

SOCIETY

François Troukens was born in the 1970s. He was raised in the countryside and received a good education. He showed good results in music. A compulsive reader, there was no TV at home and his intellectual education was above average. But this lifestyle imposed by his parents created some frustration and for Troukens a desire for social revenge. At the age of 23, he was hired as a cash escort. After observing its operations, he proceeded with his first stunt: he stole the money he was escorting by faking a robbery. It was the beginning of his con “career” which was only going to grow, and make him Belgium’s number one public enemy. Smart, meticulous, he organized his robberies just like in the movies, making sure everything was perfect.

After being arrested in the late 1990s, he escaped in 1997 and was on the run for 7 years! He was arrested in 2004 in Paris, sent back to Belgium for a 19 year prison sentence.

When Troukens was on the run, he met people from the film industry and different comic book authors, and even opened his own comic book publishing house. This was the beginning of his path towards resilience. He shot his first film, Tueurs, staring Olivier Gourmet, which was selected at the 2017 Venice Mostra out of competition, and which is to be released in France in December 2017 and across Europe.

HUMOUR

Sebastian Marx: “Often people ask me why I came to France. I tell them that like most Americans, I’m in France to not work. I’m here to live out the French Dream which is five weeks paid vacation, really cheap health care and the liberty to sit out on the terrace of a cafe, and bad-mouthing all the people walking by. But Parisians and New Yorkers are very similar because we are both convinced that we are living in the greatest city in the world. But we think that for different reasons. Paris is the best because it is the most beautiful where New York is the best because it’s “the best”. It’s true that in Paris, the aesthetic is everywhere; where the most aesthetic thing in New York is the Statue of Liberty. And it was a present from the French! New Yorkers didn’t know what to do with it so they put it out on a remote Island lost in the harbor.”
