The CNK

A sort-of industrial metal goth rock hair and make-up band (some in the press even used the term ‘boy-band'), the CNK (as of 2008 meaning The Cosa Nostra Klub, previous to that it was Count Nosferatu Komando) released their first album, Ultraviolence Über Alles, in 2002. The CNK's lineup included Nicolas St. Morand (aka Mr. Hreidmarr) of Anorexia Nervosa on vocals, Jean-Sébastien Ogilvy (aka Mr. Henrich Von B) on guitars, Jean-Emmanuel Artfield-Lautrec (aka Mr. Valnoir) of Matastazis on bass, and Sylvain Deslaves (aka Mr. Sylvicious) on drums. Their odd mix of industrial metal, mascara, military uniforms, and desire to exhume the spirit of Wagner was captured for a second time on compact disc when the CNK released album number two, L'Hymne à la Joie, in 2007.
