Many of you may have noticed a lot of rare french stuff being posted here lately from a user called Hughrunic. Hugh where the drummer of the french band Rünic who where active in the late 80's. Rünic where from Lyon, Rhône-Alpes and released a couple of demos between 1988-1989, I got Hugh's permission to put them up here so you all can check them out. Enjoy!.
Info on Rünic:
Late 1987 in Lyon, The drummer Hugh places an advertisement in the local to seek a band. Franck, bassist (and graphic designer - also the creator of all Runic's artwork/covers), responds. Hugh and Franck begins to form a sound and image for the project. As they both where fans of role playing and heroic fantasy, they opt for a music-style that was heavy and epic. They start looking for guitarists, Janfi and JC arrived shortly thereafter.
In a room of the 9th district of Lyon, Rünic where working several months to develop a directory that would be convincing. Before the summer of 1988, Flo was recruited on vocals and in September Runic performs their first concert in a small space in Lyonnaise. After some time in the studio the band finished their first demo "Remember."
The group would give two more concerts in Lyons in early 1989 before Flo later left the group to be replaced by Paul. Paul was the former drummer of the US band XYZ and had participated in the recording of the group's debut EP. Two concerts of this new formation are given in the fall of 1989 and a second demo "Heros" are recorded. Unfortunately, changing the singer would be a big change in their music and the original spirit goes away. The band would broke up permanently by the end of 1989. - Written by Hugh (in French!, this is just a translation)
