Dygitals were
formed in 1984, by vocalist Hervé Traisnel. They rapidly
garnered a reputation as a rock-solid live band, which lead to a busy touring
schedule, opening for well-known acts, performing at prestigious festivals and
establishing a large fan following which remained loyal over three decades. In
1986 Dygitals ranked among the top ten of French rock bands in
Enfer, an influential magazine that at the time was considered to be the
national oracle of heavy metal.
Originally
playing hard rock not unlike groups like Iron
Maiden and Accept, by 1988 they had
absorbed influences from American bands like Bon Jovi, and Los
Angeles based acts such as Ratt and Mötley
Crüe, resulting in a unique transatlantic metal mixture. Their change
of style fortuitously resulted in Dygitals being invited to
play several clubs in Los Angeles, including not only the
infamous Whiskey A Go Go, but also Gazzarri’s,
a nightclub on the Sunset Strip, where The
Doors and Van Halen were featured house bands for long
stretches before being discovered. In the end Dygitals ended up
touring the US for the rest of the year, returning to France
early 1989, to a heroes welcome.
In
the meantime – after having recorded reels and reels of demos, they also release
their debut album. The euphoria didn’t last, and by late
1990 Dygitals packed it in beaten by the worldwide onslaught of
Grunge. Sporadic reunions
in 2003 and 2005 resulted in the albums
“2003” and “Imagine”.
Late 2009 there were signs of serious renewed interest from
both fans and media and Hervé decided to reform Dygitals. After
a few months of vigorous rehearsals, they were of to a flying start, soon
settling back into a busy touring schedule before signing to Brennus
Records and releasing the album “Avé”, in
October 2012.
Now
in 2015 they are back stronger thank ever with the new album
“Dynamite“.
