LE TUNNEL DE L'ENFER - A Tribute To Daylight - Reviewed by Metal Digest ! Check it out here at this link: https://metal-digest.com/2022/04/10/le-tunnel-de-lenfer-a-tribute-to-daylight-ep/

From Lille, France comes Le Tunnel De L’enfer (the tunnel of Hell.) Their first EP is an homage to the Sylvester Stallone movie ‘Daylight.’ Yes, you read that correctly. I would have gone for ‘Cliffhanger,’ myself, but that’s for another day. ‘Daylight’ features French audio snippets of the film and is less than seven minutes of no-nonsense Punk mayhem, taking itself seriously (almost) zero percent of the time. Judging from their choice of subject matter, could you expect otherwise? Over the Top album cover aside, (see what I did there?) this EP is the result of Covid lockdowns and the perseverance of seasoned musicians. And also, a peek into their respective other bands.

‘Daylight’ is a fast and furious, gone in sixty seconds, blink and you’ll miss it, good time. Without factoring in the (let’s be honest) silly backstory, ‘Daylight’ is first-rate Hardcore Punk. Full of spit and piss, ultra-tight and fast fast fast. And bonus: if you listen closely, you’ll be regaled with a bit of social commentary, true to Punk form. In that regard, ‘Daylight’ deserves closer attention.

Le Tunnel De L’enfer isn’t out to change the world. Do you think someone that based an EP on a second-rate Stallone flick seriously donne deux merdes? Highly doubtful. In the time it takes you to brew your morning coffee, you can thoroughly enjoy this little gem…twice. Just be thankful they didn’t do ‘Expendables 3’. Metal Digest

Le Tunnel de l’Enfer is a fast punk band formed in Lille (France), featuring members from Stupid Karate, Gummo and Supermodel Stitches. They were formed with the idea of paying tribute to the action movies they grew up with. Their first EP was composed and recorded in late 2021, it is a tribute to the movie Daylight. It was released on January 24th on Minga Records in vinyl and digital format.

Their influences range from fast punk, hardcore, punk-rock and grind. The bands that influence them the most are Limp Wrist, Suicidal Tendencies, NOFX and Coke Bust.

This group is in some ways a product of the Covid-19 pandemic. The songs were composed without any member of the band rehearsing together. Everything was done by messaging and video conference. And this until the recording.

The next step is to compose and record a second EP, paying tribute to another movie.
