Doctor Livingstone where a band from France that played an experimental mixture of black metal, crust and hardcore punk and this is a review of their 2008 album "Notes Du Paradis - Whoop Whoop Wee Wee" which was re-issued in 2025 by Coups de Couteau.
A very heavy and brutal crust punk sound starts off the album along with a great amount of blast b eats. Vocals are mostly blackened metal screams while the songs also mix in a lot of hardcore elements as well as all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them.
A lot of the tracks are also very short in length while the solos and leads are also done in a very chaotic style. At times the music also gets very experimental sounding along with the album also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, spoken words can also be heard on a couple of tracks.
Some of the faster riffing also adds in a good amount of tremolo picking along with some melodies also being introduced into the riffs as the album progresses, one track is also an instrumental and all of the music also sticks to a heavier direction. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in French and cover Dadaism and the writings of Marquis De Sade, Schopenhauer and Cioran.
In my opinion Doctor Livingstone where a very great sounding experimental mixture of black metal, crust and hardcore punk and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Et Notre Bon Dieu Veilla Sur Nous" "You And Gangrene" "Lies, Lies, Lies" and "Phényléthylamine". 8 out of 10.
