1. VII is a french rapper. He began his career in 1995, and created his label (Sonatine Musique) 7 years later. His first album "Lettre Morte" was released in 2005, and helped him establish the french horrorcore. His style is a mix of deviant and dark lyrics and references from horror movies and pop culture. In 2008 the label ended, so he created a new one "rap & Revenge" with which he wil release his second album "Les jardins macabres" which is even darker than the first one. Since then he has released 7 solo albums, an album with LittleDemo, and a Split EP with the metal band Eight Sins. In 2013 he helped producing a band called 1984 (in reference of the Orwell's book). They released "Le théâtre des pantins" and "Atrophie". His last album is an effort to switch a bit from his usual range of topics. On it he still keep a dark approach but with lyrics less raw and more politically aimed. He's often called the "french Necro" and has also writed a book called "Les fleurs de Lazarre" which can be found on his website. 2.
