Trust
Aggressive French hard rock with a punk heart. Gritty, politically charged anthems that bridge the gap between AC/DC's groove and Iron Maiden's percussive power.

Trust is arguably the most important hard rock entity in French history, emerging in 1977 as a bridge between the dying embers of punk and the rising tide of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Founded by guitarist Norbert Krief and vocalist Bernie Bonvoisin, the band's identity is defined by a unique synthesis of AC/DC-inspired boogie-rock and fierce social-political lyricism.
Their cultural footprint is anchored by the hit 'Antisocial', which became a cross-generational anthem of defiance and was later popularized globally via a cover by Anthrax. Historically, the band is a crucial node in the metal family tree, having featured both Nicko McBrain and Clive Burr before their tenures in Iron Maiden. Their sound is characterized by Krief's technical but soulful guitar work and Bonvoisin's gravelly, protest-oriented vocals. Despite multiple breakups and reformations, Trust remains a symbol of French cultural resistance, maintaining a reputation for uncompromising live performances and a refusal to soften their political edge for commercial appeal.
