Metal School - Sortilege

French metal band Sortilege was originally formed in 1980. They wouldn't be together very long overall but would release two albums in the mid-80s that showcase some excellent French metal. The awesome musicianship and outstanding vocals apparently couldn't help Sortilege break into the US, despite recording English versions of their albums. Sortilege broke up in 1986 but vocalist Christian "Zouille" Augustine has put together a new lineup as of 2020, with new material on the way!
