After changing their name from Blood Wave to Sortilège, the classic lineup-Christian Augustin InchZouilleInch (vocals), Daniel Lapp (bass), Jean-Philippe InchBob SnakeInch Dumont (drums), Didier Demajean (guitar), and Stéphane Dumont (guitar)-recorded their self-titled debut EP for the Dutch tag Rave-On Records in 1983.
