Sister Iodine

Sister Iodine is a French noise rock trio formed in the early 1990s by guitarists Lionel Fernandez and Erik Minkkinen, with Nicolas Mazet joining soon after. The band started from New York no wave and later absorbed black metal, industrial noise and electronics, and it is known for intense live shows. Sister Iodine opened for Sonic Youth at the Zénith in Paris, after which the line-up settled as a trio. The debut ADN 115 came out on Semantic in 1994, and Pause followed on Zeitgeist, an imprint of Semantic. Helle came out on Textile, then Flame Desastre, Meth (on Premier Sang) and Blame.
