"Le Bal Des Ardents" is a mini-LP reissue of a strange cassette based on the terrifying historical event about the French King Charles VI the day of January 28th 1393, where he escaped from a fire caused by a torch during a masked ball, a tragedy which sank him into madness soon after. The main theme of this record is to try to recall Charles VI's hallucinations, torments and craziness reflected through the magic of the tarot card and, probably, psychotropics.

The completely unknown 80's industrial group Le Bal Des Ardents released this obscure document on tape in 1987 in a private edition. Musically, it is inspired by the "Seven Up" album of Ash Ra Tempel with Timothy Leary, and influenced, at that time, by the music of Einstürzende Neubauten, Throbbing Gristle, Zoviet France and especially SPK. Enigmatic, vivid and dark.
