Draft:Shaârghot

Shaârghot is a French industrial metal band from Paris. It was created by videographer Étienne Bianchi in 2011. Its name means "the one who brings chaos."

Shaârghot's stage aesthetic and music videos portray a post-WWIII cyberpunk universe where the members of Shaârghot are violent artificial creations with jet black skin.
