Pride And Fall - Red For The Dead-Black For The Mourning

2016-08-09 (News)

Here comes Pride And Fall's fifth album "Red For The Dead - Black For The Mourning". Three Norwegians - Sigve Monsen (vocals), Per Waagen (keyboards, programming) and Svein-Joar Johnsen (guitar) finally realize the album they had on their minds after many trials and tribulations. On "Red For The Dead - Black For The Mourning" the sound is dark and heavy. On their new record they manage to enhance their forceful music with a sadness otherwise atypical for the electro scene. As the title suggests, there's a certain sentimentality to the songs, which range from restrained dance hits with contrastingly weighty sequences as ‚Broken Men', ‚Angel At The Pillar', ‚Pale', across the melancholic title track to the nine-minute epic ‚The Sentiment Was False'. All compositions impress with captivating choruses thanks to the fabulous performance of front man Monsen, whose vocal lines are urgently catchy. In this way, the trio proves that it has only improved on its strengths throughout the years - and true class. The album is  co-produced by Krischan Wesenberg (Rotersand) and Christer Andre Cederberg (Tristania, Anathema).

German Gothic rockers Letzte Instanz is one of the country’s most important ambassadors for ambitious artistic impression. Unlike groups such as Rammstein, Letzte Instanz don’t rely on brute force, but give the listener food for thought - wrapped in a tasteful environment of guitar, bass, drums, violin and cello. No matter if you call it rock, alternative or gothic: the band has established a very unique sound.

Lacrimas Profundere - Hope is Here

2016-08-06 (News)

With their singular mix of melancholy and Gothic paired with rock and metal influences from each of the band members, Lacrimas Profundere set a milestone in harder Goth rock since 2004, toured 29 countries (from Europe to Japan, Russia to China...) and sold more than 100’000 records.
For the new album the band allowed themselves 3 years, and the final result reflects this! Indeed: with "Hope is Here" the guys drag you out of your comfortable world, deep into a forest – to a boy named Aramis drifting through the dark trees, alone, forsaken, outcast, because he’s not like other people. That’s a summary of the concept – but there’s plenty more to come...
