Razorfade - This Clear Shining
Here comes a dark and melodic album that finally brings hope and light to a stagnating dark goth music world: "This Clear Shining" by RAZORFADE! An aptly titled debut album of such high maturity that this new band could only be hiding experienced musicians! Featuring ex-members of SUSPIRIA and IKON, RAZORFADE reveals a dark electronic sound approach whilst still incorporating atmospheric guitar and vocals reminiscent of the pair’s previous projects.
Sombre, catchy and danceable anthems share similarities with bands like VNV NATION, CLAN OF XYMOX or yet ASSEMBLAGE 23. On "This Clear Shining" RAZORFADE write about distorted truths, wasted lives, and unwinnable wars. They translate their huge emotional outpouring into sinister melodic tunes by successfully blending electronic music with dark alternative/goth, the outcome being music which sits perfectly in the middle of both genres and got promisingly described by journalists as the brilliant melodic melange of SISTERS OF MERCY and DEPECHE MODE! The album will also be released as a limited carton box edition with the bonus disc "Re-shining" including special club, radio or extended versions, bonus songs as well as a few exclusive remixes.
Released on Alfa matrix and available November 19th, 2010.
