Pride And Fall - Violence

2007-01-24 / apeiron / Reads: 6438

I am not sure whether I get the idea of the Norwegian band right (or maybe it's more their label's idea?). It seems (to me) that "Violence In Me" was chosen to be the herald of Pride and Fall's second achievement - the album entitled "Elements of Silence"....

Harvest Rain - Night's Glow

2007-01-21 / apeiron / Reads: 4736

The newest album of Harvest Rain in spite of its name neither heats the atmosphere nor the listener. The Thompkins brothers show their own vision of new wave cold music on the album. Yes, the associations with Joy Division and The Cure ( the beginnings) are highly probable...

Delerium - Karma

MS Word automatically corrects the band's name to "Delirium". This procedure is a hint at the atmosphere of this album.

The fact that the band Statemaschine – where Rick and Leo played - recorded too many good tracks was the immediate reason why the band LOWE was formed in 2002. They didn't want to loose the valuable material, so they started the new band. The duo Jörgen "Leo" Josefsson (vocal/guitar)...

Pride And Fall - Nephesh v2.0

2007-01-12 / apeiron / Reads: 6607

Due to the success of the Norwegian Pride and Fall's second LP ("Elements Of Silence"), their label decided to reissue their debut CD "Nephesh" with an extra "2" to mark the difference arising from the modified content. The seventh track on the reissued version is "Construct" substituting "Delusion". Additionally, we...
