There are 2 bands with the name Adept: the first band is the Swedish post-hardcore band Adept, the other one is the Dutch noiseband Adept.

1.There’s something about small-town Sweden that inspires young bands to develop a melodic language which is as unmistakable as it is infectious. The relatively small country in northern Europe is a region renowned for spawning metal and hardcore talent which is admired around the world for their unique ability to make remarkable, lasting music. What is it about northern boredom that inspires such melodic and heavy creativity?

Adept is the archetypal example of a Swedish band who carries the tradition of gifted melodicism and high-impact hardcore onwards, but has enough urban connection to feel fresh, vital and who can relate to the strife most people struggle with. The imminent follow-up to the seriously triumphant EP “The rose will decay” (2006) is basically a full-on musical and emotional catharsis from a band which has reached a serious fanbase seemingly effortless.

But with “Another year of disaster” (2009), efforts are turned to a new max. Unserious has become ambitious, because with the debut album in tow, Adept has come to realize the music and the band’s ever rising star is worth taking seriously. After two years of extensive domestic touring and song crafting, Adept give us a well-crafted album rooted in hardcore and metal but with pop sensibilities that is thankfully devoid of pretentious, wacky subgenres. You know: math-post-nu-whatever. Forget about that crap. This is a collection of songs which are sublimely honest and straight-forward, but not without its own trademark and unexpected quirks.
