Biography

If we were to define the music by AEMEN (www.aemen.nl) we would describe it as atmospheric alternative rock with a symphonic undertone. According to the critics, AEMEN plays at the same time a fresh mix of modern guitar rock and sounds of the sixties, slightly referring to Pink Floyd (psychedelic), Kent, Radiohead or even Kula Shaker. It cannot be categorized in any way which may even be its strength.

AEMEN is not only the band’s name, but also the name of an imaginary child who lives in a dreamworld of its own. Her closeness and fantasies about life, nature and death are a source of inspiration for the poetic lyrics. This is the CD’s recurring central theme.

With the first album The day the angels cried, (1997) AEMEN has released a striking debut album. Therefore, the reviews and airplay speak for themselves. ‘OOR musicmagazine’ wrote; one of the most promising bands of 1998 and beyond!’ The title of this CD refers to a dramatic event that took place in a little Scottish town named Dunblane in March 1996, during which sixteen children lost their lives. The titelsong ‘The day the angels cried’ has been released in memory of this tragedy.
The beautiful saxophone solo backed up by a big choir leads you to the emotional finale. Magnificent photo compositions create the atmosphere for the colorful and fascinating 16-page booklet, the text of which are literally written by a child.
