Biography

Croydon, England (1999 – present)

1.)It started in Croydon, England in the year of 1999. The dust in the room began to dance & bask in the amber glow from the valves as the amps began to rumble into life. Adding the battery gave life to the monolith whilst the soothing tones of the voice healed the wounds from the bludgeon. Light from the blocked out windows cast shadows across the walls, the haze only adding to the core of the sound as the aural mantra continued. The constant tapping of the rain outside only added to the rhythm & flow, not a heavy downpour but a constant nonetheless, mixing with the evening sun to cast a kaleidescope of colours sprawling through the air. The River flows onwards…

    I don't really know what to say about this, there's something unusual, and I can not recognize what makes me feel like I don't really want to listen to this, there's something I can not tell what is it in the music, and the vocal is kinda weird.. anyway, I'm still for an unknown reason listening to this band and trying to figure what the hell it is..

    'Cause disco is the sound of apocalyptic doom & gloom.

    Exactly what Tom and ALWC just said below.

    Yeah, there's definitely something very reminiscent of 90s alt-rock in their sound (I'd compare it to bands like Garbage more than Kittie, though), and I also think it's mostly the vocals, though I feel like there's something else in the music I can't quite put my finger on which also gives that feel. I like that element too, myself- it actually goes a lot better with this kind of doom metal than one might think, and even though I don't listen to 90s alt-rock anymore it's a sound that invokes nostalgic memories for me...

    The vocals make it sound a lot like Kittie or 90s female fronted metal/rock bands generally. Don't get me wrong I really dig it! I think its a great sound especially combined with the doom.

    To those saying this is boring/monotonous, maybe you should be listening to prog. or something rather than doom. GROW UP [3]
