Dear Friends,
I have decided to open this thread in order to present some of the best Rock bands I have encountered and experienced through my years in the international Rock circuit. I would love to share the following talented artists and their music with you. (Please note that I do not listen to comercial/pop music - All of the following Rock bands are only well known in the underground Rock scene - worldwide. I am in no way affiliated with any of these bands/artists listed here. My sole interest is only their music - they deserve it) FYI: I only listen to talented and cultured artists.
The following Rock Bands do come from my personal CD collection: (Some of these titles are avilable in Malta others through the internet e-stores. If you are interested in obtaining any of these titles pm me and I can direct you where to get CD's at a very low prices - usually under LM5.00 including VAT - packaging & postage)
Here goes the list: (Most of these bands do hail from EVROPA)
KLIMT1918 - http://www.klimt1918.com/ (http://www.klimt1918.com/)
This is one of those romatic Italian rock bands, formed in 1999. The musical influences can be indicated with the Swedish and English Avantgarde Metal (Anathema, Opeth, Edge of Sanity, Katatonia), the 80'ies Wave (The Cure, U2 - early years, Police, Japan, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, The Smiths) and The Beatles (years 1967 - 1970). This is one of the most bands that I do listen on a daily basis.
CROWHEAD - http://www.crowhead.com/ (http://www.crowhead.com/)
It all started around 1999 that Jo-Inge Slangsvold and Øyvind (Rym) Trinborg initiated the Norwegian project CROWHEAD. CROWHEAD's sound appeal to a rather wide audience from the Depressive Gothic listeners, to the Dark-wave fans, through any Modern Dark Electronic lover.
Forgotten Sunrise - http://www.forgottensunrise.com/ (http://www.forgottensunrise.com/)
Forgotten Sunrise was born in the summer of `92. Forgotten Sunrise sound is a mixture of styles such as trip-hop, breakbeat, techno, ebm, synthpop, shoegaze, industrial, jazz etc.
Rain Paint - http://www.rainpaint.cjb.net/
Rain Paint was born in a very strange way, back in winter 2002. These guys hail from Finland. There muis can be described as a fantastic reality made by abrasive guitars, sad melodies, liquid atmospheres... in a few words a true masterpiece of Intense Emotional Art.
Plane E - http://www.plan-e-tarium.com/ PLAN E started as an instrumental project in May 1995.
Room With A View - http://www.clubepoque.cjb.net/ (http://www.clubepoque.cjb.net/)
Rome is living a very special day. Welcome to the "Room With A View" world, a street theatre where puppets and clowns play tag and where, between a waltz step and a dream, you can travel from Trieste to Stalingrad to Salonika. There music is filled with emotions, suggestions and melodies in rapid succession, evoking the cadence of old crank little organ, in a timeless record, full of black and white snapshots.
DEINONYCHUS - http://www.deinonychus.net/ (http://www.deinonychus.net/)
Hailing from the Italian penisola, Marco Kehren is the main songwriter and composer in that dark creature called DEINONYCHUS. This is one of my fave bands that I have ever listen to. His music can be described as a real apocalyptic soundtrack of pain.
Svarrogh - http://www.svarrogh.de.vu/ (http://www.svarrogh.de.vu/)
The music of Svarrogh is Bitov Bulgarian NeoFolk Black/Death Metal with many elements of other music styles. The term Bitov is given because of the ancient, folklore topics within the music. Bitov can be translated as "Old, homeland music, traditional, folklore, bulgarian mountain life-style". The bulgarian music elements are shown by the Kaval Flute and by the Kaba Gaida (bulgarian Bagpipe). Most guitar arrangements and also some songstructures are influenced by typical bulgarian folklore arrangements.
Luna Ad Noctum - http://www.lunaadnoctum.metal.pl/ (http://www.lunaadnoctum.metal.pl/)
Luna Ad Noctum was founded in 1998 when four members: Adrian Nefarious – bass/ vocals, Tomas Infamous – guitars, Dragor Born In Flames – drums, Noctivagus – keyboards, decided to unite in Lunar covenant. Right from the start you are thrown into a blackened frenzy of razor-sharp guitars, spiteful hellish vocals, apocalyptic drumming, swathed in creeping synths. One of the greast bands that ever came out of Poland.
Advent - http://www.adventcomes.it/ (http://www.adventcomes.it/)
The band was formed towards the end of 1998 in Italy. Advent plays a refreshing blend of atmospheric black metal and progressive death metal, resulting in a unique sound. The vocals are a good mix of growls, screams and a good strong clean voice, whilst the guitar work and song structuring is technical and inventive. In my opioion Advent are one of those greast bands that ever came out of the penisola.
Flyswatter - http://www.flyswatter.de/ (http://www.flyswatter.de/)
Flyswatter hail from Germany but you could easily assume they came from New Jersey or Texas in the US due to their blend of powerful rock and poppy hardcore. Flyswatter are sure to help bring the alternative scene the attention it deserves with their unarguable integrity but downright unforgettable, accessible songs. Uplifting, melodious riffs, intelligent, direct rhythms and a soaring, catchy vocal make for a touching, driving album. Jimmy may have eaten the World but they couldn't digest Flyswatter who are more than a match for them!
Crosstide - http://www.crosstide.net/ (http://www.crosstide.net/)
Crosstide began sometime in the late 90's as a side project for 4 high school students. Crosstide's music as having the power of Sunny Day Real Estate and Texas is the Reason with the accessibility, and musicianship of Radiohead and Muse. While this may be a flattering description, it does point to some of the band's primary influences.
Rydell - http://www.rydell.co.uk/ (http://www.rydell.co.uk/)
Rydell formed in the late nineties in UK. Rydell's sound has evolved over the years but comparisons are often drawn with the likes of older GET UP KIDS for the pop element, CAP'N JAZZ for the chaos, BRAID for the indie-rock.
Cornflames - http://www.cornflames.be/ (http://www.cornflames.be/)
When Cornflames released their debut cd "…Tonight, soon or forever" back in 2000, both press, concert organisers and musicfans immediatly fell in love with this talented emorock/popnoise outfit. Their mature sound, existing out of guitardriven melodies and passionate chorusses in combination with a great gift for songwriting, impressed a whole lot of people in and outside of Belgium. Don't miss them while they rock your neighbourhood…
BRAINLESS WANKERS - http://www.brainlesswankers.de/ (http://www.brainlesswankers.de/)
Rock, not Resignation! Trumpet-fueled Punk Rock from Berlin. Germany in the year 2004. A small punk rock band from Berlin don’t stop transforming kicks in the teeth into musical creativity and spitting it back into the face of the numbed public. On this mission, the 7 guys of the BRAINLESS WANKERS use a mercilessly direct songwriting producing catchy and individual tunes without falling into the trap of interchangeability.
Andthewinneris - http://www.atwi.de/ (http://www.atwi.de/)
"the godfathers of German emo" Their music spurrs filigree-clear vocals meet guitars fuelled bypowerchords and intelligent licks, while the whole thing is pushedfurther by the tight rhythm section of bass and drums. One of the best rock bands that I have ever heard.
Well I hope that you'll enjoy some of these artists that I have introduced.
Kind regards,
Abramortiis
