EFFLORESCE - female fronted Prog-Metal from germany

[guitarrero]

For Fans of Opeth, Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree or similar sounding bands: You might like us! To give you some basic information, check out our press info:

Although Effloresce have only been playing in the current line up since late 2009, the five-piece from Nuremberg/Germany are on their way to establishing a signature sound, boasting heavy guitars, atmospheric mellotron sounds and complex rhythmic patterns. Singer Nicki’s stunning range comprises crystal clear vocals as well as raw death metal growls; however, she also contributes flute sounds to the songs’ more mellow moments. Effloresce’s songs express emotions and mirror the band’s technical capabilities without sacrificing musicality or listenability. Effloresce are also a committed live band and manage to capture their songs’ atmosphere, energy and depth just as much in front of audiences as in the studio. Speaking of which, Effloresce have to date released the three-track EP “Shades of Fate” and are working on a full-length album.

Album-kitchen has been quite busy also lately and we are hitting the studio very very soon! Our recent BLOG-Post says:

"We’ll hit the studio at the end of June, of course starting with drums and working our way along until we have reached the epic vuvuzela choir. ... Additionally, we are quite excited that the mixing and mastering duties will be handled by a not so nameless gentleman, whose identity will not be revealed right now. Nevertheless, we believe that this will rock pretty damn hard."

So guys, the time has come to reveal some details about our debut record "Coma Ghosts". (read the full post at http://www.effloresceonline.com/?p=1281) The amazing Dan Swanö put some of his magic in this record and made it sound awesome, too! You definitely have to check out the video/audio teaser:







here's the press release:

Effloresce to release debut album Coma Ghosts, mixed and mastered by Dan Swanö (Edge of Sanity)

With the release of their first EP Shades of Fate in late 2009, the female-fronted five-piece from Nuremberg/Germany laid the foundation for their distinctive sound, drawing from influences like Dream Theater, Opeth, Epica and Porcupine Tree as well as ’70s prog. February 10, 2012, will now see the release of the band’s debut album Coma Ghosts.

„There’s great playing, very good song writing, and a hell of a vocalist with some impressive chops.“
(www.billsprogblog.com)

For Coma Ghosts, Effloresce worked with Swedish producer legend Dan Swanö to shape an epic sound for their signature elements like intense rhythm work, memorable melodies, organ, flute, and vocalist Nicki’s stunning range from crystal clear vocals to raw death metal growls. Comments guitarist Dave Mola: "Working with the producer of groundbreaking albums like Opeth's Morningrise was a true honor for us and we couldn't be happier with the results!"

„Fans of Dream Theater, Opeth, early Queensryche and Fates Warning should really give this band a listen." (Rating – 87/100)
(www.femmemetal.net)

Comprised of six tracks totaling 54 minutes, Coma Ghosts once again shows the band’s ability to write complex yet catchy material. The tracks range from more mellow songs like the ballad Swimming through Deserts to the more straight-forward metal of Pavement Canvas, right up to their most epic and complex song yet, the 16 minute closing track Shuteye Wanderer. Singer Nicki takes the listener on a nightmarish trip through the bleakest corners of human existence, though there is always a little spark of hope that the soul of each of the songs' protagonists is not lost (yet).
