Album Review

BOW EVER DOWN was recognized as best unsigned band in 2004 by Asleep by Dawn Magazine and has also been featured on Asleep by Dawn / Hot Topic compilations alongside Skinny Puppy, Ministry, Unheilig, Iris and more. The release ‘The product of my pain’ is their debut and in my opinion it’s full of nice and catchy songs. There are definitely some tracks which could be placed in a DJ-Set in clubs or whatever. It’s not that BOW EVER DOWN reinvented the wheel, in fact good OLD (!!!) Crüxshadows were brought to your mind with a glimpse of Inkubbus Sukkubus due to Kimberley Kornmeier’s voice. The cover of Blondie’s ‘Heart of Glass’ is really successful, so that you damn sure go for more. Their label tries to describe: “Rich, introspective female vocals merged with strong electro beats and hooks that are unforgettable. EBM, trance, and industrial, all with a melodic, emotional edge.” Well, there’s nothing more to say!
