Who would have dared to hope that there would ever again be an album which unites melancholy sadness and rock sounds in such an absolutely perfect and catchy fashion? Many years after the legendary album 'Razorblade Romance' from HIM, now ZEROMANCER put out an album which simply takes one's breath away. So full of beauty, so full of melancholy and yet so full of unbridled rock power. With 'Sinners International', the lads from the north proved that they had once more recaptured the essence of their own debut. Radiant, vibrant and beguiling. Shimmering, fascinating and mysterious. 'The Death of Romance' rises out of the darkness like the aurora borealis. Back to the beginning and yet at the same time forward-looking. Dark romantic ballads with stunning hooklines in the form of driving, modern industrial rock.
ZEROMANCER are a new and perfect unity of sex, emotion and energy. Rock music is finally once again that which it always should have been. Unaffected and impressive, for girls and boys. The one, with a tear in the eye, is full of yearning; the other goes crazy for the pounding drums and loud electric guitars. Never has one needed to be so little embarrassed about his/her feelings as with this powerful-romantic rock album. 'The Death of Romance' is a flawless construction of sweat-inducing industrial rock and a large dollop of emotion.
Biography
Biography
10 years ago Zeromancer breathed new life into the alternative dark wave scene in Europe. By releasing 'Clone Your Lover' which was written and recorded in Los Angeles they were immediately greeted a much respected place in the scene. A solid proof of this was the GAMA awards they were awarded for best newcomer the same year. Only one year later they spinned their sex, drugs and technology motto into another success. Fronted by the hit singles 'Dr Online' and 'Need You Like A Drug' the 'Eurotrash' album made Zeromancer a household name in the genre. Their reputation as a very special live act with their intense presence and their possessive energy, grew fast and they soon headlined their own European tours.
In 2003 it was time for the enigma of 'ZZYZX'. The title inspired by a mysterious place out in the Californian desert named the last place on earth. Their third album was a cacophony of a more melodic expression. It was packed with energy, whose dark and yet energetic anthems would stir and not just the underground. With this album they built a large fanbase in the alternative scene in America and toured the country coast to coast, moving on to Europe for their biggest tour to date. Zeromancer remains a radiant, seductive light which powerfully rises from the mush of the musical landscape.
