Here comes a dark and melodic album that finally brings hope and
light to the stagnating world of goth music: "This Clear
Shining" by RAZORFADE!
An aptly titled debut album of such high maturity that this new
band could only be hiding experienced musicians! Featuring ex-
members of SUSPIRIA and IKON, RAZORFADE reveals a dark
electronic sound approach whilst still incorporating atmospheric
guitar and vocals reminiscent of the pair's previous projects.
Sombre, catchy, danceable anthems share similarities with bands
like VNV NATION, CLAN OF XYMOX or even ASSEMBLAGE 23. "This
Clear Shining" is an album that encompasses different styles,
ranging from those aimed at squarely at the dancefloor, such as
"Chemical Distraction", "Shout Down" and "Breathe", to slower,
more introspective songs like "Fear Is Rising", "The Razor
Fades" and "A Push Away from Falling". But whatever the style of
the song it is always underpinned by melody. Whether driven by
the music or the by the vocals, there is a genuine melodic feel
to the album.
Mark Tansley, who was a pioneer of UK alternative music in the
1990s and was at the forefront of integrating electronic sounds
into the goth scene with his cult band SUSPIRIA, is not one to
dwell on the past, and the music he has written for RAZORFADE is
another giant leap forward! Add to this the pensive lyrics and
deep vocal styling of Clifford Ennis and you'll quickly
understand why this band should appeal to fans of dark
alternative, goth and electronic music alike. RAZORFADE are
effectively reinterpreting alternative electronic music for
those with a darker side by blending influences from the
alternative 1980s new wave and gothic rock movements with
current electro sounds.
On "This Clear Shining" RAZORFADE write about distorted truths,
wasted lives, and unwinnable wars. They translate their huge
emotional outpouring into sinister melodic tunes, by
successfully blending electronic music with dark
alternative/goth, the outcome being music which sits perfectly
in the middle of both genres, promisingly described by
journalists as a 'brilliant melodic melange of the SISTERS OF
MERCY and DEPECHE MODE'!
This limited edition carton box version of the album also
contains the bonus disc "Re-Shining" including special club,
