The synthpop/dark electro hybrid project tEaR!doWn was born right in the
middle of the past decade in Northern Germany. Heavily influenced by
seminal North American acts such as Skinny Puppy, Frontline Assembly and
Mentallo and the Fixer, the band experimented with various electronic
musical instruments and gradually developed their signature sound. In
late 2006, Oliver Spring, the former front man of Sleepwalk, joined the
crew and added his powerful voice to tEaR!doWn tunes. From 2008
onwards, tEaR!doWn have played live shows in Germany and Switzerland on a
regular basis and continually refined their sound. “Clouds Cover The
Sun” is the culmination of 6 years of blood, sweat and tears. The band’s
unique blend of synthpop and dark electro masterfully shifts from hard
mid and up-temp grooves to beautifully crafted atmospheric undertones,
all of this enriched by Spring’s slightly distorted vocals.
