Ulterium\/Sound Pollution<\/p>\n
END OF SEPTEMBER started out in 2009. Formed by guitarist\/vocalist Erik Tordsson, who\u00b4s got a past in both heavy and extreme metal, a demo was made with former vocalist Victoria Sundberg. A deal with Ulterium was secured, but Victoria left, and a 2 year hiatus commenced. In 2011 Elin Redin was attached to the line-up, now consisting of Erik, Victoria, and bass player Johan N\u00f6jd and drummer Johan Svensson. END OF SEPTEMBER recently played J\u00f6nk\u00f6ping\u00b4s Zaragon Rock Club as support to AMARANTHE, which I missed. How good are they in the studio?<\/p>\n
As most female fronted bands they lean towards EVANESCENCE, and the sound has more than a modern touch. My player started with track four, \u201cExile\u201d, for some reason, that wasn\u00b4t flattering for the band. The keys are a redeeming fact, but the guitar sound is oddly desert dry for three tracks. It\u00b4s strange concerning that the bandleader slash guitarist has been handling both mixing and mastering. \u201cExile\u201d, \u201cInner Voice\u201d and Left in This World\u201d are not material to conquer the world, neither is the pleasant but anonymous \u201cAutumn Breaks\u201d or the very basic \u201cA Place to Go\u201d. On the plus side we have \u201cFallen\u201d, that sounds like a different band at times, and the beauty and the beast duet \u201cWaiting for the Rain\u201d. The latter could really take the band places, if it wasn\u00b4t so alone. I must also mention \u201cSilence\u201d as an asset for the band. The refrain is substantial, there is pace and force, as well as the spirited keyboards. But as a whole, this is far too uneven.<\/p>\n
