EVEREVE
"The release of a split CD in 1994 features, besides the band Parracide,
an up until then unknown band named EverEve from southern Germany.
This line – up consists of Tom Sedotschenko ( voc.), Stephan Kiefer (guit.),
Thorsten Weissenberger (guit.), Stefan Müller ( bass), Marc Werner ( dr.)
and Michael Zeissl ( keys).
Guitarplayer Thorsten came up with the idea of taking the name EverEve
from J.R.R. Tolkkien’s “Lord of the Rings .â€
After the next demo “ Songs of....â€, Nuclear Blast signs the group and
releases the official debut “ Seasons†in 1997. “ Seasons†already melts
down a wide variety of independent area music. Responsible to some big
extend for this are clever arranged, touching melodies as well as Tom’s
eccentric vocals, expressing all his emotions vocally with human and
non – human aggressive screaming sounds all the way to melodic, soft
and hurtful melodies. On an extensive European tour with Amorphis the
guys proof that they are able to reproduce all of this live.
In the end of 1997 the band’s rehearsal space completely burns down incl.
all of their equipment. The exact cause remains somewhat of a mystery to
this day. This, of course, was no reason to not keep working on the following
album “ Stormbirds†and to show EverEve is not some “ One Hit Wonderâ€
band, but rather became more creative and mature. Together with the
Barmbecker Symphony Orchestra and guest - vocal appearances by York
Eysel of Love Like Blood, the album takes you on a ride exploring deep
depression, inner fears and a very interesting, experimental stage of the
group. In support of this album EverEve hit the road with Crematory for a
couple of month, touring some of the same cities as before and gaining more
exposure again in other places outside of Germany as well.
Back from the tour there is no time to waste and the process of songwriting
for the third album has begun already. In January of 1999 EverEve and Tom
Sedotschenko officially part ways, to everyone’s surprise. Difficulties such as
not being able to work together anymore, because of different interests on both
sides, leave them no choice. Since it’s the bands interest to keep on moving as
fast as possible and Tom demonstrating the exact opposite by not showing up
for rehearsals etc., auditions are being held to find a replacement. At first,
rumor has it that Dan Swanö ( Nightingale, Unicorn, Edge of Sanity etc.) would
join the band, which the two parties actually discussed at some point, but never
went any further. With Benjamin Richter the guys finally found someone to at
least work on the new stuff in the studio and realize their third CD together. So
far so good. Suddenly the news about Tom’s suicide in May, reaches the band
and just shocks everyone completely.
Despite of this awkward situation, “ Regret†is being released in September of 1999..."
