Biography
The story started in winter 2001-2002 as the old friends, after playing in different bands for years, got together and started to play rock with great emotion and lots of fun. The group - loving humour and self-irony - couldn't call itself anything else but Lovex. A few years rolled by, the composition of the band changed frequently and so did the training locales until in 2004 the band eventually found its final shape.
The band broke into public awareness in 2005 as the debut singles "Bleeding" and "Guardian Angel" hit the airplay and sales charts. "Guardian Angel" was one of the most played tracks on air that year and it stayed on the official single charts for as long as 13 weeks. All the singles - "Guardian Angel", "Bleeding", "Anyone Anymore", "Die A Little More", "Remorse" - have made it among the top three in the official single charts in Finland. The successful singles were followed by "Divine Insanity", a debut album fans had eagerly been waiting for. The lyrics and music of the energetic rock pieces of the album are by the band itself. "Divine Insanity", recorded at the Inkfish Studio, was released on 1.3.2006. The album has sold gold, it also stayed on the official album charts for unbelievable 19 weeks.
The band with its catching riffs and melodies as well as energetic live performance aroused interest also in Germany. In December 2006 the German Gun Records signed the band, the very same record label was the initiator of the success HIM made in Germany. "Divine Insanity" was released on 16.2.2007 in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. In 2007 the band made two tours in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Czech Republic.
Also the Japanese EMI Toshiba was convinced by Lovex and its successful album, accordingly "Divine Insanity" was released in Japan on 19.9.2007.
Year 2008 will bring along a new Lovex studio album which is to be released April 30th in Finland.. Also this album will be melodic and full of emotion but on the other hand heavier and more aggressive than the preceding one. The album opener "Take A Shot" is full of new energy and carries elements of the 80's. “Take A Shot†has been one of the most played radio song in Finland in spring 2008. “Pretend or Surrender†will be released in Germany May 2nd and in Japan May 21st.
