Maybe that's what the ads could look like, but that's bull, too. Probably the only way to find out what it's all about is to see or hear them yourself.
As they joined together to form the band back in 2007, the musicians Alex Koch (drums), Tosse Basler (guitar, vocals) and Marius Müller (keyboard, synth, guitar) had already worked together in the past on various projects. Each one of them brought a few years of band-, stage-, studio- and business-experience into the venture. However, at this point we're not going to go into that in detail - in favor of focusing in whole on the newest music by the band AVALANCHE, which is practically presenting a quantum leap in their musical development.
The band name AVALANCHE arose during the conception of the program „Avalanche of Ignorance“. Now that they had a name, the musicians began rehearsing regularly in preparation for their live gigs and simultaneously recorded their six-song EP of the same name at the s.o.t.a.-studios in the beginning of 2008.
... one could say that the band implements a variety of stylistic elements, that the band knows what they're doing with their instruments, that the sound is contemporary, that the songwriting is oriented along the Metal sound of the 90's with vocals that remind you of the 80's, with elements of Alternative and toolesque passages: call it Alternative-Grunge-Metal? or maybe Progressive-Acoustic-New-Jazz-Metal? Hell, call it what you will. In any case it's clear, that they didn't reinvent the wheel altogether, and for sure they didn't reinvent Rock'n'Roll. But what they also didn't reinvent is that „...rolling drums,...precisely-sharp-edged riffs,...boiling-base and creativity meets innovation“-bullshit. These guys are not without soul... without contour... without face...
„...quite the opposite! AVALANCHE is distinct, shows no compromise in their expression of feelings, and proves remarkably surprising depth in their arrangements... so buy AVALANCHE and they will help you understand your pain; the musical ointment for your battered soul...
Life is a farce,
justice something unclear,
freedom merely an assumption.
