About Me


ABSENT FOR A WEEK
-madebydestiny
Modern emotional Alternative-Rock with that certain indefinable something! A Band, ernergy-loaded like a thunderstorm and at the same time gentle and warm like a summer rain.
The Band was founded in Ibbenbueren / Germany about 5 years ago. Rock music? Yeah, but definitely not boring and ordinary! Absent for a week could affirm that without turning a hair. The hard rocking sound of the quartet is dominated by the amazing female voice of singer Diana. She knows how to create goozeflesh and make the crowd bounce at the same time. Her voice covers every mood from sweet fragileness to ungovernable power. The music is rounded by the catchy and hard rocking sound, created by Matthias (guitar), Anselm (bass) and Lothar (drums). Brute guitar-walls melt with the goove and tightness of the rhythm-section combined and great hooklines and melodies.
The stage is the band's real home. It's where the whole energy of the quartet is transfered directly to the crowd. In the last years they amassed live-experience at many shows across Germany. Also they've shared stage with some of the best known German rock-acts including Die Happy, Silbermond, Allternative Allstars, Tape, Rantanplan, Harmful and many more.
The 3rd and current recording "made by destiny" brings the Band's live ernergy on CD. The E.P. was released on FinestNoise/Radar in December 2005 and got great reviews from many online-zines and even the big German music-zines "Rock Hard" and "Intro": "Kicking, modern rock with cool, sometimes 'Rage Against the Machine - like' Basslines, fat guitar-riffs and an excellent female singer on mike is offered, furthermore with a first-class production."(Rock Hard, january '06)
One thing is certain: This band might make it very far....So, remember that name!!
