Aerosole Companion

About Me

Down-tuned guitars, endless delays and two singers causing an alternation of melancholy, anger and hope. A very intense sound is born, defying the incoherency of complexity and catchy simplicity without destroying the bands authenticity. Big songs stand up front, each one unfolding its very own appeal due to the interplay of uncompromising heavyness, fragile melancholia and epic vehemence.

In 2004 they have released their first 4-track demo which has sold about 200 copys. In november 2005, the band released their debut album "the meltdown protocols", all produced by themselves, praised by online journals around the world. Their second studio record "Recorder" was released on June 2nd, 2007. The have released a double Live CD entitled "LIVEWIRE", which features both regular and unplugged live material in september 2008. It is limited to 100 copies and features both well known and previously unreleased songs.

AEROSOLE COMPANION are currently working on their third studio album. It will feature some songs of their latest live set as well as brand new material. They are planning to finish and release in 2010.
