About Me

Through a heavy sound and live shows on the verge of chaos, CLOSER wants to show the true face of human soul - dark, violent and decadent. Combining Japanese visual kei grace, metal power and rock energy, their songs set deep emotions in music, contrasted by melodic piano arrangements.
Founded in 2004 at Low (vocal) and Guillaume’s (guitar, piano) initiative, the band releases in 2006 a first self-produced demo CD, MIND MESS, followed next year by the maxi-single THE EVIL GENTLEMEN which asserts their popularity in this genre.
After several concerts in France with artists like Pistol Valve and Calmando Qual, CLOSER grows considerably when Jerome joins them on drums in autumn 2007. Abroad lives and apparitions in media such as the French magazine ROCK ONE allow them to reach a larger audience and continued on their way.

A travers un son puissant et des prestations scéniques au bord du chaos, CLOSER cherche à montrer le vrai visage de l’âme humaine – noire, violente et décadente. Alliant la grâce du visual kei japonais à la force du metal et l’énergie du rock, leurs compositions mettent en musique des émotions profondes, relevées d’arrangements pianos riches et mélodiques.
Fondé en 2004 à l’initiative de Low (voix) et Guillaume (guitare, piano), le groupe sort en 2006 une première demo autoproduite, MIND MESS, suivie du maxi single THE EVIL GENTLEMEN l’année d’après, qui affirme leur popularité auprès des amateurs du genre.
Après plusieurs concerts en France avec des artistes comme Pistol Valve et Calmando Qual, CLOSER prend de l’ampleur avec l’arrivée de Jerome à la batterie à l’automne 2007. S’ensuivent des lives à l’étranger et des apparitions dans des media comme ROCK ONE qui leur permettent de toucher un public plus large et poursuivre leur voie.
