Underground Macabre (CMB Nov 07,2007 Issue)The Bridge or as they call it, Die
Brucke.
(dee-brookah, with a gutteral 'R')
by Alyx Webb, The Evil Poodle
Die Brucke, comprised of former members of Emergence, Darker Days Tomorrow, Electrophile, Rogue Angel Seven, and Dragon Tears Descending, are getting ready to hit the world with their first EP album “Monster.” Die Brucke, in german, means “The Bridge”, which in the early 20th century was a group of artists that were seeking a way to bring the older traditional forms of art to a newer modern style based on vivid color, emotional tension, and violent (bold) imagery. Who are the members of this deeply creative expressionist band you ask? Solice Seven (Patrick Hogan) on main programming and some guitar, The Apostate (Rob Holman) on main vocals and co-synths, and Drake (Corey Drake) on lead guitars, synths, programming, and back-up vocals.
A lot of this bands influence spawned from early 90’s music in both the Goth and Rock movements, including Gravity Kills, KMFDM, Front 242, Neuroticfish, Razed in Black, New Order, and Nine Inch Nails. In their opinion it seems like music has lost something over the years, like either it’s too much rock and needs more dance music, or too much electronic dance that needs more rock. The boys of Die Brucke are trying to create that bridge.
In a very short amount of time the band has come together, re-written most of the songs, wrote new songs, changed programming tools, and become as tight knit as any band that has been working together for several years. As someone who speaks to a lot of bands and gets to hear new releases before they are released I am very impressed with what the band has put together. I have also been witness to DJ friends sneaking in unreleased tracks into their set lists at the clubs, and I have seen people perk up and get to the dance floor for a song they have never heard before (which is highly impressive).
They have goals to tour nationally and internationally, which they know will take time but they are ready to do it, and very excited about the new project and prospects it could bring to them. They plan to take over the world and are not worried about hords of plaid skirt japanese girls chasing them through Japan!- They welcome it!
We would like to say that you should decide for yourself what Genres this band will fit into, I myself would place them at Industrial/Darkwave/EBM. But you can make up your own mind when Monster is released on Tuesday, November, 20th, and you can even come see them live at 3 Kings Tavern for their CD Release Party on Saturday, Novermber 24th.
