Artist Bio
|
Capturing all the emotional force and fury of today’s rock scene. THE MURDER OF MY
SWEET has arrived with a sound and statement that demands your attention. As band names
go – perhaps there’s never been a more fitting, so apropos than THE MURDER OF MY
SWEET – A name inspired by the 1944 movie “Murder, My Sweet.
The path, beliefs and
concept which the five members of the band share – the journey each of the members has
endured finally led them to one another, building up to this point, to realizing common goals.
Formed by drummer, songwriter and producer Daniel Flores who after a few false starts of
what was to become THE MURDER OF MY SWEET just by coincidence came across the
magnificent singer Angelica Rylin – well endowed with the right look, voice and talents, being
exactly what Daniel was searching for. The rest of THE MURDER OF MY SWEET’s line up
was then rather easily recruited – guitarist Daniel Palmqvist, bass player Johan Niemann and
keyboardist Andreas Lindahl all being mentally, creatively and spiritually the right combination
to complete the perfect match.
THE MURDER OF MY SWEET is simple yet stirring musical statement that expands the
boundaries of what great music is all about. THE MURDER OF MY SWEET’s sound is rich in
influence and yet distinctly unique. The lush melodic cinematic landscapes reflect the diversity
of the five members own musical experiences. From Angelica’s soaring vocal melodies and
sweeping choruses to the explosive layers of guitars from Palmqvist and the thrilling
orchestratic keyboard arrangements painted by Andreas Lindahl backed by the bombastic and
dynamic rhythms of Niemann and Flores. The resulting collaborations are a work both haunting
and uplifting – fuelled by the curiosity of seeing where their burning ambitions will take them.
The material is mainly written by the wonder team Daniel and Angelica – but not without the
inspiration spark and input from the other three members – with songs based on personal
experiences, movies and books. The collection of material which has been selected for the bands
debut album “DIVANITY” include all from dark subject matters to pure fiction. “Kiss of
Death” takes a glimpse into the state of love where you give up your self for the desire to have
or to do something that you know you should avoid while “Bleed Me Dry” describes the feeling
of being different and wanting to go your own way in life. ”Follow The Rain” is all about
breaking a pattern from where you make the same mistakes over and over again into becoming
a person with control of your life. The track “Storms Of The Sea” is a beautiful tale of a young
woman on her quest around the world to seek her long lost lover and “No Evil” is the band’s
encouragement to embrace the dark rather than being afraid of it.
The grand finale of the album is the larger than life and described by Rylin and Flores as THE
MURDER OF MY SWEET’s own “Bohemian Rhapsody” – a track call “Death Of A Movie
Star”. A massive piece of music which will showcase THE MURDER OF MY SWEET’s
dynamics with a sense of playfulness by switching from soft, rippling sounds and beats to
limitless rage with beautiful melodies. Magnificent layers of voices shake hands with
immeasurable capacity of energy.
THE MURDER OF MY SWEET’s aim is to create a distorted film noir vibe and experience –
put the wonder, sadness, humour and sheer zest of life into their music tour de force. Playing it
to the point where their drama explode – as the music and the words becomes the utmost
expression of direct and ecstatic joy of pure being. The name “DIVANITY” is the bands own
expression of diva, divine and vanity - all of them being essential ingredients in their debut
album.
Mixed/ produced by Flores and proudly mastered at CUTTING ROOM by Swedish phenomenal
sound engineer MATS LINDFORS (Gorgoroth, Candlemass, Glenn Hughes, Talisman),
“DIVANITY” will be released by FRONTIERS RECORDS in November 2009.
THE MURDER OF MY SWEET races ahead with an unforgettable thrill of your lifetime flavor
– And whatever you do – don’t miss the show.
