 NEW
YORK (Escapi Music) - Formed in 1995 in Ludwigsburg, Germany by
guitarist Chris Lorey, Scenes has been a constantly evolving project.
The newest and strongest incarnation of the band is made up of Lorey,
vocalist Alex Koch (ex-Powergod, Spiral Tower), drummer Hendirk
Edelthalhammer, bassist Jan Ebert and keyboardist Florian Wenzel.
Having signed a deal with Escapi Music, the band is looking forward to
making new fans and followers as they prepare to unleash their music on
the world. The band's latest foray into powerful progressive
metal, Call Us At The Number You Provide presents an intense
philosophical and emotional journey. Lorey says, "The whole album is
about dead end connections or misunderstandings. It's about problems
which could have been avoided with the right communication." Songs like
"So (Father)" which communicates a relationship between a father and
son, show heartfelt emotion behind a musical maelstrom and Koch's
powerful vocal delivery helps to bolster the already jaw-dropping
musicianship displayed by the whole band. The mixing and mastering was
done by Tommy Newton (Victory, Halloween, Conception). Lorey says,
"Even though we are a prog band we wanted to sound really heavy and fat
and I think Tommy achieved this goal better than we all expected." Due
for an April 19th release, Call Us At The Number You Provide promises
to fill a void long vacant in the world of experimental metal.
