Check out my Band "Effloresce"

Well, since my old thread (click here) about this project constantly got lost because of its confusing title, i start this new one. Just for the purpose to share the music i make with my friends with you, fellow forumers!

The timing is perfect, because our very first EP will be available very soon and you already can have a listen to a whole song off this EP right here:

Make sure to check out our MySpace (Link) for more info and Updates! We'd love to hear what you think about it!

Dayum!! 

Man, I really, really, really like your sound!!! 

I see a lot of hits on this thread but not comments, are you people fucking deaf?

Seriously, check this band out, the music is great!!

I have to admit that I'm not a huge fan of female fronted music of this type, but she's got some great pipes!

she's got some great pipes!

Never heard it called that before


I'll check this out when I get home from work

Posting so I can find this when I get home tonight

I dont really go for these "Check out my band" type threads

Buuuut in saying that i actually really enjoyed that! You got a good sound going, sounds pro man!

Liking the name as well! "Sunset in the Snowdome"...noice.

Any chance of a download of that track??  Hehe, sorry I just find streaming to be rather inconvenient usually.

Very cool indeed.  Let us know when the EP comes out. :D

I remember reading about you guys when I first joined the forum a couple years ago. It seems you have changed your sound a little over the years and I noticed more of a Porcupine Tree vibe in this song. It turned out really well and I am looking forward to hearing more.

Sounds good! That's some pretty complex stuff there, well done!

Remember to bring a copy of your EP on Saturday!

Whow guys! Thanks for the Props so far! Amazing you dig it! And yes, we like Porcupine Tree obviously... among lots of other bands. :)

Unfortunately there isn't any chance of downloading the tune yet. We wait until the physical copies of our CD arrive and will sell one to anyone who likes to have one :) But this won't happen before saturday, Kyo, sorry... :)

awesome! cant wait to hear the final product!! not much a fan of some of the solo female vocals, but the chroral stuff sounds awesome and the screaming is fucking evil!!

man why not??

Just take a few minutes of your time and help out someone by giving your feedback, what if you wanted ppl to check out your shit and nobody wanted to hear it??

On a lighter note, that was pretty damn awesome!!!!!!!!

Obvious huge Opeth influence there, mixed with some more "happy" prog.

Sounds amazing keep up the splendid work!

hah too late to edit, i was just about to mention the "Bleak"-style chords


also you stole the opening riff from overture 1928


still fucking love it though

hahaha, you guys are awesome! Of course we're also big Opeth-Fans... wait till you hear our other tunes! I'm curious which bands you can hear there... Those other songs are less "Happy-Prog" by the way.

But honestly: glad you like it! And though some of you are not used to that kinda music with female vocals in general it seems to work out pretty well in this case, doesn't it?

man i gotta say, im genuinely quite excited to get my hands on your CD. its got just the right balance of influences i like, and originality. i even downloaded that one track off last.fm and im gonna put it on my ipod.

youve done well.

Yeah, glad you like it, man! But how the hell did you download it? Actually it wasn't supposed to be downloaded... but well, no problem. May it rock your iPod! ;)

UPDATE: now you can listen to the tune on our MySpace-Page also. Go to www.myspace.com/effloresceonline and enjoy!

Hey Guys, some more good news, i guess! An excerpt from our latest BLOG that might be of interest for you:

"Moreover, we decided to give you the opportunity to listen to the EP in it's entirety here on our myspace site for one day. So, grab a big marker and highlight 6 December 2009 (yes Sir, Saint Nicholas day!) in your calender. We will upload the whole thing around midnight, or let's say we will try to...you know, it'll be Saturday evening, beer and stuff . On Monday, 7 December, we will be so mean and take it down again, leaving only one song and the teaser online, hahaha!!!"

While at work editing the forum album, I have had the chance to listen to the song "Sunset in the Snowdome" about 30 times.  It is so fantastic!

hahaha, honestly? 30 Times? Oh my godness... and you still like it? Maaan... huge compliment! Thanks a lot!

Guitarrero? I just came back from Germany, check the forum, see that band name and check my pockets to find a flyer of this band. Your name wouldn't happen to be Dave, would it?

Haha, sure Frank! Glad you made it home safely! Was a pleasure to meet you yesterday and you rocked, honestly! :)

Great song.  Great playing, and singing.  The vocalist's voice reminds me of The Corrs.  Can't wait to hear more.

Great stuff man!!!

Just listened to Sunset in the Snowdome, the instrumental stuff is pretty cool, I'm not a big fan of female vocals on rock music though. But it's a solid song, good use of dynamics and cool riffs!

Rock on! \m/

Posting so that I could follow the thread and listen to it at home.

NICE!

Diggin' it. Diverse. Tight. Melodic. I'd buy a copy for sure.

yay, thank you guys for the comments. But hey, the vocalists voice sounds like the corrs? Interesting, i think no one mentioned them before. :)

And remember: Next Sunday our whole EP will be up on MySpace for 24 hours :)

Interesting, if I get some time at the trusty old laptop, I'll be sure to check it out!

Hope you get tons of listens. :)

alright people, it's almost midnight here in Germany right now... so our full EP is on our MySpace now so you can have a listen. But be quick, in 24 hours it will be gone...

Hey man, sounds real good. BUT the singer is kinda weak.  The DT influence is a bit too obvious.

That's my opinion.
But still, the music is great.

Hmmm... There is indeed one band whose influence is "a bit too obvious", but I don't think it's DT.

haha, funny that everyone thinks there is too much of this or that band in our music, but everyone tells a different band. *lool* We've had many so far from DT, to Nightwish to Opeth to Mostly Autumn to Porcupine Tree to Theatre of Tragedy to Epica and whatnot... :) Funny because we listen to some of those bands a lot but do not know many others at all... :)

Finally our EP will be officially released next Friday, December 18th! In order to celebrate that, there will be a small Release-Party at our favorite Metal-Tavern here in Fuerth, Germany called VERTIGO (www.vertigo.bew-music.de). If anyone of you is around, feel free to come over and have a drink with us! We'll start around 9pm and also sell (and even sign, if you'd like to) the actual CDs that evening.

would be cool to see some of you!

Dont forget camel! ;)  
Good luck with the party, the music is great, you guys definitely add something to Progmetal.

Yeah, though i'm the only one in the band who's really into Camel this influence is quite obvious at times :D Simply love this band...

Thanks for your kind words!

Not gonna lie, it's a bit of a steep price on the album for only four songs... then I remembered that I spent $15 for six Dream Theater songs about six months ago, and I felt a little better :)  If I have the cash, I'll have to pick up a copy of your album digitally.  As much as I love having CDs, delivery costs for overseas is just too much...  Great work though, I love your sound :)

yeah, delivery costs really suck. And i think 7 Euros for half an hour of music is okay. It isn't a real album, we consider it to be an EP. ;)  Especially if you love the sound so far... it should not disappoint you! Go for it my friend!

Are you aware how high the shipping costs to the US are these days? It's pretty ridiculous...
