Wxpect a review in With guitars next Singles Rounduo no.12 due in two weeks. Another reason to check CiB;s site, is to take down the details of theur free launch Party, this friday –
FREE ENTRY LAUNCH PARTY 09/03/12
‘Produced by James Aparicio (whose credits include Depeche Mode, Spiritualized, Grinderman and Liars) who helped sharpen their already visceral sound’ echosanddustnews.tumblr.com
‘with knife-edged guitar riffs, sharpened at every turn, set against a whirlwind of apocalyptic driving beats, they elaborately wrap around Maya’s powerful, explosively volatile howls’ Dominion truecultheavymetal.com
‘this is a tidal wave: unforgiving and strongly make its point’ sloucher.org
CiB ‘take their ethic a few steps further, they chose to write songs, utilising less common time-signatures (than the overly-used 4/4 time); and they project with a post-punk fervour! Picture Patti Smith or Siouxsie Sioux & The Banshees covering a tune by 80s punkers Romeo Void! My’s vocals are very forward, and acceptably forceful, not backing down from the emotions that fuel her sentiment! She does not waste a listener’s time, with unadventurous re-renderings of the boring pretenses that drench the believability of some mainstream efforts’ indiemusicnews.info
‘the closing inclusion of Heretics’ bass-heavy witch-step RMX of "… And The Darkness Bangs" comes as a welcome surprise. Ramping up the original’s industrial compression, crumpling the beat and invoking those genre-dependent machine-gun drum rips, it can’t help but then screw vocalist Maya’s words into poison-tipped shards’sicmagzine.net
here’s the title track from the bands White Horse, a cracking track in my opinion. To hear and see the songs from the new single go to www.coldinberlin.com
