I don't know about you, but if someone mentions 'For fans of A Perfect Circle, Deftones, Tool...', I get quite curious.  Here is a brand new rock band from Geneva (Switserland), named Ten Seconds Era.  Founded in 2013, this quintet is about to release a four-track e.p. next month.  After listening to Touchdown, we're looking forward to the rest.  Check below

Denovali streams new track by new artist Orson Hentschel

25/4/2015

Comments

 
Foto
Orson Hentschel is a German composer and producer based in Düsseldorf, who just signed with Denovali Records. Starting to play classical piano at an early age, he now mainly composes electronic, experimental and film music. Influenced by classical minimal music Hentschel's sound is characterised by a large variety of musical structures which are often arranged in a contrasting way. His current live performance, supported by a drummer, is a very energetic, loud and haunting experience.

Listen to the haunting new track  'What's Going On', this promises to be a very interesting album indeed...
