Avalanche

AVALANCHE Swedish/Danish progressive/melodic metal outfit has for long been a growing brainchild of singer Jake E (Ex-DREAM EVIL, DREAMLAND) and guitarist Olof Mörck (NIGHTRAGE, DRAGONLAND), following a desire and ambition to break out of the mould of previous bands and projects, to form something new and fresh entirely. AVALANCHE – the name strongly suggests what to expect from this young, yet experienced constellation; a formidable onslaught of melodies, riffs, in short, harmony ethereally fused with aggression. There are many traits unique to AVALANCHE, foremost is the presence of three main singers; Jake E on clean vocals, cabaret virtuoso Elize providing soaring female vocals and Andy (WITHIN Y, EVILDOER, CIPHER SYSTEM) delivers the guttural and brutal screams, together creating a very distinct and instantly recognisable sound.

Another defining feature of AVALANCHE is the idea of a collective – everyone from superstars of the industry to just generally talented people will lend their unique skills to AVALANCHE on the coming album, names that will be revealed in the near future. This, however, won’t stop AVALANCHE from being a tour de force in live shows and tours, since the core of this metal machinery is based primarily on the regular members. To round up the still growing line-up is up and coming Danish drummer Morten (ARCANE ORDER, SUBMISSION), who have been seen behind the kit with acts such as SOILWORK, SCARVE, NIGHTRAGE among numerous others. To try to describe AVALANCHE’s music is as challenging as it is redundant, so here, as a first teaser in a rough pre-production mix is a genuine AVALANCHE hit; Leave Everything Behind, with more tasters to follow shortly. So, keep your eyes and ears peeled as this AVALANCHE will come thundering down a mountain near you in late 2008/early2009!
