ZEROMANCER

I\'ve been going to shows now for so long now, I can remember when they were still in black-and-white. Out of all those shows, I can count the number of bands that have impressed me enough live to make me buy their CD on one hand. The United Tour hit The Newport a couple weeks ago and I initially went to see Bile (whose new disc, The Copy Machine, features covers of The Who, The Go-Go\'s, and Faith No More) and Martin Atkins\' industrial supergroup, Pigface. I knew My Life With The Thrill Kill Cult would be bad. They were awful years ago, and they’re even worse now. But Bile was tight and powerful, and Pigface was amazing. But what I wasn\'t expecting was Zeromancer. Zeromancer strikes a chord deep inside, and writes the songs you never knew you wanted to hear. You will hear flashes of Depeche Mode, Prick, Jesus Jones, and Shotgun Messiah. Zeromancer has a great original sound, blending synthpop, industrial, and metal, thus creating a whole new genre of music. Their live show will leave you breathless. Bassist/songwriter Kim Ljung seethes energy and power, while vocalist Alex Moklebust stalks the stage like a young Iggy Pop. Additionally, drummer Noralf Ronthi, synthman Erik Ljunggren, and guitarist Chris Schleyer give warmth, power, and punctuation to every song. They don\'t make bands like Zeromancer anymore, so you owe it to yourself to check them out. Visit zeromancer.com to learn more. They\'re from Norway, so if they play anywhere nearby you must seek them out. Believe me, they\'re worth the drive.
