In a time where gothic rock is becoming increasingly popular
Denmark also make a contribution to the genre with The Loveless. This band is
made up of Brian Hansen, Kim Larsen and Jesper Saltoft who were all members of
the doom metal band Saturnus until the release of their album "Martyre" in
the year 2000. In the music of their new band we can trace influences like
Katatonia, The Cure, HIM and Seigmen. They will probably find a lot of fans in
Denmark among those people who enjoy gothic rock / metal hybrids but to me
they are yet another act among a hundred others. The problem that most bands
face today is just this. When almost everything has been done already it is
hard to find a sound of your own which is exactly what it takes to reach the
top and also to reach me. I would still like to recommend those of you who are
big fans of the genre to at least give these guys a chance because they are
well respected and experienced musicians. I am glad to see that there are more
metal bands coming out of Denmark but unfortunately there has been nothing
groundbreaking since King Diamond made his mark on the world. Atmospheric,
melancholic, suggestive but not a very exciting debut
album.
