Milan, Italy - One of the heaviest newAlternative-Metal groups to emerge from Italy, Klogr (pronouncedKay-log-are), will be releasing their mind-blistering debut CD titled'Till You Decay' in January 2012 on Valery Records. Described as "analternative rock/metal album in which both the instrumental and thevocal lines are delivered very heavily at times and more melodic atother times creating the sound of Klogr", fans of the band andmusic press worldwide have been anticipating the CD release.
The album is based on the concept thatthe society around us controls us, judges us, conditions us andultimately suffocates us. A psychological game of massacre, controland power over the masses, in which they use fear and anxieties todestabilize a person into something more fragile, more controllableand more subservient... till you decay.
The Klogr's name is a reference to thelaw of Weber-Fechner, developed in the second half of the the 800,which is known as the fundamental psychophysical relationship (S=Klog R). The project, which resides on the thin line betweenalternative rock and alternative metal, is led by Gabriele "Rusty"Rustichelli (producer at ZetaFactory, former guitarist of SensAzionEand other Italian alternative projects). Klogr develops a a powerfulsound that draws energy from a philosophy that challenges thecontemporary culture, where every sense is cleverly used against menin the name of profit. Along with Rusty (vocals and guitars), and theother members of the Italian/American line-up include: Nicola Briganti (guitars and a member of Lena's Baedream), Todd Allen (bassand a member of Beside Myself) and Filippo De Pietri (drums). Alltogether they complete the Klogr circle.
The idea took shape in May 2010 and inJune 2011 the group began recording their debut album at theZetaFactory studio. From that point on, Klogr captured the attentionof the public and aroused much curiosity among professionals and fansby posting several viral videos, showing the progress of the band inthe studio. The date 11-11-11 brought the world premier of thegroup's live show. The powerful attack of the eleven songs that makeup the track list for 'Till You Decay' was greatly enjoyed andwell-received by the enthusiastic audiences.
After the ten video presentations ofthe band's sound, the first complete track to run on its network was"Live Dying", the album's opening track. "Bleeding", thefirst chosen single due out in January, will be accompanied by avideo that combines graphics and cinematography in line with the moodof Klogr. 'Till You Decay' is scheduled to be released worldwide onJanuary 10, 2012 and will be supported by a US west coast tour andseveral European dates.
