Etkilendikleri
Absinthe,
Post-Apocalyptic visions,
The persistence of unrivalled evil,
Psychosis,
The dream-state of euphoria from which one never wishes to awaken from,
Getting constipated,
Going in (and out) of coma's,
Minding our own business,
Dancing in full moons,
Reaching off on Big-tit bitches,
An endless voyage through outer space,
Listening to “verbal diarrhoea”,
Going to sleep in Graveyards,
Standing barefoot eating ones finger nails,
Looking for a girlfriend that already has a family of poodles and goes to bed with an Alsatian
Painfully hot Vindaloo,
The European Enlightenment,
And many, many other major band influences;
including the "Pied Piper of Hamelin"
NEW TRACK "SAVIOUR" UP NOW
SINGLE AVAILABLE JANUARY 2008
"Listening to Cloned Spirit can only be described as an immense slab of in-your-face symphonic metal power... like having a metaphorical frying pan hit you around the face, but instead of it putting you in a coma it just makes you feel all powerful and tingly." - Editor of The Guardia.
“The city metallers [Cloned Spirit] will return to mosh-up the tiles of the town centre once again” – The Leicester Mercury.
MESSAGE OF CONDOLENCE
Above: Official promotional release cover for the new single 'Lost Resurrection' by Cloned Spirit
In dedication to Emelia, whom lost her life tragically in a car accident on September 21st 2007 (this autumn) at the age of 20;
I would like to intend my greatest sympathy's and respects to Emelia's family.
Being in Emelia's company made the fire that burns bright in the spirit of a person, burn brighter. To me she shall always be there in the world somewhere overseeing events from on high. Emelia's decisions and advice (typical of her intellectual and philosophical personality) will always be there in metaphor and for her existence therefore we should always be very grateful.
Sadly missing you and as of now, forevermore on behalf of all of us here in Leicester, God Speed. For you in your journey Cloned Spirit now releases; “Lost Resurrection”.
Kindest Regards,
Fénian (on behalf of Cloned Spirit)
(Footnote: This dedication will additionally appear on the official release material of the single “Lost Resurrection”.)

What is Cloned Spirit (the Short Story)?
Cloned Spirit is the European neo-symphonic metal band, based in Leicester, Midlands UK and has been in existence since its conception in 2002. Cloned Spirit's “European” classification comes due to the diverse cultural background of the band members make up and this in turn naturally impacts upon the musical content of Cloned Spirit itself.
There have been some changes in recent years, both in its membership and its musical direction and Cloned Spirit is now fully cohesive within itself, in its drive to create creditable music and stage performances. Concerts performed by Cloned Spirit are relatively limited in number owed to the specialisation and nature of the band itself along the traditional ideas of ‘getting it right' before you go out and do it.
Cloned Spirit is self equipped with the latest high quality delivery systems - all valve driven Mesa Boogie and Engl power. In addition to state of the art SFX and Vocal technologies and floor processors (Cloned Spirit have become famous for their mix of on the fly special effects/sampling and live performed delivery) and has a long standing perception since the conception of the band itself towards special effects likened to that of (in a technical sense) Pink Floyd, but of course totally different in sound and composition. This is all added to its own PA system and back-up – Cloned Spirit is therefore independent where equipment and transportation is concerned.
The band is also noted for its live gob-smacking stage performances an attribute that has been related to the uniqueness of its individualized style, character and image which gives the band itself an original musical concept – in as far as identifying differences can be recognised in any given band of contemporary genre.
The band is set to release its first commercial single “Lost Resurrection” in the fall of 2007, a ‘neo-symphonic metal opus' designed with a commercial edge in mind, yet at the same time staying true to the bands standing identity. Lost Resurrection will be the first single from the long awaited debut album entitled “Bleed the Stone” set for general release in Spring 2008.

Introduction & Definition - Part I
<em>Define: Cloned Spirit
A paranormal spiritual concept, forging the willingness to achieve a desired goal, used in metaphysics to describe the unification of two or more sovereign spiritual entities into one life force, to function as one spiritual entity. Every sovereign spirit contains a set of analogous energies representing a life force through the process of spiritual re-alignment in the living being...
A ‘cloned spirit' is thus the forging of a new cooperative ‘life force', for the purposes of efficient creativity and is represented in the Cloned Spirit emblem; which is depicted in an ‘egg' being held up by two metal ‘swordsmen' – A symbol to remind us all of the cooperative element in the nature of creation.
As a band Cloned Spirit embodies just that;
The ability of several living sovereign spiritual entities to be forged together;
Acting as one creative force, in order to achieve the unit's desired goal which is;
The need to create something…
Thus, the name Cloned Spirit was coined to represent the band from its inception, as a term to symbolize cooperation from within its members in the understanding that (due to the nature of a musical symphony) only the best can be achieved through realisation of necessity to communally cooperate as a group of musicians, in order to facilitate the foundation of the best musical structures and enable creative genius to function at will.
Music & Content - Part II
Cloned Spirit has endeavoured to produce music that opens up the minds of the listeners as well as their ears to the emotions and passions expressed in Cloned Spirit's music. As a result of the musical versatility of all the musicians within Cloned Spirit, collectively, Cloned Spirit is endowed with a large ‘playground' from which inspiration is forever pushing the boundaries of musical content in the creative aspect,
employing new and innovative ideas addressing the raw emotional core of reality and telling the musical story the way it now is.
Cloned Spirit was born in the year two thousand and two, with the founding members Fénian Druid and Daniel Nienartowicz setting up the basic working ethics. Cloned Spirit is all of what it set out to be; with each musician bringing to the table his personal experience of life which is then expressed in sound waves. Like any musical revelation of the past, Cloned Spirit tells the story of its time. Yes it has been done before… but not quite, in the same way.
Being musically different and ‘trying' to be musically different is not the same thing.
The concept of ‘being different' does not enter into the Cloned Spirit arena. Like all bands with something to say, Cloned Spirit says it the Cloned Spirit way. However, if the international media wants a musically related reference to address Cloned Spirit with, and coinage has to be stamped upon the music, it could be said that Cloned Spirit caters to a neo-symphonic metal style.
Development & Concerts – Part III
It is not how many concerts Cloned Spirit does that counts, but the quality of what Cloned Spirit achieves in each consecutive performance, addressing each innovation as it develops in the progression of “saying it better”, as over all development both in musical content and delivery takes place – that's what counts for Cloned Spirit.
The participation of Cloned Spirit in concerts has been carefully selected, hence the number of performances performed by Cloned Spirit since birth, has in the general relative sense, been small. However there are future concerts being planned ahead.
Secondly, in the question of performing; due to the nature of venues and audience disillusionment, the Cloned Spirit management has taken the job up on itself to organise worthwhile concerts with the intention in mind to feature specific specialised acts in order to put on fresh and exhilarating concerts each time.
