"There is a bit of Tool, QotSA and a more melodic aspect that reminds me of a few melodic-metal bands of the mid-nineties (Only Living Witness and Chum for example.) Probably not conscious but I find that they resemble 1995-98 Anathema in mood and arrangements while being significantly more up tempo" -Simon of It's A Trap!
"...a lot of the riffs and arrangements sort of sound like Opeth if they were to drop the metal and go for somewhat of a dryer and more angular sound. There's a great balance of melody and dissonance, I love the vocal work, the songwriting is dynamic yet consistent, and there's a lot of intricate riffing so the entire affair is much more involved than cursory listens might reveal" -Andrew of Aversionline
Closer was rooted in Stockholm and consisted of six members, made progressively erratic music. On stage, the band delivered a melodic package of focused energy.
Their debut album ‘Tokpela EP’ was recorded during the fall of 2005, and in 2007 they released the sophomore EP ‘The 39’.
BUT NOW CLOSER IS DEAD!
Please keep enjoying the music here on myspace though.
Also you can still purchase Tokpela EP and The 39 at itsatrap.com.
