Die
Brücke was formed in late 2005 following the break-up of the
darkwave/EBM group Emergence. That project included at the time several
musicians who would go on to form the fledgling DB, after creative
differences forced Emergence to disband. The monicker of the new
project was inspired by an early 20th Century German Expressionist
movement of the same name, who were famous for their primal,
unscientific approach to art. These artists named their movement "Die
Brücke", or The Bridge, because they had envisioned a school of art
which would be a symbolic link between old and new, between the past
and the future. This vision is shared by the band Die Brücke, who bring
many influences into the mix and strive to create something new, yet
familiar. The tone of their work is dark, sometimes energetic,
sometimes brooding, and involves the use of gothic, rock, electro,
classical and even tribal elements to form a new and powerful sound
that is avante garde, and yet sometimes reminiscent of the dark
industrial-rock sound of the early 1990s. Industry insiders have this
to say:“Reminiscent of bands that you’d find on
Reconstriction back in the mid 90’s..
Monster is definitely the highlight track…Strong
break-beats mixed with power chords.”
-Shannon, Metropolis Records
“Die Brucke takes the Electro sound and raises it to a new standard.”
-Benny Hell, VF Magazine
“I like the sound. The guitars work well in their
tracks,
especially in the track called “Golem”. The vocals are working well
too. “Monster” is really cool as well. Has an old school Skinny puppy
feeling to it, yet sounding fresher. Sweet.”
-Sebastian R. Komor, Icon of Coil and Zombie Girl
“They sound great. The guitar adds that crunch I
love but still makes you want to dance your ass off.”
-Nick Cage, Clear Channel, KTCL 93.3
