From Gothenburg, Sweden comes alternative electro-rock act Hearts of Black Science with their melancholic and sometimes dark pop with haunting melodies. In the winter of November 2005, the two childhood friends Daniel Änghede and Tomas Almgren met up after Tomas had spent the last seven years in London and Berlin, working on a career as a horror movie director and Daniel’s band had just split up so they decided to join forces.
In April of 2006 the band released a self financed EP that sold out in just 2 months on My space and a second EP was released the following month. The band was signed shortly after the A&R scout from Club AC30 saw them performing their second gig ever at the Water Rats Theatre in London. The debut album The Ghost You Left Behind was released by the London based record company in the spring of 2007. The full-length was later followed by two singles, Empty City Lights & Driverlights.
A digital download single of Walking With the Sun, a CD collection of remixes & unused tracks and a new album will be out in 2009.
Hearts of Black Science have been touring in the U.K several times and BBC radio invited the duo twice to perform live on air on the Gideon Coe and Tom Robinson shows. The album has been praised by both international press and their fans, Swedens - Zero Music Magazine gave the album 9 / 10 and U.S based – Virus Magazine gave it 8 / 10. The album has also been released in Japan as a special edition by Quince Records and Broken Silence released the album in Germany on the 20th of July.
The band has also been featured on a charity compilation CD sharing the spotlight with such acts as Client and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.
As a live act Hearts of Black Science incorporates additional musicians to bring an even more intense dynamic to their show. The band will keep promoting their music and continue to do shows around the world.

"Daniel och Thomas från Stenungsund har fått ta omvägen förbi London för att bli med skivbolag. Men det är sällan man hör en sådan här helgjuten debut." Johan Lindqvist, Göteborgsposten 3/5.
"Jag rekommenderar varje sekund av plattan" Stefan Albinson, Zero Magazine 9/10.
"Här finns nog något för alla, här tillåts gothare somna in, synthare dansa i lera och ambitiösa popfanster skriva vackra diktalster till sagolika melodier. Synth-rocken flätas över 11 spår ihop bra med en genomgående melankoli-pop-känsla som känns väldigt nära, ren och äkta, och samtidigt som ännu ett oväntat energitillskott i musiksverige. Andreas Häggström, Musiklandet 4/5.
"Hearts of Black Science are kings of the gothenburg popscene." The Guardian
" Hearts of black science are like caged animals. They crackle like a darker depeche mode och a fuzzy Coldplay" Jonny K, The Fly (London)
"Being trapped in a car with a solitary CD and a bottle of painkillers may, on the surface, seem like a pretty desperate situation. If you're lucky enough to be stuck with one of the most interesting and exciting albums released so far this year, it's not so bad." Sam Shepherd, musicOMH.com 4/5.
The Ghost… ensures constancy and intelligence, as well as the passion and edge that are ever longed for in a debut." Matt Tucker, Gigwise.com 3,5/5.

You know guys, of all the music in this world, 95% is crap, 4% is ok and the remaining 1% makes life worth living. Your music belongs to that 1%. Please come to Finland some day!
Your new default looks incredible! I can't wait to hear your new album. Twilight was really melodic. You have such incredible guitar work. Have a really hopeful worm feel. Incredible vocals and filters. Keep up the awesome work and keep in touch, J
