Here are some comments written in press reviews of some of our albums...cause to be honest...if you ask us what we sound like, we're responding with a 'well, euhmmm'
...
-The music is really a bit a mix between Tool, Thursday, Poison The Well, as well as The Deftones.
-Driving emotional Hardcore combined with pure aggression that let them go up in the world to the same league like Boy Sets Fire!
-This isn't just a mix of american hardcore and swedish metal ... This goes way beyond that. Blending jazz, metal, indie rock and hardcore...
-The superb drumming has the sound of Tool. The vocals are highly reminiscent of the new Embodyment. The guitar plays aggressive riffs and there´s plenty of chugga chugga and whiny chords as well. The bass provides the music with just the right amount of profundity needed in order to make a killer sound...
*** Entering 1992 the start ***
PN saw the light on a hot saturday-night in august 1992 and had a first session of noise making fun at Johan's place in september that same year.
*** Entering 1996 first recording ***
After the release of some demo-tapes, PN records the debut cd "Romance" in December 1996. The mixture of punk rock, hardcore and metal impresses quit some people, which results in loads of bookings in Belgium.
*** Entering 1998 daybreak ***
By the end of may 1998, PN finishes recording the second album, called Daybreak Serenity. The band members themselves describe it as a mature and intense mixture of new school hardcore and passionate, emotionally driven vocals and lyrics. Having lost most of it's punk rock influences, it is in many ways the album that set the future course. In the fall of 1998 and the year 1999, the band concentrates on playing concerts and starts touring Spain, France and the UK.
*** Entering 1999 first tour abroad ***
PN is found at the Midas Studio in January 1999, to record three songs for a split cd with the bands Reply, Circle and Exit Nineteen. The split is released by Funtime Records and Stick To The Core. First 5 show - mini-tour abroad goes to Spain, joined by Victims Of Society.
*** Entering 2000 new millennium, new studio, new vibes ***
Besides playing gigs, the band is concentrating on writing for a new album. Songs that turn out to be ultra heavy yet melodic, mood swinging and certainly more intense and melancholic. Our pitiful paradise shows PN like youve never heard them before, showing a definite passion for music and reflecting on personal and more global frustrations. The album deals with feelings that dont want to judge people for what they do, but make them reflect about certain topics . For the first time, a collaboration with the talented producer Dirk Miers of D Studio is set up and the result is very refreshing.
*** Summer 2000 a change of line-up leads to Pukkelpop ***
Just before the release of Our pitiful paradise, all-time member Bram Germonprez decides to leave the band. After some searching, Jimmy Van Rietvelde, who went out with PN on a regular base, is found prepared to replace Bram in the summer of 2000. In August, PN performed at Belgiums largest alternative festival: Pukkelpop. The band received a warm welcome from hundreds of enthusiast hardcore fans, resulting in a moving pit and a great response
*** Entering 2001 recording n5 ***
PN is found in Dé Studio again to record half a dozen of new songs. Add two live videos taped at the Pukkelpop-gig in 2000 to form a new mini cd, titled Dreamwave Heroes. This mini cd is released on Stick to the Core Records. Some of the songs are also featured on a split with the Portuguese band Twenty Inch Burial, released in September of that year by the Spanish indie-label Underhill Records (Half Foot Outside, Uziel or Nous).
*** Entering 2003 the art of avoiding concert madness ***
After some hectic years with bags of concerts in and outside of Belgium and appearances at different festivals in the summer of 2000, 2001 and 2002 (Pukkelpop, M-Town Fest, Rock Herk, Inside Knowledge Festival, Boardcore, Vortn Vis/Ieper festival, Dour Festival, Funtime festival),
PN slows down the concert rate and starts focusing on a new album. "The art of being 'we'" shows a the most personal side of the band. The album sprays intriguing moods that breathe melancholy, intensity, aggression and intimacy. The unique sound of the band has matured further on and the result of all this can be heard on this 6 song collection.
Soon after the release of "The art of being 'we'" in Europe, PN got contacted by the American Life Sentence Records. This US label licenses a US version of this mini album, which is released in May. For this US version, PN records some extra songs and the Dreamwave heroes ep is also added as a bonus. Concert wise theres trips to Spain, the amazing Frederica Fest in Denmark and a lot of shows in Belgium and the Netherlands.
*** Entering 2004 Its all about moods ***
The year of experiment brings piano player Tom Bessemans to the rehearsal room. Rearranged versions of existing songs and some new semi-acoustic songs were brought live during a 5-gig special tour. The last session at the MOD in Hasselt was recorded to become "Live at the MOD" and is released in September of 2004 on the newly born (live) label DoKument Rcs.
*** Entering 2006 ***
PN finishes off and releases "Through satin veils gropes desire". This album shows the more progressive and atmospheric side of the band. The record gets really good reviews in most of the press (wellknown Oor magazine f.e. calls 'through satin veils...' the best album in the band's carreer.) Throughout 2006, PN plays a whole bunch of shows and at the end of 2006 the band decided to take a 'live' break. They are already working hard on the new songs and want to concentrate on this completely without the need to play shows in the meantime. After 15 years and more than 600 shows it's time for an inspiring break from the live front.
*** Entering 2008 ***
After well earned 'take it easy', the song writing for the new album starts, and PN sails through the flemmish part of belgium for their 'yes indeed, we're still alive'-tour, also serving as try-out for some of the new material.In november of 2008, PN start the recording of the brandnew album 'From What Rivers Have to Offer' at DéStudio and the Sugarbeat studio.
*** Entering 2009 ***
Lot's of time goes to mixing and validating the mastering process of the new album and the folding of the inlay poster of the limited Wooden Box edition (thanks to Guillaume for the excellent work!). Wixel also added some more exitement by adding a superb moody mix of the third song on the album. 2009 will furthermore be more rehearsing, freeing the mind and playing as many shows as possible...
