Reism's songs focus on the darker side of life. They're primarily about the betrayals and cruelty of love that mankind inflicts against its own.
In 2003 Tom and ex-drummer Joe began working together on the idea that would become Reism, and after a year of developing their sound, Kirsten joined and Reism became a reality. Blending influences as diverse as Nine inch Nails, Nightwish, Lacuna Coil, and Soilwork, The interplay of live and electronic instrumentation works perfectly, as it blends and shifts between the two genres creatively, satisfying fans of both successfully.
After releasing their debut album "Lifestyle Product" in 2005 the band have been working tirelessly to produce and perform their music. Reism have been building a strong fan base all over the world, and been performing not only in Liverpool, but throughout the UK and in Norway as well.
Currently Reism are finishing off their new E.P. which should be released in March 2008. This shows a real progression as the band have come into their own and defined their niche.

“Tight as the screws in Frankenstein’s neck. Somewhere slightly similar to Evanescence in line up and Within Temptation for theatrics, Reism have something that most others bands don't, they're intriguing.” AJJ Glasswork.co.uk Friday 7th Dec
“The interplay of live and electronic instrumentation works perfectly, it blends and shifts between the two genres creatively…It's dark, it's sexy, with an energetic thirst that keeps you engaged. This isn't background music. This is brilliantly sequenced, moody and dynamic." Sarah Angell Devolution Magazine 15 Christmas 07
“Excellent production work! A big sound that offers clarity and challenges along with very simple musical hooks. Hard to pull off but you guys succeed.” Taxi A&R ID 216
“The vocals of Kirsten are strong, striking, and downright sexy. Her performances on these songs, for me, helps to sell the ideas...Your band has a keen sense of structure, and a strong use of melody...You guys have the vocals (!) structure, use of melody down. Period.” Taxi A&R ID 169
“Excellent …with some spine-tingling moments. Highlights include the excellent choruses…competent and interesting heavy detuned guitar chord voicings and some excellent vocals from Kirsten Jørgensen. It's certainly worth a listen.” John Harris Sound On Sound magazine March 2005
The name Reism comes from the term Reification, which means "the regarding of an abstract concept as a concrete object." The music of Reism is a fusion of gothic, industrial, and electronic rock- Rocktronica. The combination of heavy guitar riffs, live electronic drums, dirty synths, and soaring vocals make for an interesting and complex musical experience.
Reism: Lifestyle Product is now available to buy online at the Reism Shop. The full length, unsigned debut contains 11 tracks for your tormented soul. For more information, check out Reism.com or sign up for the Reism newsletter.
