Formed in the mid 90's and hailing from Calgary, Alberta (Canada),
releveleR is the one-man project of Krhys Wiebe. While citing bands
such as Skinny Puppy, Lassigue Bendthaus, Covenant, and Gary Numan
as major influences, alongside a vested interest in 80's synthpop & new
wave to 90's electro & industrial, releveleR manages to craft a sound
that not only defies easy comparison, but also remains distinctly his
own and not limited to any one musical scene or genre.
After appearing on a string of several industrial related compilations
as well as lending production & remix aid to a variety of fellow Calgary
based electronic bands throughout the late 90's and early 2000's,
releveleR ultimately signed with the Interdimensional Industries label.
The first official output of this collaboration was the "Untouched"
single in 2004, released as limited edition 12" translucent red vinyl
featuring the title track in its original form as well as three remixes.
Shortly thereafter, remixes for bands such as Flesh Field, Call Me Alice,
Phase Theory and others were undertaken, subsequently
establishing releveleR as a strong up & coming new talent to keep an eye on.
With the impending release of releveleR's anticipated debut full length
on the horizon, the "Untouched" single was released again in 2007, this
time as a full fledged remix EP featuring enhanced production, multiple
versions of the title track and exclusive b-sides all meant to act as
teaser prelude to the upcoming "Incipient" album.
After a series of unexpected delays that seemingly come with every
band's first album effort, "Incipient" finally became a reality and was
officially released in the summer of 2008. Along with boasting the
likes of Pete Jones from P.I.L. fame lending backing vocals, guitar &
production work, the album itself features 12 tracks of dark electronic
ambience, thick synthetic overtures, and a brooding cover version of
Gary Numan's "Dominion Day" that has already quickly turned into a fan
favorite.
And this is only the beginning. Already completed and in the pipeline
for an October 2008 release is the companion remix EP of "Your Flavor" -
the second lead single taken from "Incipient" featuring remix work from
Pete Jones, Phase Theory, Karl Mohr and a hypnotic cover version of
Depeche Mode's "To Have And To Hold".
