SENSUAL NOISE (Belgium, Atmospheric / Experimental Downtempo)

BIOGRAPHY


Sensual Noise (http://www.sensualnoise.be) made its first steps during the summer of 2004. Four good friends started making music together and soon the first concerts followed. Since 2006 we started playing more experimental and slower music and in 2007 David joined us as a 2nd bass player.

From that moment we played around 50 shows, among them at an abandoned stone factory, on the beach and at the lappersfort forest occupation.
We did a 3-day mini-tour with Corova (ger) through Belgium and the Netherlands and we shared stages with bands such as Kylesa, Rosetta, Amen Ra, Bossk, Tephra, Overmars, Jakuzi�s Attempt, Alpinist, .Maudlin, Do androids dream of electric sheep?, �



As a band we stand for evolution and movement, we make music that we don�t experience as being played a thousand times before and will continue to be an eclectic collection of  a variation of influences.

The band name itself is more an ironic guideline then some kind of tough or cool label on our music or attitude. Due to the fact that we are most of all rooted in hardcore-punk and screamo scenes we�re d.i.y. oriented, not really fixed on the financial aspect and most of all not afraid of the socio-political aspect.

DISCOGRAPHY


Chasing Swans (2010)



Tracklist:
01. Step into motion (4:07)
02. Red pelican black cat (7:23)
03. Battle of the ants (6:38)
04. Agoraphobe on fire (8:25)
05. Moving through borders (3:55)

With "Chasing Swans" Sensual Noise presents itself more varied, more intense and stronger than ever. Musically "Chasing Swans" is a dynamic puzzle of styles and influences, but thematically it is one whole. In that whole you�ll find subjects such as the liberating aspect of movement, political activism, the need to put things in other perspectives and reflection on itself. All of these come together in each of the songs, and each track is in this way a different view on the same whole of subjects. In many aspects "Chasing Swans" is a natural evolution in comparision to "Psychedelic Bugtown". But this doesn�t have to mean that there�s little or no difference at all between both releases, on the contrary.







Apr�s le d�luge (2009)



Tracklist:
1. The Blanchwood Spacefolk: There's Something Out There
2. Eye of Daw: Tales of Restless Nights
3. Karoshi: Arpeg
4. Krati: Last Days of Light
5. Mount Venus: I Catalyse
6. Musth: March of the Elephants
7. P:407: Face of End (remix)
8. Salvador: We�re Here To Tell (edit)
9. Saturn Trip: Speed Phantom
10. Sensual Noise: 27
11. Zeus Walks The Earth: All Indians, No Chiefs



Psychedelig Bugtown (2008)



Tracklist:
01. 27 (6:50)
02. 27 part III (8:15)

Our First demo, Psychedelic Bugtown, saw its first morning glory in November 2008. The two tracks, 15 minutes of music, were recorded all together in one take. Both lyrics and artwork are part of a bigger concept : our experiences with today�s world, it�s decadence and desire to waste, it�s hierarchical systems and self-sufficiency, reflected in the image of the city. Although they strongly differ atmospherically the two tracks flow over softly into each other and are in this way two perspectives on the same topic. All the artwok is designed by ourselves and all 84, partly handmade, pieces are sold out.

Wonderful cover art in Chasing Swans Clap I'll be checking this out.
 
I can resize the cover to 500x500 when I get home (if my internet access works, which it hasn't done in a while) and upload it.

Sensual Noise are now added: http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/sensual-noise.aspx
 
I�m a bit unsure about the status of Chasing Swans though. Do you consider the release an EP or a full-length album?

Thanks UMUR!
I'm thinking too, the length of "Chasing Swans" is about 30 minutes but it contains 5 long songs...
How can I add streaming music to our metalarchive page? How can I add other reviews to the page?

All members of MMA are able to write reviews ( that�s the beauty of this site), so basically you can ask all the members you like, if they would like to review your album. This is the place to do that: http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/forum/forum_topics.asp?FID=80

I�m not too sure about the streaming thing, but you can ask questions like that here: Hmm... I just noticed that there isn�t a questions section yet on the site ( mind you this is a pretty new site, and we�re still working to make it betterSmile). I�ll ask for admin assistence to create such a thread. I�ll get back to you on that one.

Umur just posted his review of our new release "Chasing Swans". Thanks for the review and the kind words! We appreciate it!

"Chasing Swans is an album full of innovative and creative ideas and while that doesn�t always equal being original, it�s still something that get most acts far. Fans of atmospheric post metal should love this one. A 3.5 - 4 star rating is deserved."
