In ancient Kabbalah, it is believed that the universe was created out of two opposite emanations. With the fall of man, these emanations intertwined, to leave us in a world of paradoxes. An awkward reality of a life made of opposite emanations, from binary to good and evil. Atomic polarity. Ying, Yang, Fire, Water. The fanatical deviation of the worlds religions through the deification of evil via the worshipping of guilt. A time in which hybrid dogmas swarm upon the earth. In this great mix up, we stop, we wonder, is there an absolute reality hiding behind a distorted one? Music is considered a lower level of prophecy. As we step into this new millennium, we encounter numerous strains of what use to be called music. Drowned in this chaos, we feel an urge for something different. WESTERNDREAM proposes an attempt to retrieve the sparkles of light lost in the darkness. The devil is on God's payroll.
Music for the post millennium dance floors for beings who want to dance without turning their mind off. For WESTERNDREAM, the Theatricals are part of the music when it comes to live performances: belly dancers, contortionists, Fire, live Reptiles as well as videos and animations. A time traveling circus for the end of days. The shows were well acclaimed in Eastern Europe in 1996. They also performed with Switchblade Symphony, Talamasca, Rhea's Obsession, LTNO, Luxt and D.N.A. APOCALYPTIC TRANCE ROCK A
rock skeleton enveloped by trance-industrial rhythms and laced with biblical
melodies. The songs combine incisive guitar lines, tribal drumming, ethnic
percussion and pounding bass, to deliver powerful mood-oriented music.
From techno-hardcore to drum 'n bass to trancy-goa to neo-classical elements,
there is no boundaries, a melodic journey where past, present and future
melt in a whirlwind of post industrial rhythms to deliver a powerful soundscape
not exclusively for the dance floor but for the mind as well. The
vocals preach existentialist laments of a dying age, through lyrics intended
as a guideline for an epic journey, in a world of apocalyptic fantasies.
Witnessing the evolution of our universe, the voices metamorphoses into
tortured characters resisting the helpless feeling we have toward the
clashing events around us.
