Музыка и песни Ribozyme / Ribozyme

CD, Album

While still unmistakably Ribozyme, this album goes even further in exploring the harmonic hive mind of Kjartan Ericsson and Bård Bøge whilst providing unfettered rhythmic work from Cato Olaisen - the vocal work is strongly emphasized and adds new depths and subtleties to their trademark sound, occasionally described as a hybrid of Tool, Nine Inch Nails, Oceansize and Alice in Chains. It has been three years since the release of Ribozyme’s “Presenting the Problem”, the band’s first release on Indie Recordings. The release of an album, which according to Corey Mitchell of Metalsucks “grooves the fuck out without trying to be hipster cool”, led Ribozyme to do their biggest yet Norwegian tour in 2012. The band was also invited to support “…And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead” on the European leg of their tour, spring of 2013, a tour that would become a massive inspiration for the writing of the new album. The band wanted to do be more oriented towards the rehearsal room in the making of “Grinding Tune” as opposed to the studio-based approach they did on Presenting the Problem. Bård comments: “As the songs [for “Grinding Tune”] was starting to develop, it became evident that the album needed a simpler production approach than their previous album. I feel we’ve gotten better at exploiting the power of simplicity in our album production, and the result is a warmer and more organic sounding album.” Record Label: Indie Recordings Style: Alternative Rock

For over a decade Ribozyme has been a connoisseur’s choice and a frontrunner for the diversity and integrity of Norwegian rock and metal - a taste of the Michelin Guide. Ribozyme’s solid approach to their work has been evident from day one: refined soundscapes where every nuance is carefully painted out in wallwide tapestries of sophisticated rock. A continuous effort to evolve and congeal true identity has led Ribozyme to be compared to numerous giants of their genre. From Tool to Filter, from Nine Inch Nails to Sigur Rôs, although the distance to the above has never been greater. Ribozyme is truly a nation of its own, as evident by their fifth album: Presenting the Problem. Once again Ribozyme continue to push boundaries and redefine the trio format, through a horizontal vision on songwriting and, in the words of lead singer and guitarist Kjartan Ericsson; ”combining power, precision and melody in an unpretentious way (…) when writing we’re always looking for the vibe or mood that i Record Label: Indie Recordings Style: Metal/Rock
