Autumn

Autumn是一支来自荷兰的Gothic Metal乐队，成立于1995年，虽然他们出生于歌特金属大国荷兰，但是他们的音乐听起来不太像歌特，反而比较有Alternative Rock的味道。   Autumn的首张专辑“When Lust Evokes The Curse”于2002年发行，之后乐队就开始参与一些节庆的演出，像是Dynamo, Lowlands, Waldrock, Fields Of Rock, Metal Female Voices Fest and M’Era Luna...等等。除了这些之外，Autumn还做为Cradle Of Filth和Within Temptation的巡回演唱佳宾，并多次在荷兰演出。他们的第二张专辑“Summer’s End”在2004年发行，表现出更加成熟的Autumn，缓慢且稳定地设法让音乐不局限于哥特摇滚。到了“My New Time”这张专辑Autumn不舍弃过去，但是增加了更多强而有力的思想理念，和一些相似的音乐。Autumn对这张专辑具有强大的信心，就如同专辑名称“My New Time”一样充满着光明的未来。   这张专辑将由Metal Blade Records于全球同步发行，在这个优秀的公司支持下，My New Time是Autumn迎向国际和全新未来的第一步。 在这张专辑发行不久后，很可惜的女主唱Nienke De Jong退出了Autumn这个团体。但他们并不因此灰心，很快的在2008年便寻找到新的女主唱Marjan Welman，他们的新专辑已经录制完成了，将于2009年2月13日发行。   W inter 2009 heralds the return of Dutch heavy rock collective Autumn to the forefront with a new intense and diverse album: Altitude. In many ways a logical progression from 2007抯 highly acclaimed album My New Time, it does present us with one surprising change: one of voice, introducing rising star Marjan Welman, taking over vocal duties from Nienke de Jong.   My New Time was a bold statement: "Through all adversity, here we are and we're here to stay." Let us not forget Autumn had already faced more setbacks than most bands would have been able to endure. It had not strayed them from course. However, fate had one more trick up its sleeve. Early 2008, vocalist and front woman extraordinaire Nienke decided to part ways with Autumn, leaving the band faced with their most difficult decision yet. Against all odds, the five remaining band members decided that this could not possibly spell the end of their musical endeavor and since the main body of composers and lyricists remained, the search was on for a new vocalist. Guitarist Jens: "It was clear that we wouldn't set out to find a second Nienke. There would be no one worthy of taking her place if that were our aim. Instead, we looked for someone whose voice, as well as personality, would gel perfectly with the Autumn that had risen with My New Time."
