November 5, 2008, 15 years ago
Swedish rockers KOREA will be releasing their debut album, For The Present Purpose via ViciSolum Productions in Sweden on November 28th and throughout the rest of the world on January 19th.
A video for the band's upcoming single 'GPHH38' is in the making.
Korea was formed in Stockholm in 2003 and American producer Blake Althen contacted the band and together they produced a self titled EP. Due to different views of the future sound of Korea, the band parted ways with Blake Althen in 2005.
In 2006 the band begun to shape a new heavy sound which reached the attention of ViciSolum Productions, which signed the band in 2008. Korea's sound can be described as a journey in different music styles with a Swedish melancholic spine. In essence, a beautiful array of harmonies and melodies, combined with a heavy rhythmic section.
The preview track 'Grovwng Apathy' from the album can be heard at this location.
