Behind the Sun play north desert heavy music, a storm over the wasteland cutting the landscape, revealing ancient spirits and modern madness.
Journalist Ronen Tzomer of Keshet Interactive (Israel’s channel 2 TV) described the band thus: "Behind the Sun combines the jams of the 60's, the golden age of 70’s prog rock and the grinding guitars of the 90's to sound just right".
Behind the Sun released their debut studio album to the world on June 11, 2009. A year and a half in the making, the album features 12 original songs produced by the band and Solstice Coil keyboardist/producer Shai Yallin. The album will be available for sale both domestically in local music shops and also to international listeners via Amazon.com and Amie St. Behind the Sun will be touring Israel this summer in support of the album and are making a series of promotional radio appearances on the following Israeli stations: Radio Tel Aviv 102FM, Radio Mount Scopus 106FM in Jerusalem, Radio Kol-Ha-Campus 106 FM in Netanya, Radio Voice of the Negev 106.4 FM, Radio Upper Galilee 105.3 FM, and Radio One 89.1 FM.
Behind the Sun was formed on the edges of Israel’s vast Negev desert. The music and lyrics on their debut album speak of their personal trials and tribulations living in this heavenly but harsh land. This self titled debut album contains: heavy, electric, tube driven riffing, an interlocking, charging and grooving rhythm section, blended with progressive styles and sensibilities and their own skeptical, cynical, but in the end positive philosophy as written word and amplified sound. The music and the musicians themselves are influenced and inspired by 70s progressive rock, 90s grunge and modern heavy music including such diverse touchstones as The Who, Opeth, The Grateful Dead, King Crimson, Mastodon, Tool, Zeppelin, Alice in Chains, John Coltrane and Faith No More. The lyrics deal with, among other things, the breakdown of society, loss, decay, personal relationships gone |
