Shiv-R - Parasite (CDM) (2008)

GENRE..... Electro, Industrial
LABEL...... n/a
MODE....... VBRkbps / Joint-Stereo
REL.DATE.. 09-02-2008

Shiv-r is a new force in the field of dark
electronic music. The heavy and unsettling
atmosphere generated by the band is at times
intended for the clubs, and at times drawn to a
slow, grinding pace for full dramatic impact.
The key characteristics of the Shiv-r sound are
haunting, neoclassical melodies, harsh percussive
club sounds, clean male vocals delivered in shouts
and whispers, sparse rhythm guitars and an
overwhelming dark atmosphere.

The duo consists of Lee Bulig and Pete Crane, with
both collaborating on the music and Pete taking up
main vocal duties. The 2 members have already built
up an impressive discography prior to starting this
project.
Lee Bulig is the solo mastermind of projects Stark,
which released 2 albums and 1 EPCD on GUP, and Neon
Womb, releasing 1 album on Cranial Fracture
Recordings.
Pete Crane is responsible for creating all music
for The Crystalline Effect, releasing 2 albums and
1 EPCD on different labels, and Plague Sequence,
with 1 EP and 1 album released on digital labels.

The 2 members are originally from Australia,
however none of the music for Shiv-r was actually
written in Australia. Since 2007 Lee Bulig has been
living in Bangkok, Thailand, and Pete Crane has
been living in London. Pete has used this time in
Europe touring regularly and performing with his
own projects and as a guest in other bands at
internationally reknowned gothic/industrial
festivals and clubs. Lee's past releases were
infamous for their unsettling darkness and were
reviewed to draw directly from the depraved aspects
of humanity, and his time in the pollution and
uncertainty of Bangkok has fed this.
Despite the geographical distance, the 2
personalities have been collaborating on music in
various projects for the better part of the last 10
years, so are in tune enough to write together in
sync over long distances.

A maxi-single will be launched in July 2008. Stay

(Kong)'s tales of life in Bangkok and his pechant
