Gevolt Coming to America

LILTees will know that I found Gevolt fairly recently, and took a real shine to them. I've interviewed them, and listen to their music a lot. They should appeal to many of the same people Rammstein do, but have a unique and genuinely eclectic sound, comprising the industrial riffs of Rammstein, the utterly beautiful musical themes of Yiddish music, with an eerily fragile touch of violin, and a really awesome male vocalist who ticks many of the boxes Lindemann does, and a few more. Their cultural influences are those of the nations of the former USSR and Israel, and Europe in general seems to be touched upon in their overall vibe.

Right now they're in the early stages of planning a tour of the USA. They've kicked off a dedicated Twitter stream for this, so if you're in the US spread the word, share the current album (free unless like me you feel it's worth paying for), and give them feedback.

As they get things nailed down I'll let you know.
