Catalog Number: 19802822841 Color: Black Format: LP UPC: 198028228411 "With Cemetery Skyline, we're stepping into previously untrodden musical directions - those darker alleys that we hold dear in our hearts but haven't really wandered before. And we're collectively very excited!" For Cemetery Skyline Markus Vanhala (Insomnium, Omnium Gatherum) is joined by keyboardist Santeri Kallio (Amorphis), drummer Vesa Ranta (Sentenced, The Abbey), bassist Victor Brandt (Dimmu Borgir and many more) and singer Mikael Stanne (Dark Tranquillity, The Halo Effect). "We all share a deep love for goth rock from the 80s and 90s - whether it's more synth-driven or heavier guitar-dominated stuff. You know the deal with the best bands from The Sisters of Mercy to Type O Negative", says Santeri Kallio, who shares songwriting duties with Vanhala. "But is Cemetery Skyline a goth band? Maybe to an extent, but that's certainly not the whole story. If you have to describe Cemetery Skyline's diverse music somehow, do us a favor and call us ambassadors of melodic, melancholic and dark rock. Thank you."
