Divorce, a friend's suicide, a loss in the family, your
record label goes out of business, taking with it a good
chunk of the music scene...the past 12 months have not
been kind to PRIDE AND FALL. But the events have
clearly left their mark on the title, lyrics, and artwork
of their new album, "In My Time Of Dying", which was
largely written during this trying period. As so often
happens during periods of personal crisis, creative
energies can flourish, and the Norwegian trio have
summarily delivered an electronic masterpiece.
You needn't be a mindreader to see the dark threads running through this album.
When the album artwork consists of depictions of three young artists as old and
decrepit, with split fingernails, thinning hair, and sagging shoulders, it's
clear this is more than just some marketing gag. „Its about how everything ends,
crumbles apart and withers. Things that get taken away from you without you
having any control over it.“ Accordingly, PRIDE AND FALL have gone to great
lengths to make this, quite possibly the last album of their career, their most
intense and professional. While highly danceable, much of the album's tracks are
underscored by a certain penetrating darkness, especially "The Painful Regret",
"My Little", and "In My Time Of Dying", reflecting the intensity of experience
dealt out by the hand of fate. While PRIDE AND FALL might come to an end with
this album, the album itself will live on, a testament to a band who have
immortalized their sorrows in a remarkable way. Released on Metropolis Records
