KLONE - LE GRAND VOYAGE
(Kscope Records)www.bertus.com
In recent years, French atmospheric rockers Klone have built their name on making music that’s as deeply introspective as it is sonically powerful. They’re known for their trademark dark guitar tones and epic brooding soundscapes. They’ve performed in the UK with French metal titans Gojira, toured with Devin Townsend and landed support for Anneke Van Giersbergen.
The new album ‘Le Grand Voyage’ turned bold sonic ambition, twisting dark guitars and electronic ambience into a modern masterpiece that feels excitingly new, yet in many ways feels like a contemporary take on Pink Floyd’s Dark Side Of The Moon. They continue with making less heavy music than the first albums, but always stay dark. Now is an exciting time for progressive music, says Guillaume, because audiences are open-minded. “We don’t have to respect any particular rules when making this music.” “Sometimes rock music has no soul,” explains Guillaume. “That’s why bands like Anathema are so important – they can go deep enough to touch their audience. We try to have the same sincerity of our music. I think you have to be reaching for something higher, possessed by something stronger and deeper. …”
“Me and Yann were watching documentaries about near death experiences,” continues the Klone guitarist. “We’re no specialists on the subject, but we found it exciting to think about. Our music is really connected to universe. We used a lot of reverb, almost as if we were to touch everything in space… we wanted our music to resonate in the cosmos!”
