They are back! Finest Progressive Deathrock from Salt Lake City. The Cold Caress is a concept album based on the story "...in the cold caress" written by Vision. The sound of The Cold Caress can be described as a mixture of melodic batcave glam, new wave deathrock, old goth post-punk, and electro dance. Whereas their debut "The Decadent Requiem" with its wildness was related to the element of fire, The Cold Caress is the "water"-album: cold, but never lacking power - a modern masterpiece of end-times-Deathrock with tasteful electronic support. With dancefloor smashers such as "Bodies On The Avenue" and more traditional Batcave-hymns such as "June‘s Dying" on the one hand, genre borders transcending eruptions such as „Missing Miles“ or „Schneid Das Blau“ reminiscent more of Skinny Puppy and Marilyn Manson than Sex Gang Children or Cinema Strange on the other, the band around frontman Vision skilfully bridges this scene's origins and the today like noone else! And from amidst this comes their excellent choice for a cover version: „Reptile“ by Melancholic-Wave-Rockers The Church. While the current line up; Vision - Vocals, Vyle - Bass, Seputus - Drums, and Jesse James - Guitar is somewhat new, the founding members Vision and Vyle have released various self-released CD's since their inception in 2000 and their ‘Decadent Requiem’ debut on Strobelights in February 2006 was one of the most successful releases on the label!
