#012 - Apples of Idun

Another Finnish band to this list also. I'm familiar with the Apples of Iduns work already earlier. Never really got the good touch to this though. There's not that many industrial bands in Finland, but overall the quality is quite high. Apples of Idun just released their second album last year and it has received quite nice feedback and I anyway have to admit also that this is not bad at all. That final "hook" ís just missing still, maybe every once and awhile they are a bit too 80s for my taste.

Apples of Iduns combination of dark landscapes, occasional distorted guitars, "symphonic" backgrounds and unfortunately maybe little too cliche samples creates quite nice sound. And they do know how to vary their sound to keep everything interesting.

Here's the video track, The Bang, of their latest Disaster Art release.
