Far From Your Sun biography
A French combo FAR FROM YOUR SUN were founded in mid 2010s as an "anonymous" project with such a mysterious story as below:

"Art can be universal and transcend cultures, points of view, traits and many other things. It can connect us with one another and it can make the world a lot better and a lot more meaningful for a lot of people out there. That is the core basis of our project, Far From Your Sun, and what we have to offer. The expression FAR FROM YOUR SUN is a reference to how human beings can live fulfilled and happy in the shadow of the artificial lights, far from the fads, far from a flattering, but often elusive, misleading sun. This is something we have always wanted to express through Rock music, combined with the beauty and oftentimes tragic feel of poetry, thus making for a very compelling and unique experience. This musical project is not an ego trip or something we do for personal glory, which is why the FAR FROM YOUR SUN band is completely anonymous and studio-based."

Their debut full-length album entitled "In The Beginning ... Was The Emotion" was released in February, 2016.

Review by Rivertree
Special Collaborator Honorary Collaborator / Band Submissions

The members are hailing from Paris, France. And that's pretty much all we are allowed to know about this band that is entitled FAR FROM YOUR SUN. Of course they are free to stay totally anonymous, and they certainly are not the first. On the other hand, I really don't know any argument why they should hide themselves. Just for the simple reason that they obviously are offering sorta highly prolific art to be proud of. Actually not reduced on producing music solely. Means it also includes the approach to combine this with other backgrounds such as photography, painting and writing. Yep, get your specific impression by visiting their official website. Apparently 'In The Beginning ... Was The Emotion', it all started with the debut album in 2016, but now we are talking about their sophomore effort. Based on a wide range of musical influences 'The Origin Of Suffering' is delivering a really clever mix of heavy rocking and highly melodic, pathetic, and melancholic moments.

And so this album delivers one hour of captivating music in total, including excellent vocals as well as dominant guitars, constantly alternating between different styles and mode of expression. For example Water for Osiris features psychedelic but also metal riffing moments in the same way. The wonderful song couple The Hand And The Voice and La Fuite De La Lune on the other hand is focussed on acoustic piano and guitar plus proper orchestral chamber imprints. Regarding this eminently melancholic atmosphere I Felt A Funeral, In My Brain should also be counted in here. While being in the appropriate mood this will bring tears to your eyes, guaranteed. On the other hand an enormous groove is to state concerning Where Planets Die. Finally let me also emphasize the extraordinary drumming on the initiating album highlight A Crown Without Thorns. I strongly recommend to listen to this, won't let you go anymore. 4.5 stars.

Thanks to dAmOxT7942 for the artist addition.
