Hi all. Just a quick introduction to our music. We are ENOCHIAN THEORY, a 3 piece 'prog' band from deepest, darkest Portsmouth on the south coast of England. Our debut album, entitled 'Evolution: Creatio Ex Nihilio' will be available from Anomalousz Music Records/Code 7/Plastichead in August. You are most welcome to visit our pretty homepage and check out our efforts: http://www.enochiantheory.co.uk - www.enochiantheory.co.uk The album was mixed and mastered by David Castillo, who has worked with OPETH and KATATONIA, amongst other 'progressive metal' acts and was recorded by the band. We've been confirmed to play PROG POWER in Holland this year alongside some amazing acts...so we're are incredibly pleased to have been recognised for our hard work over the last few years. Comments, conversation and queries always welcome. Thanks for your time. Ben ------------- www.enochiantheory.co.uk www.myspace.com/enochiantheoryband "Direction...what we need to achieve..." |

Hello all along overdue update on how things are shaping up for Enochian Theory. Under a week to go before the release of Evolution: Creatio Ex Nihilio on the 3rd of August and things are getting pretty crazy.
Here’s just a little update on what the band have been up to recently and exciting things on the horizon. Upcoming press coverage Over the coming weeks and months, the band will be appearing in the following rock and metal magazines here in the U.K. They are... - Big Cheese magazine out on the 29th of July The band also has confirmed reviews in the following rock and metal magazines around Europe... Inferno Magazine - Finland - Review confirmed
Many thanks to Johnny Doom at Kerrang Radio, for giving the new album its 1st official airplay. He’s played the track “Apathia” from the new album on his Temple Of Doom shows on Kerrang Radio. He picks his own playlist and has expressed his admiration for the band to Shaun. Hopefully there will be some further developments on this front shortly. http://www.kerrangradio.co.uk/Article.asp?id=483079 - http://www.kerrangradio.co.uk/Article.asp?id=483079
A massive thanks to Bruce Dickinson for playing the band on his BBC Radio 6 rock show on Friday 17th July and confirming that he will again play the band on his show on the 7th of August. The monstrous album closer 'A Monument To The Death Of An Idea' was the track chosen by the legendary Iron Maiden front man and here are some the highlights from what he said about the band... "This album is most definitely designed as an album. You have to listen to it from start to finish...The album is quite diverse; it ranges far and wide and ideally needs to be savoured in one sitting...... Interesting stuff..." You can listen to the excerpt from the 17th July show by visiting the bands MySpace page and selecting the 'A Monument To The Death Of An Idea' file on from the media player. http://www.myspace.com/enochiantheoryband - http://www.myspace.com/enochiantheoryband . Or you can listen via the internet, both live and archived, via the BBC Radio Player.
The band did a live on air interview with http://www.Therockshow.co.uk - http://www.Therockshow.co.uk interspersed with music from the new album on the 20th July.
The band has so far had more than thirty reviews from around Europe on the internet. They’ve come from as far and wide as Holland, Germany, Spain, Finland, France, Ukraine, Romania, Sweden, Denmark, Italy, Norway, Poland, Greece, Belgium and the U.K. You can read transcripts of every review of the band on our website but below are some of the highlights so far.
Outstanding... Awesome.... and Brilliant
For a three piece they have a huge, anathematic sound that on the surface often seems light and reflective but with a simmering dark undercurrent that makes for a compelling experience.
Orchestration is exquisite and atmospheric... Each of the three musicians on his instrument is in a class by itself... Dreamy Prog...... A great work of art.
One of the most interesting progressive rock releases of the year....
Enochian Theory have created a mammoth of an album. Filled with monumental landscapes, soaring melodies and a strangely hypnotic quality, this is truly an album that you can get lost in.
This is almost 50 minutes of progrock/metal bliss.... Truly inventive musical passages & song structures, efficient instrumentation & singing and above all great songs which make for a great album in general.
One of the best debut albums I've ever heard..... These musicians understand perfectly what Progressive means, they are not kidding like some Prog tainted acts, they collect and combine all the music that can be called Progressive with a commendable mastery, from Pink Floyd to Meshuggah, from King Crimson to Mogwai. You are going to be simply amazed when you listen to this album...
Unique atmosphere..... The sound is rich and luxurious......
Immediate and spontaneous, giving the listener the illusion that we are witnessing a sort of stream of consciousness music also enriched from keyboards and orchestrations.
Massive, beautiful, dimmed, moody, provocative and touching.....
The range provided by Enochian theory is more than some can provide throughout a career....
Melancholic, Apocalyptic, Beautiful in their diversity.... A single pathway that branches off in multiple directions, embracing styles and sound leaving space for imagination..., The journey within minutes of the music....This is certainly an experience......
Very interesting music.... Produced by and unique sound... The music has a perfect contrast between slow cold like ice melodies, spontaneous like fits of anger and incredible walls of massive metal sound.... It’s a unique masterpiece of metal music....
You have got to listen to the album in one piece and then let the soundscape float around in your system. It certainly is progressive and at times also with traces of death metal, but they've got a unique sound. I don't have to tell you it's great now, do I?
For being a three piece act they have a huge sound base that never gives up. It just manages to build and build until its standing above all the rest. To sum this all up is simple, ‘Evolution Creation Ex Nihilio’ by ENOCHIAN THEORY is worthy of a listen one time through, if you go for a second round of it, you'll be drowning in a pool of pure amazement.
Calmative parts have a therapeutic effect.
“Evolution: Creatio Ex Nihilio" will destroy everything in its path! Because here is an opus which, in addition to embracing a diverse musical spectrum, should also attract a large enough public ... This album is a real nugget that has many apparatuses, all more attractive and hypnotic as the others! This musical entity will win everything in the months and years to come...
Innovative, intelligent and experimental....One of the most colourful and versatile melting pots I've heard for some time... The picture they are painting is abstract, obscure and profound, creating a piece of art that has a lot more to offer than meets the eye... ------------- www.enochiantheory.co.uk www.myspace.com/enochiantheoryband "I am the coming of a new age, pass your sh*t by far..." |

I really enjoyed the myspace samples and voted yes right away too. I´ve checked the PMT chart at ProgFreak and it seems that Enochian Theory have been cleared for addition: http://progfreak.com/home/progarchives.xhtml?path=pm/cleared - http://progfreak.com/home/progarchives.xhtml?path=pm/clearedThis means that all we need is a bio ( unbiased and non promotional) and a picture to add the band to PA. You´re welcome to send a bio and a link to a picture to me if you want to speed the process ( I might make a few cuts if I think that it´s neccessary). The normal procedure is that we write a bio, but we´re only able to write a bio from the usually sparse info on the internet and I can´t promise that it´s our first priority. As you can see from the link there are many artists waiting to be added. ------------- http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/" rel="nofollow - Metal Music Archives https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

Hi UMUR.
I've just okayed it with Ben and will put a bio together for the band which I will forward to you with a promotional picture.
I'll use their wikipedia page as a base
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enochian_Theory - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enochian_Theory
and flesh it out with information that the band would liek to include. The wiki bio should be impartial by its very nature, so anything I add will keep with that theme.
Hope that is okay? ------------- www.enochiantheory.co.uk www.myspace.com/enochiantheoryband "I am the coming of a new age, pass your sh*t by far..." |

That sounds great. Just make sure not to copy and paste from wiki. We can get in trouble because of copyright. Using Wiki for inspiration is perfectly allright though. ------------- http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/" rel="nofollow - Metal Music Archives https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |
