Black We?ve presented Curt and Holly Emmer of BLEEDING LIKE MINE with a large Interview in our last issue and now the first CD-Album of these American Duo was released on PALACE OF WORMS. Curt told us the truth and together with his wife Holly, Michael Rush (Voice), Ian Wickramasekera (Voice), Eric Gosnell (Bass) and Gil Petrovic (Guitar) he made an album with 13 tracks , which includes a few songs from the last Tape-Release of BLEEDING LIKE MINE. for example “Idaho” and “Willow”. Together with some newer material I like this album as a whole and it makes me think: “Why don?t they sign a contract with PROJEKT RECORDS?” Beside LOVE SPIRALS DOWNWARDS, SOUL WHIRLING SOMEWHERE and BLACK TAPE FOR A BLUE GIRL, Curt and Holly Emmer could join the big PROJEKT-Family and the concept of Sam Rosenthal. Also BLEEDING LIKE MINE seem to be influenced by these three bands above and sounds very emotional, silent and melancholy, too. It?s an atmosphere from deep out of the soul and all so the mood is very melancholy-dark, there are a few light and hopefully moments, which stimulates the audience. Also it?s a fact, that BLEEDING LIKE MINE are a little bit rougher and kantiger as for example BLACK TAPE FOR A BLUE GIRL and so the visionary picture of Curt and Holly, was drawn by dark washed out colours . dark waves meets rough cliffs and an invisible power pulls you down in the depths of the black sea . Musically BLEEDING LIKE MINE presents a big palette of different styles; served on a silver tray with dark and breakable keyboard-levels, and improved with a little bit of monumentality. This monumentality is explained best with themes like “ostentatious”, “emotionalism” or “filigree”. It?s a journey between visionary and reality and every audience will be fascinated by the aura of BLEEDING LIKE MINE. I?ll give this CD 9 of 10 possible points, because it?s absolutely breathtaking beautiful. At least. here are some tips: “Nothing Seems The Same”, “Idaho”, “Like Winter?s Rain Melting Away” or “Will This Ever Touch Me Again”.(Thomas Wacker)
Judas kiss Palace of Worms are getting quite a name for themselves, not only have they release the self titled compilation which just screamsexcellence but they also release Heilige Tod, a tribute album to Death In es in the underground European post industrial scene covering the favourite DIJ tracks
Raro Authors of a charming “darkambient” with experimental outlines, the americans Bleeding Like Mine relase their exordium CD under the label ” Palace of Worms” (a label already known for the relase of the homonymous international dark compilation and for a tribute record to the group Death in June). More than a real group, they are a solistic project by the polinstumental Curt Emmer: an author around whom whirls a group of musicians including the singer Holly. Her ethereal voice enlights the most startling moments from a peculiar affresco of whispering sadness, suspended between dark ambients of ancestral memory and suffered atmospheres of avveniristic decadence.(F.M.Arati/traslated Andrea Meleri)
This CD is beautifully recorded and could quite easily fit into the Projekt records camp so very easily, as they would fix snugly between the likes of Soul Whirling Somewhere and Love Spirituals Down, which gives an indication as to what their sound is like. Ethereal music built up with layers of male and female vocal, dark Keyboards and Raphaelite imagery. (Lee Powell)
