DISTRESS comes from Strasbourg (France) & has been created in February, 1996. The band always aimed at offering a rich, dark and original music, a crossing of METALLICA, "Black Album"'s period but without the commercial aspect, with the spirit and the musicality of more underground bands such as ANATHEMA. Since, this date, the band builds itself a strong directory, combining spontaneity & passion with a determinedly professional method. DISTRESS becomes so a strong entity & an asserted personality. The 12 songs of " Closed to Heaven " reveal a band that composed an acid & melodic violence, unhealthy and conquering. The plaintive musical spirit of these titles reveals lugubrious and stabbing climates. This is all the force and the charm of DISTRESS which reveals deep feeling. DISTRESS amazes by its maturity, notably in the way vocals ares sung. : declaimed in a majestic way or aggressive, depending on the songs. " Closed to Heaven " is so the launchpad of a band that builds its own style in a assured and sincere way, with no trendies consideration
