FloveR is an unsigned band with members from Russia and Italy.
According to their website, the band members have never actually met in person
which is a little strange to me, but then again, if you live somewhere as
remote as Tyumen in Siberia, finding likeminded musicians locally must be
almost impossible. So credit to them, they've found each other on the internet
and have made an album together.
The members of FloveR make no secret of the fact that
they're all massive HIM fans, and
their songs sound so much like HIM,
they could be mistaken for a tribute band. Even lead singer Fabio Phobos Storm is doing a great job at singing as closely to the
style of Ville Valo as is humanly
possible. This is nothing short of total hero worship.
Having said that, they're actually
pretty good. Their songs are well constructed and they have some catchy singles
including Violet Roses and Charms of the Reaper. They're
definitely a talented bunch, and if they develop their own sound and identity a
little more, I could see them being picked up by a label and becoming major
players on the Gothic Rock scene.
Their album is available to
stream and buy on their Bandcamp page, so give it a listen.
