Leave's Eyes
Leave's Eyes' Lovelorn, featuring former Theatre of Tragedy vocalist Liv Kristine as well as the current Atrocity line-up, captivates with wonderful harmonies, an epic atmosphere, and varied arrangements that embark the listener on a journey through the soundscapes of rock. The band's first single, "Into Your Light," already unites bombastic symphonies with hard rock, as the playful piano accompaniment forges an expressive bond with Liv Kristine's vocals.
The idea to form Leave's Eyes came to Liv during a stroll in the forest with spouse and Atrocity frontman Alexander Krull, who also produced the band's debut and whose vocal duels with Liv are to be heard on Lovelorn. At about the same time, Atrocity bassist Chris Lukhaup had begun to develop song ideas that perfectly matched Liv's concept. "Soon all the members of Atrocity were smitten with the idea and joined in the writing process. That is how the band and album came to be."
During the recording sessions, Liv dealt with not only the challenges of laying down the vocal tracks, but also with her pregnancy and the birth of son Leon Alexander on 18 December 2003. The new mother, who plans to continue working on her solo career (her solo debut Deus Ex Machina was released in 1999), only had positive comments about her experience: "I was extremely creative during my pregnancy, and somehow I had the feeling that my voice became stronger. About two hours after the last of the vocal tracks were laid, we rushed to the hospital. Shortly thereafter, Leon Alexander was born. I truly felt that we'd recorded the album together! I've never been so happy and content with my life as I am now, and I hope that it can be heard by our fans when they listen to the album."
