Liv Kristine - Have Courage Dear Heart (EP) (2021)











Year : 2021
Style : Dark Rock , Melodic Metal
Country : Norway
Audio : 320 kbps + front
Size : 56 mb

Bio:

Liv Kristine Espenæs Krull (born 14 February 1976 in Stavanger, Norway), better known as Liv Kristine, is a singer/songwriter who performed and composed songs mostly for various sub-genres of heavy metal music. She currently works in close association with her husband and leader of the German band Atrocity, Alexander Krull. She started her career in the music business as vocalist for the gothic metal band Theatre of Tragedy and is the current vocalist for the symphonic metal band Leaves' Eyes.

Album:

Liv Kristine: "In my new compilation EP, I bring together nine tracks, thereof four new compositions and five of my favourite live songs. The title track "Have Courage Dear Heart", originally existed as a mandolin tune, which my composer Tommy had sent me "just for fun" early summer 2019. After I had recorded my vocals the song just started growing and shining. We really wanted to keep this underlying Morricone vibe and somehow the perfect sound just manifested like in an imaginary widescreen Western movie setting. The track "Skylight", which was released as a strongly limited single in December 2019, got its own cathedral version. Moreover, we thought it was time to wipe off the dust from an old, brilliant demo "Serenity", which expresses this cool "kick-ass-Saturday-morning" drive vibe. All compositions deal with deeply personal issues such as the beauty of nature, the universe and its laws, twin-soul connection, self-love, narcissism, healing and finding a voice. The live tracks were chosen arbitrarily. It is the first time I am releasing live recordings. They were played at my 8th annual special show in Nagold (Germany) in 2019. "Siren" (Theatre of Tragedy, Aégis, 1998) seems to be one of my audience's long-time favourites, as well as "Panic", unmasking the abuser, the traditional "Ave Maria" (special request from my audience) and my new compositions "Skylight" and "Gravity". Tommy, Andy and Eroc did a brilliant job in their studios, as well as my band, the audience and Chris behind the mixing desk at Alte Seminarturnhalle Nagold (Germany) on December 20th 2019. Thank you, Michael, Allegro Talent Media for encouraging me to release this EP "on our own". I know that my fans have become accustomed to waiting patiently between my albums. This is, after all, half-way to the album. I needed to devote myself to family life, finding my own voice, trust, freedom, seeing the whole, the balancing powers and the given abundance of the universe. I had to learn to open up my heart and release fears. I did, and I found unconditional love. The cover artwork conveys that frequency of having found my passionate authentic voice, that divine truth and source in my heart."

Liv Kristine - Enter My Religion (2006) (2CD) (Allegro Talent Media Edition 2022)

Bio:

Liv Kristine Espenæs Krull (born 14 February 1976 in Stavanger, Norway), better known as Liv Kristine, is a singer/songwriter who performed and composed songs mostly for various sub-genres of heavy metal music. She currently works in close association with her husband and leader of the German band Atrocity, Alexander Krull.

Album:

Norwegian magic with style and enchanting voice! In 2021 LIV KRISTINE's EP "Have Courage Dear Heart" was released and now we present the re-release "Enter My Religion" of the charismatic and nature-loving Norwegian. The album will be released for the first time as a vinyl with an extra single, as a cassette with two bonus tracks and as a double CD with unreleased tracks and demo recordings. The album was remastered at ANDY CLASSEN's Stage One Studio. Not only the sound has been refined; also the cover and the photos, which were taken during a special photo session in the studio of KAI R JOACHIM from that time. The photo material shows a special depth and authenticity of the experienced artist, moreover, she hows herself in a very personal light - sometimes delicate and up close, or completely different - as a woman - absolutely self-confident in the whole large cosmos. The songs were also adorned with universal influences. Sitar sounds introduce the title track, which comfortably gets under your skin with its insinuating melody arcs and LIV KRISTINE's delicate voice. The opener "Over the Moon" (PETER TÄGTGREN) hints at powerful metal, but then develops into a driving pop song. "Fake a Smile" is an airy ballad, with LIV KRISTINE's voice charmingly taking center stage and setting the tone for most of the songs on the album. The title track "Enter my Religion" is a mid-tempo anthem with a wise appeal to your inner self, your selfesteem, happiness and creativity. The pace continues with "All the Time in the World". Straighter and more guitar-driven is "My Revelation“. Pleasing harmonies are in the foreground in the warm and soothing composition "Coming Home". 'Streets of Philadelphia' - BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN's theme song to the Oscar-winning movie was interpreted as a tribute. The arrangements being technically based on the original, LIV KRISTINE adds new and softer accents to the track. "You Take Me Higher" is extraordinarily different and more dance-oriented, with a subtle drum'n'bass overlay. With "Trapped in Your Labyrinth" and "Fake a Smile" LIV KRISTINE spoils her listeners with profoundly sensual ballads and rock songs. The fairylike singing, accentuated by piano sounds, envelops music lovers in a web of security, melancholy and longing. "Enter My Religion" convinces as a spicy and varied album. The blond Norwegian succeeds in creating a fine album with romantic touches, which never slips into kitsch. Simply authentic, profoundly philosophical, surprising and absolutely LIV KRISTINE - luminous and enlightening.

Liv Kristine - River Of Diamonds (2023)











Year : 2023
Style : Dark Rock , Melodic Metal
Country : Norway
Audio : 320 kbps + front
Size : 135 mb

Bio:

Liv Kristine Espenæs Krull (born 14 February 1976 in Stavanger, Norway), better known as Liv Kristine, is a singer/songwriter who performed and composed songs mostly for various sub-genres of heavy metal music. She currently works in close association with her husband and leader of the German band Atrocity, Alexander Krull. She started her career in the music business as vocalist for the gothic metal band Theatre of Tragedy and is the current vocalist for the symphonic metal band Leaves' Eyes.

Album:

“River Of Diamonds“, the sixth solo album by the queen of Scandinavian Pop-Rock Gothic Metal LIV KRISTINE, continues on the path set by the EP “Have Courage Dear Heart” (2021), which received great international acclaim. All tracks on the new album were composed by Liv’s long-time friend Tommy Olsson (Theatre of Tragedy, Long Night) at his Black Rider Records studio in Tau, near LIV Kristine’s birthplace of Stavanger in Norway.Carefully spending time with the compositions that kept coming out of Tommy’s studio in 2021 and 2022 felt just right, like a yin-yang experience: music & pre-mix (Tommy O.), own lyrics and melodies, the finishing touches (mix & master by Eroc) and visuals (photos by M. Rohbach) merged into exactly the album LIV Kristine had passionately longed for.”Our Immortal Day” is a duet with the incomparable singer Østen Bergøy (Long Night, Tristania). “I just love that Sisters of Mercy feeling” (Liv about the song).Among the very strong own compositions, there’s unique covers of Jon Lord’s masterpiece “Pictured Within”, and Cindy Lauper’s hit ’80s “True Colours” (written by Steinberg / Kelly = i-Ten).Fernando (Moonspell) lifted the title track “River of Diamonds” to a new, magical level. LIV Kristine’s sister Carmen Elise Espenæs (Savn, Midnattsol) appears as an exceptional duet partner on the faster track “Love Me High”. In addition, Liv’s husband, Michael Espenæs is the voice behind the highly emotional male vocals on Jon Lord’s masterpiece “Pictured Within”.Another cover, “True Colours” (Cindy Lauper), was beautifully re-recorded by Ecor (Rocco Cogliati) with keyboards and piano. Each song follows a path of strong authenticity and unbound creativity, which is my innermost and first criterion since “Theatre Of Tragedy” (1995), “Deus Ex Machina” (1998) and “Lovelorn” (Leaves’ Eyes). The lifeline that flows through all twelve compositions unveils a heart-based personal path, a sense of deeper truth and a soul vision of pure bliss consciousness – an eternal river of diamonds.
