Klogr (pronounced Kay – log – are) is a newly formed project which sits on the thin line between alternative rock and alternative metal. The band’s name is a reference to the law of Weber-Fechner, developed in the second half of the 800, which is known as the fundamental psychophysical relationship (S = K log R).
The project, led by Gabriele “Rusty” Rustichelli (producer at ZetaFactory, former guitarist of SensAzionE and other Italian alternative projects), develops a powerful sound that draws energy from a philosophy that challenges the contemporary culture, where every sense is clevery used against men in the name of profit.
Along with Rusty (vocals and guitars), the other members of the Italian/American line-up include: Nicola Briganti (guitars and a member of Lena’s Baedream), Todd Allen (bass and a member of Beside Myself) and Filippo De Pietri (drums). All together, they complete the Klogr circle. The idea took shape in May 2010 and in June of 2011 the group began recording for their debut album at the ZetaFactory studio.
From that point on, Klogr captured the attention of the public and aroused much curiousity among professionals and fans by publishing several viral videos, showing the progress of the band in the studio.
11-11-11 brought the world premier of the band’s live show. The powerful attack of the eleven songs on the tracklist of Till you decay was greatly enjoyed and recieved well by the enthusiastic fans.
Till You Decay is an alternative rock/metal album, in which both the instrumental and the vocal lines are delivered very heavily at times and more melodic at other times, creating the sound of Klogr. The whole record is based on the concept that “the society around us controls us, judges us, conditions us and ultimately suffocates us. A psychological game of massacre, control and power over the masses, in which they use fear and anxieties to unstabalize a person into something more fragile, more controllable and more subservient… till you decay.
After the ten video presentations of the band’s sound, the first full-track to run on it’s network was ‘Live Dying’, the opening track of the album. ‘Bleeding’ the first chosen single, due out in January, it will be accompanied along with a video that combines graphics and cinematography in line with the mood of the band.
Till You Decay is scheduled to be released worldwide in January 2012 and will be supported by a U.S. West Coast tour and several European dates.
