Widescreen Mode – Until the end

Release date: 14-11-2007, Label: Playground

  It took a while until Widescreen Mode from Riihimäki/Finland released their
  album “Until the End”, but now it is released, finally!

  In 2005, the band finally made steady progress with a pair of four-song demos.
  The demos earned great reviews. Widescreen Mode played important festivals,
  supporting bands like Paradise Lost, The Cardigans, Anathema, and Die Krupps.
  In 2006, Widescreen Mode made it to the final round of MTV Nordic’s unsigned
  competition out of 1,700 bands. Interestingly, thanks to the internet, Widescreen
  Mode has even more fans outside of Finland. The band has amassed a community
  of more than 65,000 fans worldwide on MySpace. “It’s great to see how well
  our music has received around the world”, says Janne Aaltonen (drums).
  The music has been well received at home, too. Widescreen Mode’s first single
  “Everlasting Bomb” reached #1 on the official Finnish download charts
  this summer, and has received airplay on the national rock radio stations such
  as Radio Rock and YleX.

  With these 12 songs Widescreen Mode have released a great rock/metal album.
  Their music is somehow melancholic and melodic and yet harsh and metal-like,
  some songs are even quite aggressive while others are slow. A great mix and
  balance between hard and soft can be found on the album. I knew “Everlasting
  Bomb”, “Not Alright”, “She’s Lying” and “We
  Don’t Need Your War” from the demos before. In my opinion all are
  songs easy to sing along and perfect to get stuck in your head very easily.
  The song “And We Both Know” is a very slow song accompanied by piano.
  Really nice.
  Somehow Widescreen Mode’s music reminds me of Suburban Tribe.
  You should really take a minute and take a look at their album cover and think
  about it.
  Great music, great band, until the end!
