KIDOFDOOM "My Faith In War"

  • Mon, 14th Sep, 2009

 In OCTOBER 2009 the band is releasing their 2nd album ‘My Faith in War’, a concept album which is a 60minute long soundscape of the bands’ interpretation of the Apocalypse and the hope of life thereafter, recorded at B# Studios and produced by Kidofdoom and PH van Pletzen from Yesterday’s Pupil. ‘My Faith in War’ features guest artists Mathieu Auriacombe and Yesterday’s Pupil as well as Kidofdooms’ two off stage band members, Peter Rodda (Lighting Designer) and Ben Rausch (visuals) who can be seen in the album art. This album is testimony to Kidofdoom’s maturation as a band with much higher levels of production and complex compositions with a distinct move towards electronic music production intertwined with traditional post rock elements. Surging string arrangements, dramatized melodic synth structures with Kidofdoom’s fundamental rhythm section sound that provides the ‘dance’ element to their music. This album is not just a collection of songs carefully pieced together, it is a story with a beginning, middle and an end and must be listened to in its entirety to truly grasp its full effect.

Bundi Productions will be sponsoring a portion of the lighting and sound for the shows to accommodate the bands legacy of having one of the most creative and carefully designed lighting set ups seen locally (all hail Pink Floyd!). The lighting team will be headed up by Peter Rodda who is widely recognized for his skills in this area. MK Bruce Lee will be giving away copies of the latest issue of their magazine and t-shirts, Feiyue have come on board as a footwear sponsor to Kidofdoom and will be giving away a pair of their designer sneakers at every show, Music Connection will also be providing some of their product to give away at the shows.
