Cries - dying of the twentieth century A.D.

there is not a beginning and there is not an end

as these feelings, this blood, these tears and these strains shall trickle forever, they already breathed centuries ago, in others' eyes and in others' hearts, in other landscapes and in kisses lost..

many died, like Romeo and Werther, still nowadays they die, and many shall die as long as the moon glitters in the sky..

our names writhed and whispered, carved upon trees, spoken by many lips or forgotten as life expires, but this makes no worth.. time is nothing..

what is worth existing is to live the depth of each beautiful moment, each second... this moment won't return, nevermore.. and the past is past forever.. the deepest moment is worth a life.. all the rest is death..












Why this name?
Cries... this word in all its meanings.. also as a verb.. and further there is an assonance with christ..

this word entirely, simple, pure and concrete..
Do you play live?
yes, we play live.
in any place and in any time..
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
yes
Band History:
Cries was born one first time in may 2001, when elsket and dunkelheit began to play together. but after just one live show dunkelheit decided to stop playing and elsket remained alone, bearing on his own songs and seeking new players. Only in december 2002 he finds Roberto, a bassist, whom he starts to rehearsal with, and afterwards he tries some drummers, without finding a proper one. Thus elsket continues to develop his own music with the support of Roberto, and it’s only in may 2004 that the true Cries band takes form, after finding again dunkelheit, this time willing to play and to do. In the same period comes the addition of Fabrizio, keyboarder, and this perfect formation had its first live show on the 1 of october, 2004. For hte year 2005 were programmed at least 40 live shows, but, unfortunately, on the end of february Fabrizio had to stop playing, and the same destiny has come to Roberto, in april. Failed all the efforts of quick replacing, Cries thus decided to concentrate on two recordings to be done on the endng of the year: one, self-produced, acoustic of 5 tracks, only voice, guitar and violin (played by Stefano, acousticly supporting Cries since february), which is being recorded in this November, and maybe containing the video of “where are you ?â€쳌. The title of this little opus shall be “qvidqve amavisti cras amabisâ€쳌 (which stands for “what/who you loved, tomorrow you will loveâ€쳌; and then our first EP, if someone produce us, to be recorded in deep winter, entitled “the beauty of the deathâ€쳌, made of 6 tracks.
In the meanwhile Cries has found some new bassists and keyboarders, whom with we hope to be back soon on the stage. and since this october, we have started to work with Alkemist Fanatix, a management and promotion agency.
