The dutch progressive rock / melodic metal band FeedForward
The Dutch band FeedForward has been around for 5 years now, and found its own unique style.
This style can best be defined as a mix between progressive rock and melodic metal. However, no classical voice parts, no bombastic choirs. Instead, recognizable vocals and subdued harmonies.
Instrumentally, the melodic base is broadened by influences from progressive metal and symphonic rock.
In spite of the high level of musicianship and sometimes complex song arrangements, the songs are accessible for a large audience. Key roll in this is female vocalist Bianca. With her clear voice she speaks to the attention of a lot of people, also those which are not familiar with the genre.
Having released 3 demo's, FeedForward has managed to build up a considerable fanbase in the south of the Netherlands. This shows by the concerts, with the number of visitors steadily increasing every time. FeedForward played many gigs in the past years, with especially worth mentioning gigs in large venues like 013, the Effenaar, the Bosuil (support for Enchant), Todo (support for the gathering), the Dynamo and at festivals like Paaspop Den Hout, Kempenerpop, All American Day and Cult & Tumult.
In 2007, FeedForward released a full length CD containing 10 songs, titled "Barefoot & Naked". This CD shows the many sides of FeedFoward's music. "Barefoot & Naked" contains catchy rock songs, progressive pieces, pounding metal, but also epic songs and even a piano ballad. "Barefoot & Naked" got great reviews and media attention from all over the world. This lead to FeedForward signing a deal with rusty cage records in March 2008.
The on-stage performance full of energy and intensity accentuates the power of the songs.
The authenticity makes them credible..............A band appreciated for their music!
