About this user

Australian band IKON has been creating its unique brand of wave music for eighteen years. Chris McCarter (vocals, guitar, programming) and Dino Molinaro (bass) began to write songs as high school students in 1988. In 1991, their original name Death in the Dark was replaced by IKON, and the bands original singer was Michael Carrodus, who departed in 1997 after two albums. The duo was joined by guitarist Anthony Cornish in 2006 to complete the bands current line-up.

Love, Hate and Sorrow, IKONs sixth studio album, will be released on September 11, and was three years in the making. While retaining the essence of influences such as Joy Division, early New Order and Death in June, IKON has added further textures to the bands style to produce its most accomplished full-length release. Love, Hate and Sorrow embraces melodic song structures without forgetting IKONs origins and the music that inspired the band to release its first album fifteen years ago. The response to the first two singles foreshadows its likely appeal to fans of old- and new-school wave music: Black Magazin named the first single A Line on a Dark Day the second-best track of 2008 and music journalist Mick Mercer commented that these pioneers in the Gothic genre have produced a pure dreamy wave cut in the form of Amongst the Runes.

The band will embark on its seventh European tour in September 2009 on the back of the release of its most-anticipated album to-date. Love, Hate and Sorrow sees IKON return to their first European label, Apollyon (with whom they first signed with 1994), and also marks their signing to Vendetta Music in the United States, and continues a relationship with Shadowplay Records in Russia. The band will also release its first music video clip for A Line on a Dark Day. The next single from the album will be Torn Apart, a slower track which, in its touching simplicity and raw emotion, marks a departure from the powerful guitar-based club tracks for which IKON is renowned.

IKON has a prolific history of recordings (five EPs and seventeen singles in addition to albums) and plans to re-issue its first two albums, In the Shadow of the Angel and Flowers for the Gathering, in 2010, in remastered and expanded format. This will make these pioneering releases available to fans who have just discovered the band and will reward those old enough to have bought the originals with a generous selection of bonus material from the bands archives.

On the strength of a repertoire of old and new hits, IKON has frequently toured Australia, Europe and the UK. IKON has played on the same bill as The Sisters of Mercy, H.I.M., Soft Cell, Death in June, London After Midnight and The Mission. IKON has performed at the Eurorock Festival in Belgium, the Mera Luna Festival in Hildesheim, Germany before an audience of more than 15,000 people and has also appeared twice at the worlds largest goth festival, Wave Gotik Treffen in Leipzig, Germany.

IKON has been called the AC/DC of goth for its long-term success creating and performing music that rocks internationally from all the way Down Under. In 2009, IKON returns to Europe, and promises to deliver fans its best album and tour yet.
