Northern Sadness

Summer 2010. July 3th. Dead Poets’ singer Koen De Brabander & bassplayer Philippe Lefief decide to join forces: out of the ashes of Dead Poets rose Northern Sadness. A new dark electro band, for which they started writing songs that very day. One month later recording begins at Philippe’s Bear Cave Studios. The new songs of the duo are received with much enthusiasm by a close circle of intimate friends & gothic lovers, called ‘The Test Team’. A fan page is made public through Facebook where, once again, a broader public receives the songs with much excitement. On june 15th 2011 Northern Sadness signs a recording contract with German recordlabel ECHOZONE. Octobre 2011 saw the release of their highly acclaimed debut cd Riddles Of Lunacy and the Ep All This Noise. Later that year Emmanuel Schaeverbeke, Joost Lefevere and Jochen Demeulenaere joined Philippe and Koen for the live performances of Northern Sadness. In 2012 Philippe and Koen joined forces with Flint, known from Flintology, and so introduce his unique guitarsound into the NS sound. From this moment on Flint acts as co-producer for the new NS recordings.
