TERRAEX is the name of a new band coming from Norway, strongly led by Carlos SANCHEZ (Bass, guitar, keyboards, programming...). Our latin viking is helped here by Maria TORESEN (Vocals, piano & violin), Gunvar WIE (Drums) and Andrea UMMARINO (Guitar). This is quite unusual for a first album, but "Somnia" (Musea Parall?le, 2009) already has its own musical identity. You may think of SIGUR ROS, GOLDFRAPP, RADIOHEAD or TORI AMOS, for compositions as diverse as they are pleasant to listen to. The opus mixes grungy, raucousand aggressive electric guitars with airy female vocals, acoustic and melodious sequences with heavy ones. It even mixes reggae and rock on one track ! These eleven songs include many Alternative/Progressive Rock elements into their energic sound, Mellotron and analog synths layers for instance. And, more than everything else, it's powerful rock, with an organic and spontaneous feel, and beautiful vocals.
