ALL ENDS Featuring IN FLAMES Guitarist's Sister: Debut EP Due In May

April 6, 2007

ALL ENDS, the new Swedish band featuring Emma Gelotte (sister of IN FLAMES guitarist Björn Gelotte) and Tinna Karlsdotter on vocals, Fredrik Johansson (DIMENSION ZERO, IN FLAMES' "The Jester Race" album) and Peter Mårdklint (EMBRACED, TENEBRE) on guitar, along with Josef Skanås on drums, will release its debut EP, "Wasting Life", on May 11 through G.U.N. Records. The CD was produced by Christian Wolff (WITHIN TEMPTATION, RAGE, LINGUA MORTIS) and the Resetti Brothers (IN EXTREMO, EXILIA). Check out audio samples at www.allends.com. Two video clips from the EP's recording sessions in Germany have been posted online: Clip#1, Clip#2 (Real Media).

According to the band's official bio, "ALL ENDS, founded in 2003 in Gothenburg, Sweden, feature a sound housing somewhere between rock and metal that lives first and foremost through the fascinating voices of the two front-ladies, Tinna Karlsdotter and Emma Gelotte. It is this two-pronged female approach that distinguishes these Swedes from the rest of the crowd and gives them their own unique sound. The debut EP 'Wasting Life' doesn’t sound like NIGHTWISH or WITHIN TEMPTATION or EVANESCENCE…on the contrary, it sounds like nothing other than ALL ENDS!

"And if the name 'Gelotte' sounds familiar, then it should, because IN FLAMES guitarist Björn Gelotte is the brother of singer Emma. Björn and his bandmate Jesper Strömblad are highly creative songwriters with a huge musical spectrum, and the inspiration for ALL ENDS. Jesper and Björn's role with ALL ENDS is solely a creative involvement behind the scenes.

"The fact that ALL ENDS is made up of five top musicians of their genre is evident in the magnificent 'Alone', which skillfully treads the line between metallic wrecking ball and pop anthem. And the title track, 'Wasting Life', is also equally characterized by the simultaneously powerfully and melodic guitar work that is simply irresistible in combination with the sleek grooves and whale-sized hooks."

ALL ENDS will take part in the Eartshaker Roadshock Tour beginning late April. Also scheduled to appear on the bill are FINNTROLL, AFTER FOREVER, TAROT, DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER and MACHINE MEN.
