Sweden's KOREA To Release Debut

November 5, 2008

Swedish rock sensation KOREA will release its debut album, "For The Present Purpose", on November 28 in Sweden and January 19, 2009 in the rest of the world via ViciSolum Productions. A video for the single "GPHH38" is currently in the works.

KOREA was formed in Stockholm 2003 and produced a self-titled EP with the American producer Blake Althen. The band's sound can best be described as "a journey in different music styles with a Swedish melancholic spine," according to a press release. "In essence, a beautiful array of harmonies and melodies, combined with a heavy rhythmic section. Influences can be traced to acts like A PERFECT CIRCLE, TOOL, NINE INCH NAILS and RADIOHEAD."

A preview track, "Growing Apathy", is available for streaming at this location.
