In a world of ever shifting trends and fashions, where music can be contained in a digital file that can be
deleted and discarded at the touch of a button, where it’s always time to move on to the next thing and the
value of anything and everything is fleeting, it’s a beautiful moment to find an album that stops you in your
tracks. A combination of musicianship, song craft, depth of emotion and attention to detail that holds you
transfixed while the rest of the world continues its unthinking charge into oblivion. An album where the lyrics
invite thought and reflection and the artwork fires the imagination as the music brings it to vibrant life.
Persistence Of Memory is just such an album; an island of colour and beauty in the ever flowing grey tides of
modern life. A place to escape the empty noise and remember that things of depth and worth can still be
found...
Final Coil began their musical life in howls of feedback and chaos, a raging entity that tore up the stages of
endless small clubs as they slowly found their direction. Gradually, that energy and electricity was
channelled into smoother paths as the band looked deeper into themselves and their music, discovering how
much more their individual abilities could create; realising they had so much more to say, that a fleeting
impact wasn’t all they wished to achieve – they wanted to carve musical monuments that would stand the
test of time and stand for something as well.
Those first shoots of creativity have now flowered with the arrival of Final Coil’s full length debut album,
Persistence Of Memory. Dense, rich riffs are driven forward by pulsing rhythms as beautiful vocal harmonies
speak to the heart and the mind of the listener. Fluid guitar leads dance across muscular song structures,
painting the liquid steel of the songs in an explosion of colour and emotion. Metallic strength and power is
transformed through progressive musicianship, but emotive melodies unlock the songs, opening their doors
to all. Deftly mastered by Cult Of Luna’s Magnus Lindberg and cloaked in sumptuous artwork created by
Andy Pilkington (Flotsam And Jetsam), Persistence Of Memory is a perfect shining jewel of an album.
Step out of the tumult. Take the time to remember the true value of artistic endeavour. Leave the rocky
shallows and dive into the unfathomable depths of the still waters of Persistence Of Memory.
