A new worship of melancholy and electricity is on the verge. After YONL singer’s disintegration, a new line-up (featuring members from Monarch! and Aeroflot) raised in order to expand the band’s praxis into wilder spaces and landscapes. 2007†: YONL pledges allegiance to Crucial Blast and “Nord” hits Decibel Magazine’s top 40 extreme albums.Ģ009. 2006†: the material ends up as a 2LP on E-vinyl & Atropine and as a cd on Radar Swarm. Sounding like “Loveless with slumber party massacre passages”, “Nord” takes form in Geneva under the direction of Serge Morratel. YONL’s servants decided to subsequently overshadow their neuroses with shades of noise rock, hardcore punk and ambient drones tones coupled with tormented black metal vocals.
It’s rather critical acclaim, quoting YONL as being “The Cure playing sludge”, combined with live review becoming more and more encouraging, compelled the band into the writing of new tracks. As the line-up was getting solid, the 5 members tried to clarify their intentions and started to build the basis of what would be their first demo, recorded in 2004. The psychedelics just kicked in and YONL began to breath.
