There Are So Many Stories

And here comes the third and last part of this week's Promising Newcomers series - Lillith from the far north of Norway with their Alternative Rock made my day when I listened to their music the first time. Check them out and find out yourself... 50K MUSIC: Who are you, where do you come from, ...? Please tell us something about Lillith. Lillith: Lillith consists of Camilla Hell on vocal, piano and musical-saw, Mr. Frantzen on guitar, Gregorius Grim Knockelkatt on cello and bass and Espen Engrønningen on percussion. Lilliths music is like entering a haunted wonderland. We like to invite the audience to a fever dream dance that can be described as black clad cabaret/rock, inspired from the 70s colorful scenes. We live in a small costal-town called Aasgaardstrand in Norway. And once upon time the well known painter Edvard Munch used to live here, and he left some inspiration behind when he died. We get a lot of inspiration from the artistic life in the summertime in Aasgaardstrand and the arctic climate in the winter when the little town is deserted and the mighty sea wash the waves ashore. Lillith debuted in 2010 with the album “Once I Was Alive”, which has collected great reviews both abroad and back home. For the moment we add the finishing touch to the material for our sequel. 50K MUSIC: How did you discover SellaBand? What are your expectations here? Lillith: We were given tips by a person who had visited the page before. In the beginning, when we decided to record our first album, Mr. Frantzen sold his apartment and Gregorius Grim sold his car to finance it all. This time we are in need of raising some money to finance the recording and release. To be quite honest we have no expectations at SellaBand, since this is the first time we do this. But, sites like this bring hope to musicians. Since the internet is the main distributor of music these days, musicians are more depending on the music-lovers than ever. Fans can more and more take part in the decision making which the big labels used to do, and help contribute to the projects which they believe in and the music they want to listen to. 50K MUSIC: How are you going to convince people to believe (and invest) in you? Lillith: We have great faith in our next album! And we have worked hard to create new material, played many concerts and grown a lot as a band since the debut album. We are ready to bring our audience even further into our haunted wonderland, there are so many stories, so many songs to be played and we have only just begun! 50K MUSIC: You've just started your project on SellaBand. Have you thought about the time after reaching the goal of 5k yet? What are your plans then? Lillith: Our main goal is to make a hell of an album, to show everybody that have believed in us and invested in us our infinite gratitude. Then we hope to play a lot of gigs, which brings us even closer to the people. 50K MUSIC: And last question: How can we support you to speed up raising your budget? Lillith: Spread the word and let the jungle drums call upon those who want to be a part of the concept. We won’t disappoint you! Lillith: Portrait in Rust
