Icon In Me: Lost For Nothing – new video

 

 

Do pay attention: ICON IN ME, first metal band to encompass Russian, Swedish & Danish musicians, has released new video ‘Lost For Nothing’, made for a tune taken from the group's back in July 2011 released album ‘Head Break Solution’ (Goomba Music). ‘Head Break Solution’ was recorded at several studios in Denmark, Sweden and Russia, and was mixed by Ben Schigel and mastered by Maor Appelbaum. The album features a whole array of guest musicians, including ex-MEGADETH's Glen Drover and THE HAUNTED's Anders Björler whose guitar solo you’ll find on the track ‘Un-Slaved’, available in its video form below (as perceived by  direcor Yury “Jerzy” Yaryomin).

“Money versus humans. It is sad to see the never ending profit-before-everything else mentality. It’s cool that the video was filmed months ago and it ties in to the Occupy Wall Street movement,” [offered his insight on the ‘Lost For Nothing’s subject ever observant singer Tony JJ]

This Russian-European project of modern metal with some thrash, death and hardcore style elements, ICON IN ME, had begun to take shape back in 2007 when HOSTILE BREED founder and guitarist Dimitry Frans came up with the idea of forming an international music project. It took him two months to recruit musicians from Russia and Germany who started to records project's first album in 2008 in various recording studios in Europe and Russia, including in Hansen Studios in Denmark under the watchful eye of renowned producer Jacob Hansen, who has handled the mixing of the project's debut as well. Guest musicians that ppeared on ICON IN ME's ‘Human Museum’, included teve Smyth (ex-NEVERMORE, TESTAMENT) and Flemming C. Lund (THE ARCANE ORDER, INVOCATOR). The album was released in 2009 through Massacre Records / Irond Records and was received well by critics and listening public alike. In late 2009, the band recorded a digital EP entitled ‘Moments’ and made it available for free download from their official site.
