| | This Ending Inside The Machine CD This Ending Discography of CDs
Although This Ending's 2007 release, Inside the Machine, is their debut full-length, three of the group's five members have metal roots that stretch back to the early '90s, as they could be found growling, riffing, and bashing away in a group called A Canorous Quintet. Despite the name change and lineup juggle, Inside the Machine proves that the trio's new outfit is indeed a still-proud flyer of the extreme metal flag. Dark and brutal-sounding throughout, the album kicks off with one of the more interesting riffs to emerge from extreme metal in some time, "Seed of Destruction," before leading to further rapid fire metallic mayhem -- "Pitch Black," "Armageddon," and especially "This Ending." ~ Greg Prato
This Ending: Marten Hansen (vocals); Linus Nirbrant, Leo Pignon (guitars); Jesper Lofgren (bass guitar); Fredrik Andersson (drums).

BLOODFLOWERS was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album.
With BLOODFLOWERS, Robert Smith and the boys give sway to the most shoegazery elements of their eternally languid arsenal to often stunning effect. Evoking memories of similar classics such as PORNOGRAPHY and DISINTEGRATION, the Cure's first effort of the 21st century simmers with serene seamless disorder as Smith lays his usual mixture of lyrical sorrow and delight upon a bed of ambient landscapes. While the terrain is somewhat familiar, the echoing guitars; the lush, alluring keyboards; and the sensually pleading vocals that so unmistakably characterize any Cure album are welcome friends.
The air of tranquillity that permeates BLOODFLOWERS is set from the first minutes of the album as "Out of This World" breezes in with a gentle two-minute intro before Robert Smith drops by to ask "will we really remember how it feels to be this alive?" The group proceeds to drift through a quietly enthralling set of nine songs. Smith and company do pick up the pace momentarily on the beautifully buoyant plea of "Maybe Someday," but even that is an ode to reflection. BLOODFLOWERS is a welcome return to the Cure's ongoing meditation on discontent.
The Cure edged into new territory with Wild Mood Swings, but nevertheless drew scorn from certain quarters because it eschewed goth rock for pop, both pure and twisted. For 2000's Bloodflowers, Robert Smith decided to give the people what they wanted: a classic Cure album, billed as the third part of a trilogy begun with Pornography and continued with Disintegration. That turns out to be more or less true, since Bloodflowers boasts all of the Cure's signatures: stately tempos, languid melodies, spacious arrangements, cavernous echoes, morose lyrics, keening vocals, long running times. If that's all you're looking for, Bloodflowers delivers in spades. If you want something transcendent, you're out of luck, since the album falls short of the mark, largely because it sounds too self-conscious. As one song segues into the next, it feels like Smith is striving to make a classic Cure record, putting all the sounds in place before he constructs the actual songs. That makes for a good listening experience, especially for fans of Disintegration, but it never catches hold the way that record did, for two simple reasons: there isn't enough variation between the songs for them to distinguish themselves, nor are there are enough sonic details to give individual tracks character. While Disintegration had goth monoliths, it also had pristine pop gems and elegant neo-psychedelia; with a couple of exceptions, the songs on Bloodflowers all feel like cousins of "Pictures of You." The album is certainly well made, and even enjoyable; however, its achievement is a bit hollow, since it never seems like Smith is pushing himself or the band. Nobody else can come close to capturing the Cure's graceful gloom, but it's hard to shake the suspicion that Bloodflowers could have been something grand if he had shaken up the formula slightly.

The ministry of song was birthed in Vincent at the very young age of 4, when he first sang “I’ll Go to the Rock.” Vincent sang in choirs for as far back as he can remember. Although Vincent was born attending church, he really became committed to the Lord at the age of 13 and that was when he was filled with the Holy Ghost. He began composing his own music at the age of 14, and continues to write songs to penetrate the soul of God’s people. Vincent ...
