Mark Tansley, who was pioneer of UK alternative music in the 1990’s and was at the forefront of integrating electronic sounds into the goth scene with his cult band SUSPIRIA, is not one to dwell on the past, and the music he has written for RAZORFADE is another giant leap forward! Add to this the pensive lyrics and deep vocal styling of Clifford Ennis and you quickly understand that this band should appeal to fans of dark alternative, goth and electronic music alike. RAZORFADE is actually reinterpreting alternative electronic music for those with a darker side by blending influences from the alternative 1980’s new wave and gothic rock movement with current electro sounds. 

On “This Clear Shining” RAZORFADE write about distorted truths, wasted lives, and unwinnable wars. They translate their huge emotional outpouring into sinister melodic tunes by successfully blending electronic music with dark alternative/goth, the outcome being music which sits perfectly in the middle of both genres and got promisingly described by journalists as the brilliant melodic melange of SISTERS OF MERCY and DEPECHE MODE!
