Mist Of Dead End saw the light in 2013 in Montpellier in the South of France and is led by drummer/composer Ben Marmier who invited a number of guest musicians. Those who think to hear some summer tunes are wrong, because his apocalyptic rock is a mix of goth rock, metal, industrial, and HP Lovecraft as the main inspiration.

Never Explain Anything is a 6-track EP which introduces six times a different picture of the band. Opener The Depths begins with a sort of spoken word, and later becomes a dark and minimal rock song in which the drums and the deep bass lines set the tone.

In Summerfrost, the emphasis is more on the melodic gothic guitar and the dark vocals by Arnaud Sintes. Dr. Schreber barely lasts 50 second, but it’s creepy. You hear the noise of a heart monitoring machine that defines the horror atmosphere of this EP. Artefact is again more doom and goth rock, and ends with the goth metal tinged Tcafetra.

A very diverse EP with all sorts of styles that are always flirting with some dark, or as they describe it themselves, the more apocalyptic end of the world. These preachers of the apocalypse are certainly willing to spread their message, with Never Explain Anything as a useful tool.

Mist Of Dead End zag het daglicht in 2013 in het Zuid-Franse Montpellier en wordt geleid door drummer componist Ben Marmier, die zich laat omringen door een aantal gastmuzikanten. Wie aan zomerse muziek denkt is eraan voor de moeite, want met een mengeling van gothrock, metal, een beetje industrial en elektro maakt het gezelschap een soort apocalyptische rock met HP Lovecraft als grote inspiratiebron.

Never Explain Anything is een eerste zes tracks tellende ep die evenveel keer een ander beeld van de band geeft. Openingstrack The Depths begint met een soort spoken word en wordt nadien een donkere rocksong met een heel minimale muzikale omlijsting waarin drums en diepe baslijnen de sfeer bepalen. In Summerfrost daarentegen ligt de klemtoon meer op de meer melodieuze gotische gitaarlijn en de donkere vocals van Arnaud Sintes.

Het amper 50 seconden durende maar creepy Dr. Schreber, heeft behalve het gepiep van een hartbewakingsmachine, muzikaal niet veel om het lijf,maar bepaalt wel de wat morbidere horrorsfeer van deze ep. Met Artefact wordt het roer nog maar eens omgegooid naar wat je meer onder doom en gothrock zou kunnen plaatsen, om te eindigen met het gothmetal getinte Tcafetra.

Een heel diverse ep met allerhande stijlen die wel steeds flirten met de wat duistere, of zoals ze zelf omschrijven, de meer apocalyptische kant van de wereld. Deze predikers van de apocalyps zijn alvast bereid hun boodschap vol overgave te verspreiden en daarbij is deze Never Explain Anything een handig hulpmiddel.

IAMX feels quite delicate to me. It needs understanding and effort to really see the bigger picture. The live show can do that, it can convince people, but from my internal feeling, it can be uncomfortable.

I am often a little frustrated by the complexity of my music, which in turn motivates me to keep composing, hoping that one day I will write a simple song.
