New Music Monday....

Music is a big part of the automotive experience because pretty much every car since the 60's has had a radio as standard equipment. So, on Mondays, here on the SlippedGear blog, we will be introducing lesser known musicians with links to their websites, and/or where you can sample/purchase their music.

The first band we will be discussing is a person favorite of mine from Germany, Krypteria www.Krypteria.de.

JI-IN CHO- vocals/piano
CHRIS SIEMONS - guitars
FRANK STUMVOLL - bass guitar
S.C. KUSCHNERUS - drums



Lead singer, Ji-In Cho, and the other band members all speak German in most of the interviews I have seen. Most of their songs are in English, but some have a bit of the dead language Latin tossed into the mix. Ji-In Cho switches back and forth from English to Latin with amazing fluidity. Their songs are very upbeat, even the very aggressively worded "Sweet Revenge." Many of the songs have what they call, "trademark Gregorian chants." I am not sure about the "trademark" part, but the choir definitely adds a unique sound to their music.

Krypteria just released a new music collection entitled "My Fatal Kiss" (yes, Ji-In Cho is about to kiss herself on the album cover) which even though it has not been released here in the US yet (Nov. 17, 2009), can be sampled on their website at www.Krypteria.de. Some of their previous releases are available in their Amazon MP3 store here: Krypteria MP3's available for purchase.
If your still oldskool, and use CD's, do a search over at amazon.com or click here.

Working on getting a parody of the Top Gear theme song "Jessica" by the Allman Brothers. We want it to be close, but not quite enough to get sued ;)
