Beginning with influences of metal, goth, and progressive trance, Pride and Fall came together to combine the distinct and contrasting elements of these genres into something never heard before, spawning a refreshing and innovative surprise for the listener. Hailing from Norway, vocalist Sigve Monsen (along with Per Waagen and Svien Joar Auglaend Johnsen) has been dredging the depths of electronic musicfor fresh ideas since 2000. With the first album, Nephesh, Pride and Fall created a new and innovative sound in the world of Futurepop. They further explored this sound on the follow-up album Elements of Silence. The band's third album, 2007's In My Time Of Dying, was recorded following a year marked by divorce, a friend's suicide, a loss in the family, and more. These experiences shaped the sound and feel of the band. Now, after years dormant, Pride and Fall returns with Of Lust and Desire, an album showing the band's growth while maintaining the styles that were loved by their fans and forged over a tumultuous decade.
