====== Veer Chasm ======

Industrial\\
California, USA

"Veer Chasm...what's in the name? Many were asking the same thing when the band first released a self titled EP in early 1996. Since then they have created a sound often described as electronic, gothic, and modern rock; terms often not fit to co-exist, but worthy descriptions none the less. The new full length 2003 album, //Suffer Cruel Children//, hopes to reach even more people starved for something different. If 1997's //Blade Halo// LP was a rock album buried under a blast of noise, and 2001's //The Depth of You// was a nod to the band's shoegazer/gothic roots, then //Suffer Cruel Children// is a sonic departure characterized by a glam/noise/emo rock sound. The band infused their live energy on this record. Make no mistake: all of Veer Chasm's gothic and industrial dynamics can be found within, along with further explorations into Beatles-type pop. Twelve intensely beautiful songs that will not let go even after you've turned off the CD."
