Album: A ROAD TO DEPRESSION LTD. EDIT. (DIGI)

Year: 2010
Media type: CD

Founded back in 2003 as a side project of IN FLAMES guitarists Bjorn Gelotte and Jesper Stromblad featuring Bjorns sister Emma, ALL ENDS soon turned into much more than just a project. After both had quit their duty as active / touring musicians for ALL ENDS, the band got signed to Gun Records in 2006 and released the top ten MCD “Wasting Life”. Further in their young career, the band soon released their first selftitled album and toured with the likes of big players like EDGUY, AFTER FOREVER, APOCALYPTICA, FINNTROLL, OOMPH! among others. ALL ENDS soon gained a still growing fanbase not only in their homecountry but also abroad resulting in a chart entry on position 10 in Japan as well.

Enter 2009 the band had to switch singers since Emma dropped out due to family business. ALL ENDS soon welcomed Jonna Sailon to their fold who was more in the pop business up to now. In early fall the same the time was right write a new album and hit the studio real soon. It more or less started with a brainstorming session between Joey, Tinna and Jesper, and less than a month later there was enough demo stuff to prepare for pre-prodction with Robert Laghi. Writing, preproduction and recording all took place at IF studios in Gothenburg, Sweden. The band worked day and night for nearly five months and left the studio proud and satisfied. The opportunity to work with guys like Mike Garson and Charlie Storm turned out be an even greater advantage than ALL ENDS could ever imagine. Songs like the first single “Generation Disgrace”, the non compromising rocker “Area 1 (Hope & Fear)” or the touching ballad “Nobody’s Story” are a statement that ALL ENDS are set apart from all other female fronted bands in the music biz.

Noone could put it better than the band themselves: ”The new ALL ENDS album is our way to show just how broad music can be, and how it can move you in so many different ways. And writing this album became an important task and we gave it our all.

A lot of heart, love and soul. A lot of tears, anger and sometimes ignomity for mankind. But most of all honesty. Honesty is the right word to summarize the second album from ALL ENDS."
