Ardours is a new Alternative/Gothic Metal band formed by Tristania singer Mariangela Demurtas and multi-instrumentalist/producer Kris Laurent. Their debut album, ‘Last Place On Earth’, due to be released on Friday 9th August, is an exciting, fresh sounding record straddling Rock, Metal and Gothic atmospheres with prominent vocal melodies and hooks, as demonstrated by the record's first single, ‘Last Moment’, today's Video Of The Day. The line-up for ‘Last Place On Earth’ is rounded out by Demurtas’ fellow Tristania member Tarald Lie on drums, who also wrote the lyrics for the songs. Fans of The Gathering, Lacuna Coil, latter-era Tiamat and Idle Hands should certainly keep their eyes and ears open for Ardours.
