ELUSIVE, a band from Norway.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Hi guys!
Have any of you heard about teh band ELUSIVE from Norway? If not I would like to recommend you guys check them out. They are influenced by The m*****n, Sisters Of Mercy, Billy Idol and Fields Of The Nephilim. They even look like FOTN.

And that's supposed to be a recommendation? :roll:

Only joking. I love 'em. I think Christophe's a fan too - and may be seeing them shortly at WGT if I'm not mistaken?

First two albums certainly have their moments, but they've recently been slated for saying that the new album is basically gonna be material that didn't make the grade from the first two!

I received a promo of the new single yesterday, backed by a horrible cover of Depeche Modes "I Feel You", plus rehashed versions of previous songs.

Probably best to leave well alone in my opinion.

Elusive are pretty good, but somehow lack the special something.
The Saudade, the ability to capture my attention.. I don´t know how to put it.
It´s good goth rock for the club, but when it comes to just sit there and listen to the music they bore me rather soon.
Too normal, too predictable.

That's not completely true, there was some material but the rest is mainly new, I think :?
