INMe have ‘Single Of The Weak’ despite losing bandmember
It hasn’t been easy weeks for UK’s InMe: First second guitarist Ben Konstantinovic and drummer Simon Taylor got involved in a car crash right before their last UK tour. However, when the core of InMe played their tour as the 3piece they have been for the majority of their career it turned out that the spark was still there among the three of them, so they decided to carry on as power-trio:
“Me, Greg & Si have come to the decision to continue without Ben Konstantinovic in the band. This was a hard choice to make as we’re all good friends but InMe requires a level of absolute commitment that Ben couldn’t give. I sat down & personally discussed it all with Ben & it was totally amicable & open. He is an amazing guitarist & it’s a pleasure performing with him & I’ll continue to do so outside of InMe. We will remain a 3 piece for the foreseeable future & will not be rushing into anything. The album is doing well & things are on the up! We wish Ben the best of luck with all his other musical ventures.” ~ Dave Dave McPherson (vocals & guitar)
However, the current developments fit the overall tone of their current album Herald Moth which is to never allow things to get you down and just grow stronger with every hardship:
“I’ve had a particularly tough couple of years. Not to say I feel sorry for myself but things haven’t been particularly easy. Part of that was I gave in too much, became too weak and let everything get on top of me. The main theme throughout ‘Herald Moth’ is adversity really. It gave me a therapeutic outlet to spit out all the darker, negative things within me to become stronger at the end of it.”
The band’s 4th album, Herald Moth is a record which reveals a band matured, one who has clearly shaken off the early ‘emo’ trappings of their 2003 debut.
“We wanted to create lots of technical layers with an edge; to heavy, melodic tunes. With ‘Daydream Anonymous’ we established a more mature sound and pushed our abilities as musicians. Now we’ve really stepped that up. The new album is darker, more epic and grander than we’ve ever been.”
Harald Moth is out all over Europe NOW! InMe are currently looking into touring for the beginning of 2010.
