Nemesea

“There are times that you need to speak your mind and be brutally honest. That’s the quiet resistance within you,” says guitarist HJ of Nemesea, referring to the title of the band’s brand new album. The Dutch female-fronted band, famous for combining gothic rock with trance, pop and electro, have fine-tuned this musical combination to perfection on their third album. The Quiet Resistance is a gem that reveals its many-splendored colors more and more with each time you press play.

History
Nemesea was founded in 2002 by vocalist Manda Ophuis and guitarist Hendrik Jan de Jong. The band signed a deal with a small Dutch label and released their debut album Mana in 2004. The album made the band an instant rising star on the musical horizon. Nemesea toured intensively and drew the attention of both fans and industry people with great album reviews. In 2006, Nemesea signed with sellaband.com, a brand new format for bands to record and release their music independently. Within a couple of months, the band gathered many ‘believers’ and was the first band worldwide to collect 50.000 dollars, allowing them to record and internationally release their second album In Control (2007). Their cooperation with Sellaband opened many international doors for the band; it enabled them to work with Tony Platt (AC/DC, Iron Maiden and Motorhead), who produced their second album. Nemesea, eager to be ahead of their peers, was also the first band worldwide to give two special shows in OMNI-surround.

The Quiet Resistance will be released in November 2011 on Napalm Records.
