Your Life On Hold

Driven by a ‘burning’ restlessness, YOUR LIFE ON HOLD is the melancholic but consoling soundtrack to a life of solitude and loss. The music expresses the inner torments when life gets stuck in sorrow and despair. But it also wants to comfort the troubled soul and soothe the consuming feeling of desolation. A gothic rock sound seemed like natural and fitting to express the melancholic and gloomy narrative of YOUR LIFE ON HOLD. Dreamy and atmospheric guitars inject brightness and colours into the dark compositions, while a tight and solid rock sound sometimes turns the melancholy into an angry harder wall of sound. Therefore we like to call it ‘post goth’, because of the rich array of influences and textures, bringing the classic gothic rock sound to a new level. After getting in touch with Solar Lodge, things got in motion. The debut album “Burning for the ancient connection” was the result of a longer musical journey by John Wolf. While drenching the guitars in dreamy ambient effects, Wolf forged a new sound that would become the blueprint of the melancholic YOUR LIFE ON HOLD music. After the well-received debut album ‘Burning for the ancient connection’, YOUR LIFE ON HOLD resurfaced already one year later with a brand new gothic rock album that sounded even more dark and gloomy than its predecessor. On ‘My name is legion for we are many’ the band proceeded where it had left, but injected its typical sound with more maturity and depth.
