Norwegian gothsters ELUSIVE play Electrowerkz on Saturday in support of one of this years outstanding album releases. Their myspace page goes on to say:
Not only does ELUSIVE bridge the gap between tradition and modern edge, between fresh arrangements and polished melodies with ease, they remind people that there's more to Gothic Rock than contrived bombast and depression for the sake of image. ELUSIVE is about powerful guitar rock with a unique melancholic twist. Each track on Locked Doors, Drinks And Funerals has its own fascinating aura. So Destination Zero transports the legant and also frightening coolness of the modern industrial age while Into Your Arms seems to indulge in the endless warmth of the prarie "there wasn't a specific vision this time as opposed to our two previous albums. We just started recording and didn't think about where it was going," says Olsson. "Some of the songs point back to The Great Silence, others point to Destination Zero. And some of them are possibly pointing towards our next album, who knows? It's an evolving thing. But it still sounds distinctively ELUSIVE."
After the band has performed there will be a three floor Slimelight clubnight to please all of your goth, industrial and EBM needs.
MONDAY 10 DECEMBER

Decapitated are getting ready to organise a special sale with original DECAPITATED gear and merch, other one-of-a-kind memorabilia and gifts from friends in other bands to help raise money for Vitek's and Covan's families.
