DAMIEN CAIN: Emotional rock meets nu-metal

Automatic translation. Improvements are constantly being worked on.

Damien Cain has realized a wide variety of projects in his more than 30-year musical past. Among other things, he wrote a vampire musical (long before Polansky’s “Dance of the Vampires” was adapted as a musical), had an Irish folk band and wrote the song “Elenore”, which was interpreted by Sir Christopher Lee! Under the name Cain, his most famous work is probably his gothic-industrial song “Age of Darkness”, released in 2000. Born in Germany, Damien Cain has Irish roots and the collaborations on his new album “Standarte” are at least as international. Artists from Ireland, Great Britain, Finland, Argentina, Brazil, Germany and the USA contribute guitars, synthesizers, vocals and strings.

The album “Standarte” begins with the song “Fascinating Face”, in which Damien Cain oscillates between nu-metal and emotional rock. Thematically, it deals with the feeling of being caught between denial and longing. – The deep desire to still be in love and not wanting to admit to yourself that this is long gone. This paradoxical yet so human feeling is reflected in the captivating video.
