Об исполнителе:
After the release of "Subjection" (feat. Claus Larsen of LeætherStrip on vocals) on the famous Zoth Ommog compilation Body Rapture, LOE started to become a "real band" after the release of the first album "Brainstorm" (Zoth Ommog, followed by "Beyond Subconsciousness", "Fahrenheit", "Voices" and the single "Fortuneteller") Jimmy Machon and Torben Schmidt teamed up "by accident" to produce some further music and touring all around the globe. While LOE in the beginning was more a sort of a project and "one hit wonder", working with various guest vocalists such as Ronan Harris (VNV), Stephan Groth (APB), Vasi Vallis (Frozen Plasma/Reaper) Johan van Roy (Suicide Commando), Kay Härtle (Supreme Court) and various other good friends, mastermind Torben Schmidt decided to bring it down to a more band orientated way of working. The real band line up with Jimmy Machon (vocals, machines, production), Torben Schmidt (machines, programming, production), and the helping production work of Vasi Vallis (Reaper/Frozen Plasma, on the last album single). Also Jimmy became a driving force in the production process so he..s now also integrated in doing music, production and artwork designs with a great helping hand of our favourite "pixelman" USER.DX. A new label deal with Accession Records after the going down of Zoth Ommog) brought us the platform to release our music and after the successful release of the single "True Life" we managed to put out a variety of cool CD tunes, such as "One Nation" (MCD), "Krieg gegen die Maschinen (CD Ltd. CD), "Fading Moments" (EP CD), "Gegen den Strom" (CD Ltd. Edition), "Querschnitt" (CD, Best of) and the current limited single "Sleepwalk" (MCD). Also touring became very important to LOE, and they visited germany, denmark, sweden, greece, norway, austria, spain (with more to come...) and actually became a way more professional live unit then in the early days. Kevin Markdan (live drums) are no longer a member of LOE, and will not join in Live. Well things changed, and many things happened, Jimmy became a father, Torben was touring a lot with "Suicide Commando", and working on getting "Infacted recordings" to state it is today. So LOE lay low for a while. Finally they have released "Schwarze Sonne" the first in a series of EP's latest release is a pure online release, a cover version of Depeche Mode's "Stripped". Latest release "Traumatized" 2016 full studio album. go check it out at all the big streaming services, like iTunes, Spotify, Bandcamp ect. Kevin Markdan left the band in July 2006.
