After the band's breathtaking full length album debut, the appropriately named Electric Violence on Berlin's Cockrockdisco outfit (2006), their long expected follow-up The Lost Age was released this year via the notorious Oslo-based Fysisk Format label. While Next Life's unique mixture of aggressive metal riffs and the virtual worlds of old school game consoles could be easily ending up as a sheer exercise in male geekness, their almost theatrical live presentations featuring intense video projections and flickering light effects completely deny that, providing an abstract, almost artsy meta level to the probably most ultra brutal onslaught of musical mayhem you've ever heard!  Recently Next Life's restless activities gained them quite a bit of international press attention, highlighted by two bigger features on French / German Arte TV station. With an amazing new record, positive media feedbacks galore and a extended European and Norwegian tour in their back, Next Life are always willing to discover new territories. The latest addition to their line-up is drummer Anders, who is a familar name not only to nordic metal heads for his work with groups like Nidingr or noplacetohide.
