Zeromancer
Zeromancer is a Norwegian alternative and/or industrial and/or synth rock group, most of whom met via a different band, Seigmen. During the 1990s, Seigmen dominated the Norwegian rock scene and also made a name for themselves internationally, playing concerts abroad. When they split in 1999, Alex Møklebust (vocals), Erik Ljunggren (programming), Kim Ljung (bass guitar) and Noralf Ronthi (drums) joined forces with Chris Schleyer (guitar), formerly of Kidneythieves, as Zeromancer.
The band's music largely falls within the category of industrial rock, alongside such bands as Nine Inch Nails, KMFDM, Die Krupps, Oomph!, and Rammstein. Elements of synth pop are present in some of their work, bearing similarities to that of Depeche Mode.
They released their first album, Clone Your Lover, in 2000. The title track was a minor hit at many clubs and venues. The album also won the award for the Best Newcomer of 2000 at the German Alternative Music Awards. In 2001 they released the album Eurotrash, which featured a cover version of the song Send Me an Angel by Australian group Real Life, the original having been a major hit in 1983.
In the spring of 2003, coinciding with the US reissue of Clone Your Lover, the band toured in the USA with the early 1990s bands Pigface and My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult. This tour did much to increase Zeromancer's fan base in the United States. In the autumn of the same year, Zeromancer released their third album, Zzyzx. The name comes from a Californian street sign that band saw while touring. Following the release, Chris Schleyer left the band, and joined A Perfect Circle as a rehearsal guitarist. As of March 2007, he is promoting his new band Affected, and working with Nine Inch Nails on their current tour.
The band is currently on a temporary hiatus. Kim Ljung is active with his band, Ljungblut, Alex Møklebust has done some producing for a few Norwegian bands - such as Gåte and Don Juan Dracula - and Erik Ljunggren has lent his programming skills to a number of other artists (Satyricon, Undergod). According to the official Zeromancer website, the band promised to return in Autumn 2006 and mentioned a ten-track demo. The most recent release was in October 2007, a single entitled I'm Yours To Lose.
