This is going to be a rather special article, a special candy for those to enjoy the gothic music, it’s special because we are going to talk about a special group, and therefore it requires a little bit more time than usual, in deed I would recommend you to taste this article slowly and enjoy it, for doing it you will need about half an hour of relaxing and enjoying, if you are up to it, please follow the instructions while you read them…

My Friend Skeleton

My friend skeleton gothic band

I’m not going to say anything about this band yet, the first thing that I want you to do is to lower the lights, get comfortable, play the following video, close your eyes (and keep them closed) and enjoy it… (It takes about 6:30 but believe me when I say it worth the time).

Well now you have tasted “my Friend Skeleton” music, who is this people and why I didn’t meet them before? I don’t know but their music is so pretty that it makes my heart bleed…

I had to bring them to you.

When I come with a new group to you, I usually tell you to go listening to their music while you read what I have to say about the band but this time I’m going to ask you not to do so because if you did you would lose a big part of their art, that it’s not only about their music… you will understand if you are patient and wait to see the following video.

Who are this guys?

I’m not even sure if the question is “who” or “what” but whatever it is, let’s see what “my friend skeleton” is in their own words.

My Friend Skeleton are establishing with project 23-12 a mirror world between the facades for you.

My Friend Skeleton has always been more than a normal band. They are messengers and intermediators of an own philosophy

With their new work 23-12 they create a portal to a very special journey which starts at a point where life finds its end. It will lead you to your memories of long forgotten dreams.

The portal is the linchpin for your prospective odyssey, to think about who you are and what you dream of. It is up to you to re- surrect your lost dreams at this unique place where life and death exist in parallel. This last resting-place connects web, music and art in an innovative way to a new philosophy of life. A place, where the past will be left behind and where you can move on to pastures new.

Design your memorial in an individual way. Come to see other graves, become acquainted with other perspectives and become a part of this community sui generis which will not tie itself to already existing conventions. Gain bone material which you can trade for objects for your tombstone.

The journey will start on December 23rd at 23:12. All of you who will register on the same day will obtain a special object for their memorial. It will only be awarded in these remaining 48 minutes. My Friend Skeleton are inviting you to their unique uni- verse. Take their hand, seize your chance, be a pioneer and make this place an unforgettable resting-place - for all living and all dead.

About My Friend Skeleton:

"Unce upon a time, we knew a creature, bothersome and wretched in its nature. We never really payed regard to it, but then one day, when it died and no-one even realized, we started missing it. We want to honour it by naming our group 'My Friend Skeleton' - for a skeleton was all that remained from it...". My Friend Skeleton consist of Amaya Sakinah Skeleton (vocals), Archimed S. Skeleton (keys), Kay Ozz Skeleton (vocals), Serena Skeleton (drums) and Violetta Skeleton (vocals).

Maybe, after reading those lines you have the feeling of having read nothing, I had some short of that feeling because maybe those lines are not enough for describing what this band inspire…

The problem is that I can’t do anything better so it has come the time in which you should watch the second video that I bring to you, don’t close your eyes, don’t miss a second of the video so you can appreciate all their art which, as I said before, is much more than just their music.

What to say… excellent? Masterwork? If you had the same feelings as I had when I first saw that video, then your chills have been more loquacious than anything I’m able to write here.

The ambient, the music, the aesthetics… your blood battle for getting into some kind of gate that would bring you to that world and boils for seeing it done…

If after reaching this point you are feeling the same as I did when I discovered the band, then you must be wondering how it would be a live concert of this band… if this songs are quite extraordinary “per se” you should listen to this in a live event…

Raise the volume of your speakers a little bit (well maybe a little bit more) and then imagine yourself in a concert with drums that sounds like… this…
