News 
Prison of Flesh
December 22 2008
Dear metalheads,
My bandmates and I are proud to give you a first preview of our upcoming album on which we have been working for the last months. We haven't finished to compose every song (but mostly) but we wanted to give you a hint about what is going on in our creative environment ;-p So we chose to share this song with you.
This is a really intensive and fast song with a lot of elements that you already met in our music: crushing guitars, blasting drums,... you name it. But we're just getting better and better. No joke.
Nevertheless this song is special to us because we had the opportunity to work with one of the most promising singers of our area. Noemie (yeah, she's a girl) looks like an angel but she screams louder than the trumpets of apocalypse.
Do yourself a favour for Christmas and listen to Prison of Flesh.
Merry Christmas.
Credits for the song:
Lead guitars: Ulrich Schadeck
Rhyhtm guitars: Nicolas Toussaint
Drums: Guillaume Pierson
Bass: Schumyx
Vocals: Noemie Leer
Recorded at Nicolas' home studio.
Mixed by EAS Studios (UK)
Guitars reamping by LSD Studio (Germany)
Music, lyrics and arrangements: Ulrich Schadeck
Keyboards arrangements: Ulrich Schadeck
Keyboards programming: Nicolas Toussaint

Singer Wanted
September 6 2008
Forced Evolution is officially searching for a new singer. As we had to change twice over the two last years we now hope to find someone regular able to fit the band and stay for a much longer time. Seasonal singer is quite a problem and we want more stability about that. As a modern metal band our singer is required...
- To have good level in growling, screaming (whatever you call it) and singing (you are singer, aren't you ;-p). Please consider that we are searching for someone who knows what he does and who has technique, not one of those improvised singers. We consider singing as a entire instrument;
- To speak fluently English and to be able to write lyrics in English;
- To be motivated and available for gigs;
- To work as often as possible on his singing. Discipline is really important in our band;
- To be experienced about presence on stage and conscious about communication with the audience; - To have his own gear (experience in one or several bands is a big plus, even if not in the Metal area);
- To have interest in Forced Evolution and/or the style we play Modern Death-Trash Metal (or whatever you name it);
- To be able to record yourself and to demo songs for the band forthcoming material (only a computer, your mic and a very simple interface are needed), we work a lot more throught the internet than in the rehearsal room;
If you fill one or several of those conditions and if you feel like giving a chance, send us a mail ulrichschadeck@hotmail.com with personal details about you and about all what you judge interesting for us to know. We'll send you a backing track on which you will able to demo your version of one of our song. You can also send links to what you did, your previous bands, recordings.... We are curious to get to know as much as possible about you. We'll consider seriously every mail we'll receive.
Cheers
Ulrich and Nicolas

Management agency signed
September 4 2008
Dear all,
We officialy announce that we signed the young booking/management agency Rocking on The Moon (www.rockingonthemoon.be - www.myspace.com/rockingonthemoon). Due to obvious reasons of lack of time we decided to let the booking of the band to passionate people who are specialized and have more time to search for gigs, organize fests and so on...
In concrete terms this agency will be organising gigs for us as doing a few other tasks. However you can still contact us directly by using the adress ulrichschadeck@hotmail.com if you want to book the band for a gig. Depending on the size of the event we'll transfer the mail to our manager - Stephane Mertz.
Cheers.
Ulrich

Lionel leaves Forced Evolution
July 20 2008
Dear Metalfolks,
We officialy announce that Lionel is no longer member of Forced Evolution. Lionel and I had a personal discussion about the band and Lionel told me he would probably had not time enough to go on singing in the band during next year. Furthermore he and the other members of the band decided to part from each other for personal and musical reasons.
But none of the 2 shows on the 22nd and 23rd Augustus will be cancelled. So do not bother about that. Forced Evolution is well living. We are now resting a little bit as we are writing new exciting material for our first complete album.
Yours Faithfully,
Ulrich

Back from Hell over Paradise
July 10 2008
Hey kids,
I hope you're fine. Well deserved Summer Holydays finally arrived. And those started pretty fine for Forced Evolution and for us as we played in Metal Camp 08. And let me tell you guys this was a truly amazing experience and a really fabulous trip to hell.
We rode with our friends in mini-busses for more than 15 hours on Thursday and arrived there at night. Then we played on the first Day of the Metal Camp, so Friday 4th July, on the 2nd stage. Then we had all the time to have fun out there and spend time with our buddies.
And seriously I could not tell you what was the most outstanding of all what we experienced there : the crowded stage (playing between after Six Feet Under and before Carcass), the stars we saw in flesh and bones and met (Apocalyptica, Arch Enemy, Soilwork...) or the outstanding performance we watched (In Flames, Wintersun, Evergrey, Hacride, Rage, Behemoth...) or the breath-taking landscapes all around (and not least) or the fucking good weather (my shoulders were completely sunburnst after one day) and all the fun we had with our friends, people out there...
Believe me or not, what we lived is just indescribable with words.
Anyway we are now back in our area and ready to rock. We have a lot of projects to run now, new photographs to post, signing with management agency, new videos in preparation, new album currently in writing...
But I don't say much. You'll have the chance to discover progressively all those during the summer holydays and after.
Forced Evolution will keep rocking. No rest for the brave.
Stay tuned.
Ulrich

Rockhal Devil Driver / MetalCamp tickets
May 4 2008
Hi all,
We opened for Devil Driver last week at the prestigious Rockhal, in Esch-sur-Alzette (Luxemburg). We had a very good time there. People were really warm and receptive to our show. Thus we would like to thank you all for the fun we had together. We receive a lot of positive comments but as constructive criticisms as well (that's funny to see how people have different opinions about what a good metalband should be).
Besides we sold all of our "Ride to Hell with Forced Evolution" tickets ;-p. In other words the 2 mini-busses to Metal Camp are sold out. However we still have more "classic" tickets available to access the festival for people who want to go on those heavenly holidays. So do not hesitate to contact us if you want some.
Metal'up your ass.

Blastbeat contest and Metal Camp tickets
March 2 2008
Hey boys and girls,
We played yesterday on 1st March 2008 a gig at l'Entrepôt (Arlon, Belgium) and we won the BlastBeat Contest. This was a fucking night, although we were just allowed to play 25 minutes. However this was far enough to show the jury our skills and to rock people down the stage. We had a very good time and it looks like you did too ;-p
Consequently, we now accessed the second stage of the contest. We are then required to send a demo and a video of our band performing. However we have no further details about the video : should it be live or not, when we have to deliver this ??? We still have no clue. We'll keep you updated when we know more about it.
On the other hand, I would like to remind you all about the opportunity we offer you in taking part to the MetalCamp festival (www.metalcamp .com - at which we have the opportunity to perform !!!) in Slovenia and to travel with the band and have fun with us. The tickets for the festival only cost:
114€ - Access to the festival from 4th to 8th July including full access to camping from 3rd July to 9th July 08,
84€ - Access to the festival from 4th to 7th July including full access to camping from 4th July to 7th July 08,
50€ - Access to festival during one day, no access to camping
WE SELL TICKETS !!!
A little tease to convince to join us ;) : Pictures of the MetalCamp 2007
You'll just have to add the freights for the travelling. We are still planning to organize a bus or train trip. Once more you'll know more about this soon.
If you want to take part to the trip OR BUY TICKETS send us a mail to contact@forcedevolution.net
Cheers
Ulrich

Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh yeah guys, Metal Camp 2008
February 25 2008
We are so proud to announce that Forced Evolution will take part to the Metal Camp 2008 (www.metalcamp.com), in Slovenia, on the second stage, amongst top metal acts such as Arch Enemy, Evergrey, Opeth, Soilwork, In Flames, Apocalyptica... and many more.
We all want to thank every single person who contributed and voted to give the band the opportunity to participate to this huge metal event. We have no words to describe this dream becoming a reality.
However, we'd like to offer you the opportunity to share this unique wonderful experience in the name of Rock'n Roll. Thus we chose to organise a bustrip with the band to the festival. We'll soon post more details about it but we are now organising a formula that will gather the travelling - festival - and camping costs. We would leave on the 3rd July 2008 and we will be back on the 9th july 2008.
If you are interested you can already send a mail to us:
contact@forcedevolution.net
Stay tuned about it and be sure to be part of it.
Guillaume, Lionel, Nicolas, Schumyx, Ulrich

In the name of the whole band, I wanna wish you all a happy new year. On our side, these last days of banquet were no opportunity to rest as we already started composing new songs to eventually complete a album.

No rest for the braves.

Artwork almost done and gig next week
December 16 2007
Hi,
We are about to finish our cover/booklet for our new demo. The designer we worked with is Nicolas Spreutels, from Nick Design (www.nick-design.org). We finally chose to work with a promising belgian designer, although we received answers from Russia, Poland, France, Greece... because we thought it would be much easier to explain ideas and concepts in our mother tongue on the one hand. Then, his talent and his style was also a good reason, of course. We are about to finish the creation of our artwork and we can thus announce that our demo will be available in one or two weeks. We are not sure about the selling price yet but you will be given more details about that soon (around 7€ probably). As we can only afford to produce a small amount of demo's, be sure to get yours. You will soon be able to order it on our "order" section. But you will also be allowed to get your copy to our gigs as well. By the way, we will play at the Mistral Cafe in Arlon next friday. Be sure to come over if you are from the area.
Stay tuned then.
Ulrich

Artwork and video update
November 11 2007
Hi duuuuuuuuuudes,
As we are having difficulties with finding the right designer for our logo's and our artwork - that we expect as strong as our brand new compositions - we have just put a new video (the last, but not least) with the most important part of our band: fun. So, as soon as you feel ready to experiment this side of our band, just go on our youtube page and check our third video. And once more...have fun. Because we did.
We'll keep you updated about our demo. It's coming very very soon.

New Songs mixed and available soon
October 14 2007
Hi people,
We finally got our songs mixed. Ronnie, from Enhanced Audio Productions (http://www.myspace.com/enhancedaudioproductions) did an awesome job... even if it's not such a big surprise to hear how good it sounds (we worked harder than hardest on our project). I hope you'll share that opinion. Anyway, we had a real pleasure to work with him although the distance. He's a really friendly guy. Ronnie, we love you. Ahahahah. Seriously now, here's the setlist of our new demo:
1. Overture
2. Echoes of Evolution (Instrumental)
3. Unveiled
4. First Day of My Apocalypse
5. The Enchanted (with special guest)
However, we haven't finished yet as we are now working on the artwork and trying to get a new logo for the band...BUT we especially planned to put one song every week on our websites during the 3 next weeks, starting from this monday. We are expecting straight comments from you all on all of our websites. Comment everything from our new singer to the style of our crazy drummer.
Stay tuned...
Ulrich.

Mixing
October 6 2007
Hey,
We sent the tracks of our recordings on Wednesday the 3rd to Sweden for mixing and mastering. The guy we chose to work with is Ronnie Björnström from Sweden (http://www.myspace.com/enhancedaudioproductions). The reasons for our collabarotion are quite simple as we already had the opportunity to appreciate his professionnalism and his talent and he's as passionate as we are about his job. We can't tell you how long it will take before receiving the final version of our recording but we already know the result will be amazing, thanks to the guy. As soon as we received it you will know for sure.Then we still have to work on the artwork for the band. Never enough. On the other hand you'll find some video's about the band's recording on Youtube and on our own websites (www.forcedevolution.net - www.myspace.com/forcedevolutionmusic - http://www.youtube.com/forcedevolution). Do not hesitate to let comments about these.
Enjoy!!!.
Ulrich.

We're done !
September 21 2007
Hi Everyone,
It has been a long time, now, since our last piece of news. So here are some fresh stuff about the band. First of all we finished recording our new demo. It took approximately 10 days to record everything. Like previous year we recorded all our tracks in different locations and at various times. The drums were made at the end of July. Hopefully Guillaume managed to be ready in spite of his injuries to his rist and ankle. All the guitars, bass, and vocals were made in Augustus, but still in different sessions. Concerning this point it was hard to keep thinking about the recording and to stand the pressure with things going on for such a long period. Anyway we have a lot of surprises for you. We are now clearly aiming towards desolation fields of trash and death metal but still keep our melodic touch. We did a huge work on guitars as we decided to record FOUR guitar tracks on EVERY rhythm guitar part, excepting my solos of course. This is mainly why we took so much time. We wanted it to be as precised, cutting and tight as possible. The other reason is that we had to build, then remove and build again our home studio between every different recording sesssion. So we lost a lot of time by doing this. I'll post more details about our songs later. At the moment we are now taking the time to protect our music. When this is done we'll send our tracks to a studio for the mixing and mastering session. All this should be achieved in 2 weeks. Then you'll get more details. Anoter thing I would like to tell you about is our new singer. His name is Lionel Bauer. You might already know him as frontman for his previous band, Shaft of Light. You'll soon know more about this too. I think it's better to let you discover the result of his soumission to my fucking demands by yourself. We'll post some new videos of our recording sessions on the websites as soon as possible.
Keep rocking.
Ulrich.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Begining of recording
July 13 2007
Hi metalheads,
Here are our last news. We are now adding the final touch to most of our songs. We are working on keyboards and vocals as the intrumental parts are close to the end. We will begin the drums recording next week. Then we'll track guitars-bass and vocals in August. This second demo should probably be a giant step in something closer to what we want to do in term of compositions. We are already excited about the idea of hitting back the stage with these kickass songs (not objective, of course, but you might like our new tunes). We still keep the mystery about our new singer but you'll know about this soon. Cheers.
Ulrich. |
