Atame - Borderline CD

Inspired by grungerock of the 90s, genre boundaries are too narrow for this album. From soft to loud, from tenacious to hard, vocals and guitars fuse and reinvent themselves again and again. The interaction of these protagonists arises from the connection of two people loving each other in a complementary, reflective and honest way. Benny is the author of the songs on "Borderline" and plays guitar. His influences come from German Punkrock, Bay-Area Thrash-Metal but mainly Seattle Grunge like Alice in Chains, Nirvana or Soundgarden. Many of the songs are about the experiences with his muse Myriam and are written for or about her, but also pop-cultural inspiration finds its way into his music. Benny's guitar playing is rhythm-based and infused with a natural feel for melody, while his solos often add a new dimension to the song structure and accentuate with feeling.

Martin also plays guitar on "Borderline". His musical influences are wide spread, so his guitar playing has a completely different approach than Benny's and works as a natural complement. With his blues character he adds a decisive timbre to the overall sound. Martin is also the calming influence of the band and represents the necessary, relaxed centre of the creative structure.
