Next Life (band)

Next Life is a Norwegian progressive, electronic- and rock-based band led by guitarist and composer Hai Nguyen Dinh, together with Tormod Christensen on bass and Anders Hangård on drums.

Biography

Formed by Dinh in 1999 in Tønsberg, Norway, their first show was at The Royal Oak (now called Total) in which the band only used an electric guitar, synth and Amiga computer for drums, bass, and melody lines. The sounds derived, and what is partially still called a "chip-instrument", or precisely, the audio-chip of Amiga 1200. As Dinh described in many interviews, from early on as a child did he cultivate his love of computer sounds and Commodore 64.

Though broadly classified as electronic, Next Life has self-professed roots in straight-edge hardcore, metal and gaming. They cite bands such as Zeni Geva, Strife, Aphex Twin and Orbital as musical influences, but combine their very aggressive, visceral sound with typical RPG/science-fiction themes such as digital technology, astrology, and mythology. Through the years the band has involved new contributors, thus extending their sound into new directions. The influence of Hangård on drums for example, has caused a more organic quality and complexity then the previously more detached, hammering, kraut-like sound. The band has also been noted for use of live visuals in their shows—spastic video projections and an intensive, programmed lightshow.
