Biography

April 1997; Born for Bliss, existing since 1994, awakes with
the overwhelming "Flowing with the Flue". The roots of this
fact are placed over a decade ago. In those times the dutch
Born for Bliss-members Frank Weyzig and Willem van
Antwerpen created thrilling sounds together with the still
cultic (Clan of) Xymox. During the most exiting period of this electronic-wave legend (mid till end of the 80s), Frank and
Wim have been involved in this band. From this period
result the first two Xymox albums which are still classic
highlights.

Since 1995 the third member of Born for Bliss is Remco
Helbers. He found his way to Born for Bliss via The
Dreamside and Love Like Blood on stage. With his very
own style of playing the Chapman Stick, Remco adds a
special dimension to the Born for Bliss-sound. Together,
this trio guarantees an ultimate seductive soundoutput
which was proved impressively by their pre-released
cd-single "Arabia" (for 'Nuclear Blast / Deathwish Office')
in 1996. This single has become an addicting clubhit and
made its way into the german alternative-charts. Those of
you who have seen the band on their german tour together
with The Dreadful Shadows, know that Born for Bliss
stands for an impressive live-show!

We're back in 1997. Now "Flowing with the Flue" marks
Born for Bliss long desired longplay-debut. "With Impres-
sive elegance the band produced a couple of fascenating
pearls. The prickling melodic changes between melancholy
and dynamic along with 80s-charme and 90s-scenery will
not only electrify all wave-fans! The sounding potpourri
impresses with original songwriting, interesting arrange-
ments and charismatic vocals. Already in the first week
after its release "Flowing with the Flue" entered high into
the german alternative album-charts!"

At the end of 1997 Nuclear Blast decides to quit their sub-
division Deathwish Office. So Born For Bliss used the
following year to write a new album and to look out for a
new record company.

In 1999, They finished the final recordings for their latest
album "Between Living and Dreaming", mixed at the
famous Impulse Tonstudio in Hamburg by J.P. Genkel,
known for his work with 'Lacrimosa' and 'Cradle of Filth'.

.......Later thart year the planned release for the album
was canceled due to problems with their new label and
management.........

The band could never overcome these problems and
in the beginning of 2000, Born For Bliss decided to split
up and all three members went different ways and started
working on different projects.


Now, 10 years later, Frank edited and remastered
the final recordings for "Between Living and Dreaming"
and the album is being released after all!!
