One Without

ONE WITHOUT are a gothic metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden. ONE WITHOUT is the result of taking the well-known “Gothenburg Metal Sound” and expanding it with elements of modern rock and pop in order to create an incomparable and fresh style of its own. There is nothing to fear about the combination of powerful brutality, catchy grooves and an advanced pop-approach. It all depends on the self-confidence of the involved musicians and their song writing skills, which is exactly what makes the difference with ONE WITHOUT.
