Album Notes

This is Evestus!
"The irony is very clever! Evestus has
explained that he is very tired of the lack
of originality within the music industry
and he has kept to his statement by
expressing individualism with
each album he produces."
-RegenMag.com

"Hands up everyone who thought the
saviour of Industrial music would
come from Estonia!
All the requisite Gothic elements are
present, but Evestus demonstrates a keen
ear for melody which he incorporates
to complement the harder edged attack."
-SnobsMusic.net

"Evestus is a sage, a deep thinker who
appears to be in constant battle with his
inner beliefs and with those that society
upholds. His questioning and
philosophical views make his music
all the more appreciable and eccentric.
He is a truly unique creature."

About the album
Official release date- April 29, 2010

As the singer, sole composer and producer of his 3rd
album, "This Is Dramacore," the Estonian-born multi-
instrumentalist Ott Evestus is the driving force behind
EVESTUS. However, his live shows are supported by a
steady band featuring keys, guitars, drums and 4 cellos.

Evestus’s sound can be described as orchestrated
industrial goth-rock with intense rythmic underline.
While dark on the surface, one can sense some irony
and even playfulness in his multi-layered compositions.

In his blog Evestus states “I wanted to create some-
thing that people can listen and go ”whoah, that is
some heavy s***!”, not so much heavy in sound, but
heavy in composition and depth.“
Indeed, with a 28 page booklet, you can literally feel the
weight of the album and already expect that this is more
than your average collection of jingles.

Written in the style Evestus calls “dramacore,” this
album welcomes the listener to the macabre
absinthe-reeking carousel where he combines his passion
for heavy orchestrations with aggressive industrial sound
into a dynamic theatrical fusion.
