‘Into the Abyss (the ‘Falling Back to Never’ instrumentals).
13 track digital download
It has been a while since Born For Bliss released their latest music. The band is happy to announce that they are working on new music. A new album will be expected in the fall of 2023.
In the meantime, B4B are surprising their fans with a new digital release of an instrumental version of their 2015 album “Falling Back to Never”. When Frank Weyzig scrolled through his archive of B4B tracks, looking for old demo’s and unfinished ideas, he stumbled upon the instrumental versions that he kept from the “Falling Back to Never” sessions. While listening to these instrumental tracks, he got the idea that this material would be interesting for the true B4B fans to hear.
Even without vocals these tracks kept the attributes alive that stand for the typical B4B sound; musical structures filled with chord changes that flow within a melancholic, sometimes dark, sometimes psychedelic, wave rock range, featuring obscure analogue and organic sounds that take you away and will guide you on an unpredictable sonic journey…
The title, ‘Into the Abyss’, chosen for this instrumental album is related to the instrumental remix of the original album track with vocals; ‘Walk on By’.

During the 80’s, Born for Bliss members Frank Weyzig and Willem van Antwerpen created thrilling sounds together with the
still cultic Clan of Xymox. Remco Helbers found his way to B4B via the Dreamside and Love Like Blood on stage. This trio guarantees an ultimate seductive sound-output which was proved impressively by their debut album which entered high into the German alternative charts....more
