Silent film with live instrumental post-rock!
To whoever loves silent films and instrumental rock music, the name We Stood Like Kings must ring a bell. This 4-piece post-rock band from Brussels, Belgium is on the verge of becoming a reference act in live soundtracks to silent film classics. With piano as a central instrument, We Stood Like Kings builds up a wall of sound that blends soft, epic, intense and refined sections.
So far, We Stood Like Kings has composed BERLIN 1927, a soundtrack to Walther Ruttmann's Die Sinfonie der Großstadt, which was released in 2014 on Kapitän Platte and programmed in already more than seventy cinema halls and rock venues across Europe. In 2015, the band has presented a new project, USSR 1926, a soundtrack to Dziga Vertov's A Sixth Part of the World.
The Seven Mile Journey ´s musikalske univers bevæger sig fra dystre, ildevarslende og melankolske passager til intense, storladne og fængslende lydlandskaber der inviterer lytteren ind i rollen som både fortæller og fortolker af denne indadvendte musikalske rejse.
