About Release:

"Roses Never Fade is a multi-national folk-noir project spearheaded by Dwid Hellion (Integrity). Their debut was released in 2006 on Rock Vegas Records and has in the meantime sold-out. The album was mainly distributed through channels close to the hardcore/metal scene. Neuropa Records is proud to reissue the album with the tracks from a limited 7" ep as an added bonus, and as such to introduce Roses Never Fade to the more folk-oriented audience. Roses Never Fade accompanies the listener on a nightmarish excursion through 15 chilling tomes. Driven by a core of lushly layered acoustic guitars that swell to and fro while creating a cavernous wail that envelops the half whispered vocal textures. For fans of Integrity, Joy Division, Bauhaus, Tom Waits. Isn't it a bit sad when you find yourself celebrating the vvisdom and songs of a band that is only a little bit less boring that the myriads of phoney bands these days? It is sad yet in a world where rebellion has become just another gimmick, Roses Never Fade's antagonistic streak is refreshing. Roses Never Fade has always done everything at their disposal to avoid labeling what they do, or to avoid being labeled  themselves. To be beyond any existing classification has always pleased them. Unfortunately, they had to learn over the years that when one refuses to be categorized, there's a world full of people (all entirely less well qualified) who are only too eager to pigeonhole what you do or think. That the pigeonholing is generally more a reflection of what they think, or assume, is fairly obvious. The will to label will always prevail over what's being labeled, usually at the expense of either truth or understanding. Roses Never Fade's views might be highly unfashionable, but to them they are fairly consistent with what they have seen to be true. If others choose to see the world in terms of black and white, that's certainly their prerogative, and Roses Never Fade would never dream of trying to tell them otherwise. However, they might suggest that they always keep a loaded pistol on the off chance that they could possibly be mistaken."
