Essence - Like Christ (Official Video)

Essence - Like Christ (Official Video) The Essence are Hans: vocals & guitar, Mark: bass & keyboards and George: drums, an alternative, gothic rock/popband. Their unique sound varies from sheer power to dreamy ballads, ever changing, evolving, sometimes reminiscent of vintage Cure or a postmodern Pink Floyd. After four albums and a 'best of' album, musically the band matured way beyond their original aspirations. As a live band, The Essence built a strong reputation with their powerful, passionate and atmospheric concert performances. Formed in 1984 in their highschool days, The Essence signed to Midnight Music after a year of gigging. In September 1985 the collaboration resulted in the release of their debut album "Purity" preceded by the 12" single "Endless Lakes", which were both received very well, especially in Holland and Germany. A track very popular with the radio- and club-DJ's was "The Cat", which was remixed and released as a second 12". 1987 saw the release of the follow-up album "A Monument of Trust" and the single "A Mirage", a catchy tune that made the top 10 in Spain. It was then, that The Essence started to tour Europe extensively, building up a strong and faithful following in, amongst others, France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland and the UK. The popularity of the group continued to grow with the release of the third album "Ecstasy" in 1988. The videos of the singles "Only For You" and "Like Christ" (1990) got regular airplay on MTV. Until the end of 1990, the band successfully toured throughout Europe. www.cherryred.co.uk/
