No More E.S. Posthumus… =((((

I have no idea how I didn’t already know about this. It’s horrible… bad bad bad bad news for the world of music. =((( No more E.S. Posthumus… that’s a real pain. Franz Vonlichten of E.S. Posthumus passed away last May. Today I was looking to see if there’s any new albums from them, and I landed on this note written by Helmut Vonlichten, announcing the passing of his brother. =””(( It does not mention what happened though…

Gosh… it’s not as if good music is easy [heck, or even possible!!] to come by nowadays. E.S. Posthumus was a real gem, and definitely one of my favourite bands of the current era. I really love their music so much… *sigh*… what a talent… *siiiiigh*… this is a real tragedy… *snifff*….

Now I only hope that at some point we will hear something new from Helmut Vonlichten…. *sigh*…..

Yes this really is a tragedy. ES Posthumus were the best cinematic music band I knew of.

Try Two Steps From Hell. They make epic music, too.

If you haven't heard, Helmut joined with their long-time friend Nihl Finch and singer Paint and formed Les Friction. To be completely honest, it feels like the ultimate culmination of the Vonlichten sound.

Their debut album is an absolute must. I've already begun covering tracks from it. So powerful, yet intuitive. It's hard to have a favourite, but 'String Theory' was the one that grabbed me, and 'Come Back To Me' is just epically beautiful.

I was crushed as well. Alas, something amazing arose from the ashes.

@Aubianne: Oh that's great to know, I had no idea! I will definitely check this "Les Friction" out! =) Thanks a lot for the info. It could make absence of E.S. Posthumus a little more bearable.
