Closure In Moscow, a relatively new rock band hailing from Australia. The band comprises lead

vocalist Chris De Cinque, drummer Beau McKee, guitarist and vocalist Mansur Zennelli, bassist

Brad Kimber and guitarist Michael Barrett.



Only 18 months after first forming, Closure in Moscow signed to Taperjean Records and released

their debut EP (self-proclaimed 'albumette') in 2008, titled The Penance and the Patience. They

have established a name for themselves with an array of shows in their home country alongside

international acts such as Saosin, Coheed and Cambria, Aiden, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, A Static

Lullaby, Street Drum Corps, and Unwritten Law. The band's debut studio album, First Temple, was

released in May 2009.



The band has been compared to other experimental and progressive rock acts The Mars Volta and

Circa Survive by music website, Absolute Punk. Additionally, they have been likened to post-

hardcore band Chiodos, and defined as having "more in common with complex, seasoned bands like

Rush and Tool than they do with fellow Aussie rockers AC/DC".



Their style has been described as a "catchy, yet melodic, brand of progressive, avant-garde rock"

by Kill Your Stereo.
