AUGUST
LIFE is
the brainchild of Gert Nijboer and Bryan Ketelaars. With
Gert's songwriting prowess and Bryan's expertise in crafting vocal melodies and lyrics, the duo embarked on a creative journey that
culminated in the release of their debut album ”NEW
ETERNITY”.
The album was received very positively and was even compared to being a
sister album of the impressive ‘Operation:
Mindcrime’
by Queensrÿche.
Drawing inspiration from classic metal acts like Dio, Rainbow and
Savatage, as well as more modern icons such as Dream Theater, Threshold, Shadow Gallery, Evergrey, Vanden Plas,
Pagan's Mind, and even Pantera, August Life has forged a sound that
seamlessly blends the best of various eras.
After a dream start as a live act, performances with bands like Tygers
of Pan Tang and Praying Mantis and shows sceduled with bands like
Threshold and Tyketto quickly followed, both domestically and
internationally. However, the COVID pandemic and its restrictions put
this momentum on hold. The time spent in lockdown was used productively to write outstanding new songs. In 2021, the band launched the song ”THE BROKEN HOURGLASS”, which was very well received worldwide.Following this, the band further refined their craft with new material, set to be featured on their next album "PASSAGE OF TIME" produced by Markus Teske (Vanden Plas, The New Roses, UDO, Mob Rules, Dominici, Saga, Symphony X). Release date the 29th of August 2025.
