The music can be described as futurepop or a club friendly approach to goth/darkwave.
Pride and Fall came into being when Sigve and Svein wanted to pursue a more electronic and club-oriented sound than what they were doing in their goth/darkwave project An Evening With Kisses. As a result, Per Waagen, an old friend joined Pride and Fall as a programmer and keyboard player.
They released a demo shortly after, and in 2003, released their debut album, Nephesh, and debut single Paragon on Dependent Records in Europe, Metropolis Records in the United States, and Memento Materia in Scandinavia. Pride and Fall performed their first gigs outside of Norway in 2004, including Cyberia/X-Club in Holland, the Invitation Festival in Belgium and the Dark City Festival in Scotland.
In late 2005, the band released their second single, the web-only release Border, and in 2006, their second album Elements of Silence. Along with Revolution By Night the band toured Britain in May 2006, supporting Covenant on their UK Skyshaper tour. Pride and Fall released their 3rd album, In My Time of Dying, on 17 August 2007, their final album on Dependent Records. Their also played the Festival kinetic 2.0 in Canada 17 May 2008.
After a break the band returned on Dependence 2012 with the song Reborn, and a new album were released 30 August 2013.
Beginning with influences of metal, goth and progressive trance, Pride and Fall came together to combine the distinct and contrasting elements of these genres into something never heard before to spawn a refreshing and innovative surprise for the listener. Hailing from Norway, vocalist Sigve Monsen along with Per Waagen and Svein Joar Auglaend Johnsen have been dredging the depths of electronic music for fresh ideas since 2000. With the first album, Nephesh, Pride and Fall had created a new and innovative sound in the world of Futurepop. They further explored this sound in the follow up album Elements of Silence. The third album from the band, 2007βs In My Time Of Dying, was recorded following a year marked by divorce, a friend's suicide, a loss in the family, and more. The experiences shaped the sound and feel of the band. In 2013 Pride and Fall returned with Of Lust and Desire, an album showing the bandβs growth while maintaining the styles that were loved by their fans and forged over a tumultuous decade. Turn the Lights on EP was released 15.08.2014, and includes the original track, one Pride and Fall remix, three additional remixes and the new song As I Carve.

Nothing can compare to staying up late and catching these unbelievable events on illegal cable as a teenager. Best MMA memories ever. Pride never dies.
@GoogleUserOne
Just the absolute best shows. I remember they picked that weird sperm theme when I had my buddies over. They thought I was trippibgb how they claim to be pride fan boys. PND
@AP2brolic
Very excited for this. Pride is a (now) overlooked spectacle which proved to be one of the more integral parts of the sport we know today. Some of the greatest MMA events and fights to ever take place were within Pride when the platform of the sport was barely stable.
@wilfred_ho
Japanese organization, Mexican supplements, Brazilian soccer kicks, and an Irish documentarian. I'm grabbing the top-shelf whiskey for this one.

I am very excited. I've wanted a series discussing Pride for so long ! From its first novelty events to its heightened status GP , to its near elite mid run, and to its unfortunate end. I hope you can show people everything aspect pride. Be it good/bad/ugly. That it wasnt just a "circus" but also that it was the Pinacle of MMA. A sporting spectacle for the fans and fighters.
@czeszejko1
I loved the spectacle and pageantry pride brought. Such a different vibe to their events. The epic walk outs, the announcer being so over the top and so many mma pioneers in their prime.
@tomskid27
Please do more of PRIDE! I missed the Pride years and didnβt get into MMA until 2010. I never got to see these great fighters in the early years. I only saw them when the UFC picked them up. Please do more on Pride. ππΌ

I just found your channel today, starting with the Connor documentary. I've been watching many of your other videos for hours. Outstanding work. Great editing, very witty humor, and great narration. Please keep the vids coming π
