debut album on the rise ; Futureperfect in 2002 they had changed their sound from synthpop to trance , the general public had better ideas of what they were all about and loved it . In 2005 when Matter and Form had been released they then again changed their sound to be a little bit more hard rock sounding . The singer had changed his outlook on how the band would be perceived , with that album being rough around the edges , but a little soft as well . Then in 2007 they released Judgment which was said to be a very short album of only ten tracks . The public thought it was over for them until they released Reformation which was a box set of some of their tracks . Then in 2011 with their eighth studio released album titled Automatic , that album included tracks of the gothic industrial nature . In 2013 with the newest addition to their collection came Transnational which was compared to Blutengel . That album was also played by an orchestra on the 2013 Gothic Cruise out of NYC .
Being Gothic myself , VNV Nation is a great band for me , with all of the different styles out there I felt like I was home at the show . Such great people , such great atmosphere , such beauty , and I must say people are way more calm than any other place . Rock shows are crazy , but by going to a Gothic VNV Nation show you come out of there a different person and feeling great . Something about that night was just magical ; seeing VNV Nation has put me on to see what I can accomplish . Being a great artist and trying to make others happy is what will always be my lifetime goal . Through a nightmare there is art , through beauty there is art , and through everything else you must make your life be as great as possible to yourself and not to the world . ♫
