Above the ravaged battlefields of human civilisation, 'the lord of the crows' arises: a black angel (Schwarzer Engel in German) which is menacing yet beautiful; alarming and full of fury; fascinating and disturbing. Driving drums, dark guitar riffs, bombastic orchestral percussion and charismatic vocals condense into a mixture the likes of which there has never been before, guaranteed to stir the blood of every fan of dark, aggressive and melodic music. Schwarzer Engel is the new dark light in the overcast sky.
After the 'schwarzen Schmetterling' ...
After the 'schwarzen Schmetterling' and the 'Käferkönig', another creature of the night now grows up in the realm of innovative gothic music. 'The lord of the crows': prosecutor and executioner; seducer and destroyer. Established somewhere between the wild energy of acts such as Cradle Of Filth, the menacing metal bombast of Dimmu Borgir, the melodic rocking fascination of ASP and the dazzling concept of Samsas Traum, the 'black angel' pursues completely new paths. A new dimension opens up, consisting of catchy, aggressive melodies, emotive full stereo-spectrum sounds, driving rhythms and varied arrangements enriched by intelligent German lyrics. Schwarzer Engel is the soundtrack to the apocalypse. An album like a film. The music for the last days. The destruction of all that which has gone before. The beauty of the world's end. The re-creation of a world after the fallout. Sometimes things must be destroyed in order that the new may emerge. Follow 'the lord of the crows' along the dark path into the bewildering world beyond.
