Another one of those unclassifiable bands that you never get to describe properly with just words! Formed all the way back in 1994 in Lepizig, Germany by Tobias Spier, Alex Motz, Markus Espenhain, Jan Stölzel and Andy Schmidt, who was the only one from the first bunch that stayed in the band, it remained an unfinished project until 2001, when Barthel and Maluschka joined in. Musically, they have taken such opposing styles as black, death, hardcore, power, progressive and melodic metal, mixed them with ambient and a touch of electronica and somehow made it work. The closest reference I can give you (and it's not even that close) for their first album is the latest work of bands like Dimmu Borgir, mixed with a bit of Meshuggah and Cynic. The second album is even more extreme than the first, and less epic at the same time. This is something that's not for everyone and it will take a few listens to grow on you but, in the end, I think it's worth it.
