History

The band started in 1996, when guitarist Dawe and singer Numen recorded their first songs. Their aim was to bring back to life the lyrics of dead German poets.

With names like Dawe (guitar), Numen (vocals), Cpt. Loft (bass), und RaweN (drums) they released the CD "Nachtwerke" in 1998 and their songs became part of some compilations.

in 2001 they released the EP called "Schönheit ist rauh", and another album ("Urworte", 2003), but the official discography starts in the year 2005 with the record deal, when they release "Letzte Worte" on Metal Axe Records (distribution: Point Music). The band continues to use poems and re-record some of the older songs.

In January 2007 the band releases in Europe again via Metal Axe Records (now distributed by: ZYX Music) the follow-up "Klage" with new songs and lyrics of dead poets.

After bassplayer Cpt. Loft leaves the band in 2009 due to personal reasons he is soon replaced by Doc. Bawin.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    Psychology keeps trying to vindicate human nature. History keeps undermining the effort.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    I believe that history has shape, order, and meaning; that exceptional men, as much as economic forces, produce change; and that passé abstractions like beauty, nobility, and greatness have a shifting but continuing validity.
    Camille Paglia (b. 1947)

    The only history is a mere question of one’s struggle inside oneself. But that is the joy of it. One need neither discover Americas nor conquer nations, and yet one has as great a work as Columbus or Alexander, to do.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
