An Austrian duo whose music blends bleak metal with cathartic melody.
If you want to frame them, start with 'Panoptycon' and '02:19 AM, Psychosis'. That's their sound.
Listen to '02:19 AM, Psychosis' or 'Panoptycon' and you'll hear what they do. The songs carry a specific weight, heavy textures meeting melancholic melodies, that some find cathartic and others find too bleak. That tension is the point.
Matthias Sollak and Michael Steuerer formed the band in 2007. They've put out albums like 'Aokigahara' in 2014 and 'Mære' in 2021, with 'Scars Beneath the Skin' arriving in 2023. The core duo has stayed constant, working with various session musicians along the way.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
