An Austrian band that started in raw atmospheric black metal and gradually opened into expansive, melancholic post-metal.
For a sense of their reflective quality, try 'Where Have You Gone My Friend' or 'Ruinen'. They frame the band's introspective side well.
They began with the self-titled debut in 2009, but the shift toward post-metal and shoegaze textures became unmistakable on the 2014 album 'Melting Sun'. Songs like 'Bliss' and 'Neon' trade traditional black metal aggression for a more reflective, spacious sound. That move into broader sonic explorations without losing a core sense of mood is what defines their catalog.
Formed in Austria in 2005 around Markus Siegenhort and Sašo Vollmaier, they established an atmospheric black metal foundation with their first album. Over time, the sound incorporated more post-metal and shoegaze, evident on albums like 'Polaris' in 2017 and 'Wildhund' in 2021.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
