Printed At Bismarck's Death

Printed at Bismarck's Death formed in Athens in 2006 around vocalist Dimitra Chondrou and guitarist Thodoris Kousoulas. Their debut album 'Ηδονη' came out in 2010, with the title track becoming a notable piece in their catalog. The band's lineup later included George Kalapothakis on bass and Alexandros Koulousios on drums.

Their music draws from post-rock and ambient textures, creating a sound that's both atmospheric and emotionally direct. Songs like 'Äsop ist tot' and 'Burning Minstrel' show their range, moving between sparse arrangements and more layered compositions without settling into predictable patterns.

Chondrou's lyrics and public statements have sometimes stirred discussion, particularly around 2013 when her views on religion drew mixed reactions. The band has released several albums since their debut, including 'Exile' in 2014, 'The Long March' in 2018, and 'The Endless Wall' in 2022.
