Walpurgisnacht

Walpurgisnacht formed in Berlin around 2009, with Felix May on vocals and keyboards, Christoph Heemann on guitar and synths, and Felix Vogel handling bass and percussion. Their music sits somewhere between ambient, experimental, and industrial, avoiding easy categorization. The track 'Bochbroch' from their 2012 album of the same name became their most recognized piece, though it also drew criticism for its dark lyrical content.

Their discography includes albums like 'Ritus Nocturnus' from 2010, 'Atramentum' in 2014, and 'Necrosphere' in 2018. Other songs in their catalog include 'De Dood Van Kyrië', 'De Kluizenaar', and 'Duyvelsrit den Bockenreyders'. The group's sound tends toward the atmospheric and unsettling, with May's vocals often described as whisper-like or haunting.

While never achieving mainstream commercial success, Walpurgisnacht developed a following among listeners drawn to experimental music. Their work references avant-garde composers and writers, though they remained largely outside conventional music industry channels. The band's output slowed after the late 2010s, with their last major release being 'Necrosphere' in 2018.
