Artist of the month

Samsas Traum is our featured artist for the month of July. Their style is extremely different from an album to another and makes them very hard to classify; from Black Metal (Heiliges Herz, Die Liebe Gottes), to Acoustic (Wenn Schwarzer Regen), from NDH (Tineoidea) to Cabaret (a.Ura Und Das Schnecken.Haus), all of this mixed with electronic elements, the result remains fully homogeneous and each album flows as a musical experience of its own. Many albums are also "conceptual", with a story tying songs together. Lyrically, vegetarianism plays a major role in Samsas Traum's songs, with the head of the band Alexander Kaschte being a strong vegan militant himself.
Be sure to take look at Samsas Traum's section on this Wiki!
Album of the week

Samsas Traum - Heiliges Herz is this week's featured album. It is a "back to the roots" for Samsas Traum, going back to the Black Metal style of their first album Die Liebe Gottes. However, the comparison probably stops there; where Die Liebe Gottes has a rather mediocre production, Heiliges Herz is a masterwork. The mixing is perfectly done, and every song sounds just as powerful as it should. Genre-wise, this opus has been called by its creator "Vegan Black Metal" - the first adjective being fully justified by the extremist vegan ideology pictured by the lyrics. Fans of the older Samsas Traum albums might find the new musical style too heavy, but let's bet songs like Auf Den Spiralnebeln and Liebeslied will please even them. Check it out!
