Indubstrial Techno Experimentalist Johan continues to deliver some of the best storytelling dungeon synth and black metal. Galgenberg is another outstanding medieval fantasy soundtrack to every unique story that our imagination brings to life. Highly recommend! Favorite track: Galgenberg (German lyrics).

feth Galgenberg gives a paradoxical glimpse of things both seen and unseen, balanced on a flint edge that skilfully cuts both human flesh and the fabric of space, letting the quintessence of the liminal realm pass through. It is something not easily grasped--like the precious life-blood mixed with honey. This is an experience to be imbibed thoughtfully, not forcefully. Once spilled it may be lost to the yawning abyss, requiring great skill if it is to be successfully recovered. Favorite track: Cleft In The Mist.

Verses: Schaudernd verharrt er, bloß sein Ende in Sicht. Keinen Deut vor sich, lugt er nur zurück. Manches ungesprochen, etlich ungetan. Des ander'n Maske ist ein hallender Schlund. Die feste Schlinge umarmt seinen Hals. Ein greiser Ast - so kahl -, er ächzt. Letzter Hauch entwichen, der längst hineingesaugt. Es ist das alte Richten mit trock'ner Hand. Nach urteil'nden Blicken ein jeder sucht. Einer vergisst den Plan, ein anderer entwirft. Rasch wird man wägen, wer der nächste ist, der dort hängen wird am Galgenberg. Chorus: Die Raben krächzen hungrig. Vom Regen klamm wird der Leib. Bis er irgendwann verscharrt wird, hängt er lang. Er ist das klägliche Mahnmal. Der Wand'rer erschrickt vor der Statt. Freund und Feind wiegt sich das Leben. Angstschweiß rinnt, wenn man ihn schaut. Galgenberg.

Verses: Nagend an den Wurzeln einer schwindenden Welt wühlt seine schuppige Gestalt, von Schlangen umschwärmt, zwischen kalten Körpern entseelter Sterblicher. Er kaut an der Essenz des Weltgebäudes. In seiner Kehle gurgelt süß das Blut von Mördern und Eidbrechern. Sein Odem sind Nebelschwaden. Er existiert überall und in allem. Schlafend, lauernd, unbezwingbar. Dröhnt einem sein Grollen, kauernd inmitten brodelnder Sümpfe, betritt man sein Reich und Knochenschwingen tragen hinüber ans Ende aller Zeit. Chorus: Leichenfresser, Knochenbeißer, hasserfüllter Totendrache.

about

Open your mind, and discover cracks in the fabric of our world. Those cracks allow us a glimpse into another sphere. And the afterlife.

"Galgenberg" (Gallows Hill) focuses on contacts with other worlds - including those experiences that are forced. We travel through a misty FIELD OF STONES, remembering us on all the people that already crossed the world-separating river. We travel, dangerously, on a MOUNTAIN RIDGE, high above the mortal world, only a step away from nothingness. We listen to the WHISPERING SPIRITS, whose voices can be heard only in our minds. We suffer with the doomed souls that are pushed to the GALGENBERG (German for GALLOWS HILL), and face the invincible, personified death itself - a horrible creature, a TOTENDRACHE (German for DEATH DRAGON), lurking beneath the roots of the world. But eventually, we get a glimpse on other spheres on a rainy day around a foggy lake, when a CLEFT IN THE MIST gifts us a moment of relief, an experience beyond mortal existence.

The search for a glimpse into another sphere comes with a certain state of mind. That's why I wanted to let the material reflect the scars ans bruises which we encounter during life, and which form our being. The acoustic material therefore wears scratches, rush, noise and muffled passages that cross the border exactly there, where a damaged soul dives into unknown waters.
