Austrian Neo-Folk/Experimental

This cd differs in various parts from its precursors:
Allerseelen, live having been for a long time with various
members performing in many cities in North America, Europe and
Russia, has been nevertheless in the studio almost a solo-
project by its founder Gerhard Hallstatt, assisted from time to
time by various guest musicians.
This has changed now, now Allerseelen is also in the studio a
real group with electronics, bass, electric guitar and drums.
On several pieces there are also contributions by two well-known
violinists from the world of neo-folk and folk metal.
Apart from Dimo Dimov who not only drums but also plays electric
guitar on some songs and the bassist Marcel P., Allerseelen this
time also features the two violinists Meri Tadic – from the
Swiss folk metal band Eluveitie – and Annabel Lee, the violinist
of theAmerican formation Blood Axis.
Still it is not easy to describe the style of Allerseelen -
everything moves and flows in a field of force between
industrial, metal, folklore and pop.
On Rauhe Schale there are various songs with a powerful metal
atmosphere with electronic, industrial recordings – some minutes
later one may discover again a song that sounds more like dark
pop. Gerhard Hallstatt sometimes describes his music as
Electronic Folklore or Apocalyptic Rock.
Rauhe Schale sounds like its title – the music is rough, tough,
hard like already the last album Hallstatt that received
enthusiastic feedback due to its fascinating combination of
electronic beats and strings and some compositions reminding in
some way of Black Metal.The songs were inspired by various
magical mystery tours in Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece,
Italy and Slovenia.
