In TOTENGEFL?STER, elaborate orchestral arrangements with a soundtrack character, such as choral opulence, meet flamboyant riffs of the beat dissections and poetic texts bar of the gay on a muddy attitude. Here you can not hear a pseudo-classical pop dance with plastic sound, which could not be realized on the stage. In the case of "In the Mist of Transience", Andy Classen, whose mixing and mastering give the songs exactly the metallic sound they deserve. In the tenth year of the existence of his project TOTENGEFL?STER, which has become a band, Simon Bossert, also known as Totleben, makes nails with heads: "In the Mist of Transience", is the second album of the Baden-W?rttemberger. With the specially founded label Pale Essence Music. In order to be able to assert the high demands on the project, he also has a lot to show, not least the "Die Seelensterben" ("The Seelensterben"), which was financed in its own right in 2014 and attracted excellent reviews as well as interviews in the international online and print presses. The group's long-standing cast for the group finally made it possible to make concerts that fit Totleben's concept of a metal band in the true sense of the word. This is not self-evident, especially when it comes to symphonic black metal, in the age of shirt-sleeved home productions and solos, who feel themselves called to great art. However, Totleben never ran the risk of being surrounded by gothic kitsch in an ivory tower, but has always understood his work holistically. This is especially true of his work under the banner of Metal Artworks, where he takes care of the visual component of his colleagues such as Imperium Dekadenz or Keep Of Kalessin - as if the lovingly staged Artbook on "From Seelensterben" and impressive video clips are not already proof enough , TOTENGEFL?STER actually made their live debut in the cradle of the genre itself during the "Beermageddon" festival in Birmingham due to the high popularity from the UK. The furious show followed in Germany (among others with Unlight, Negator and Ice), and you will soon return to England for a three-day Minitournee. The signs stand on storm - ice cold like a wagner's voyage through Scandinavia.
