Traumhaus - Die Andere Seite 2008 (Germany, Symphonic Prog)

TRAUMHAUS is a German group that evolved out of a mid 90s outfit called ZWEEBACK. The group's name translates to "House of Dreams" and their music combines hard rock with a healthy helping of atmospherics. While the style looks back to many German bands of the 70s and 80s, their use of angular melodies and their native tongue draws valid comparisons to one in particular, ANYONE'S DAUGHTER. NOVALIS and GROBSCHNITT might be other reference points, although TRAUMHAUS is somewhat more rhythmic. The band consisted of Frank Woidich - Organ, Synthesizer, Backing Vocals, Bernhard Selbach - Guitars, Backing Vocals, Bass Pedals, Michael Dorniak - Backing Vocals, Bass, Drums, Alexander Weyland - Vocals, Synthesizer, Piano and Nina Weyland - Guest Vocals.

Up until now they have only one release, their self titled 2001 debut. It consists of 8 songs over 5 minutes long, one of which is an 18 minute epic.

With the understanding that the band's sound had not yet fully developed on their first album, and future releases seem more and more doubtful, TRAUMHAUS is recommended to those who like German progressive rock with heavy guitars and bass balanced by symphonic keyboards.

Via Obscura - Traum 2009 (Germany, Symphonic Prog)

It was the year 2004, when the gifted vocalist and Keyboard player Anne-S. Thinius; the guitarist, drummer, pianist and orchestra arranger Alexander Thinius and the bassist André Manke joined in Germany to form VIA OBSCURA, a band dedicated to create experimental 70's inspired music with special emphasis in Goth, Jazz, and Heavy Metal with Symphonic and classical structure.

As many other bands like MIRANDA SEX GARDEN and DEAD CAN DANCE who were originally labeled as Goth, they exceeded the parameters of Gothic Rock and sounded more comfortable in Symphonic territory, of course their obvious classical formation and the operatic voice of Anne helped a lot to the evolution of the band.

Originally VIA OBSCURA was formed as an improvisation project, but things got out of hand (something common when you are good enough), and in six months they were playing in front of an audience as a formal band.

After participating in several samplers, VIA OBSCURA releases their first studio albums called "Traum" in 2009, and it's really impressive. They manage to blend the drama of Gothic Rock not only with the energy of Heavy Metal but also with the delicacy of Symphonic Prog, enhanced by the wonderful voice of Anne and the marvelous performance of all the band members.

Still I'm not sure of this is a pure Symphonic album, band honestly don't care, being that the music is breathtaking and the classical elements are enough to be loved by all the fans of the genre.

I just hope they give us a second album soon, which I'll be waiting with impatience.
