2009 - This year marks the foundation of the north german five-member Metal outfit black elegy holding high the flags of crushing Death Metal, symphonic Goth Metal and melancholic Doom Metal. This versatile mixture, enriched with lots of thrilling melodies and a variety of influences from all over the Metal camp, can be heard on the band‘s latest output :

Deconstruct : Reconstruct

The three songs of this MCD come up with a total playing time of over 27 minutes. 27 minutes to make exactly clear what‘s what.

Walking down memory lane… In early 2009 the founding members Tjark Eisfeld, Jan Timm & Fabian Schmidt (Storm Of Sorrows) teamed up with Ann-Kristin Kostyal (Accid Reign) who contributed a tempting note with her vocal performance... and David "Thorfried" Voigt (Lungorthin, Defrakt, Storm Of Sorrows, ex-Negator, ex-Sanguineus) on drums.

In July 2009, experienced producer Eike Freese (Dark Age) took charge of the recordings in the halls of the Eikey Studio in Hamburg and one thing‘s clear: he really knows how to put a record straight !

The moody, yet indicting and striking artwork was made by Fabian (www.sourcepulse.biz) and fits the lyrical concept of the MCD: the perversion and manipulation of moral/ethic values in the cloke of religion !

...The story continues... The band‘s currently completing a live-lineup to perform onstage soon and writing new material for the upcoming, yet untitled full length album. Stay tuned !
