Liste des groupes Metal Gothique Von Branden Scherben

Von Branden give us with they first full lenght album "Scherben" a cold and darkest work. If I have to describe a movie, I would say it is a drama. If you hear the CD more than one only (what is for this Album compulsory, then you can't all discover what is the facination if you hear only one)then will determine that the music is good for a soundtrack for a drama. As metal the whole is hard to discribe. Here although come before metal guitars riffs but the silent parts with cello, piano and saxophone dominate the cd. If I must to define a genre then I have to invent new one. This album has only not progressive character but also black metal and classic or rock and pop. So is the oppener "Behind the Rain" a atmospheric(but not to be confused with boombast) black metal song with cello. The titel track "Scherben" however is a silent piece with beautiful sad and dark sounds. Here creates the saxophone a mood of you can not escape. In the place „…geben, nehmen, du und ich…ich bin dein Schatten du mein Licht…“ reminds the voice a little to Joachim Witt. If the singer the completely song had sung with this voice I liked even better. Nevertheless is the song a highlight to the album.
Or „Bitter Lies In Pure Dismay“, this is a short piece instrumental which on the end a electronically changing voice has. The leadership of the melody remembers something to Placebo and the piece can taken good and gladly as a transition to the next act of a theatre pieces. My favorit on the cd is „Zwischen Welten“, this track has a beautiful guitar wall and the voice has a many nice sound. To end give us von Branden still a surprise with a Tori Amos Cover „Winter“, this is the band managed well and fits perfectly into the album.

Conclusion: Von Branden give us an album to discover what it is. Each the here risked an ear, saying: don't hear only but explore. Here was, in my opinion, much emphasis on atmosphere and mood laid and a bleak and cold work manufactured. "Solarian von Branden" describes the way: "von Branden are (for us) deep, pure emotion in the musical form. If words are no longer sufficient to thoughts and emotions to convey, we embed them in music“. I think it is very good expressed. 7,5/10 Points
