The piece will be played by a highly motivated 80-people student orchestra from Utrecht, along with other crossover pieces showing the influence of Wagner to this day in different genres.

Morean (all shows) and Linus (Koblenz & Utrecht) will join the venerable Utrecht Student Orchestra as soloists on stage.

Also, for the Wagner fans among you guys, there will be a spectacular performance of Das Rheingold the day before The Wagner Experience shows in every city.

Noneuclid signs with Blood Music

Press statement by Blood Music:

Blood Music proudly welcomes to it roster — the bizarre stylings of Noneuclid.

This underground “supergroup,” consists of key members from Obscura, Dark Fortress (Official), Triptykon (Official) (as well as a live member from Celtic Frost), playing indescribable compositions that fall somewhere in the realm of stone-faced thrash mixed with experimental progressive death metal.

We will be handling full release duties for the band’s incredibly long-awaited sophomore album “Metatheosis.” The album was finished in 2007 and didn’t find a home until now, 6 years later!

We view it as Slayer band on acid with heavy doses of monsters and outer space, and the band says of it: “It’s a condensed, multifaceted missile of hyperbolic extreme metal – utterly uncompromising, straight from the heart, and hopefully again a key to unlock very different doors into the psychic multiverse.”

Obscura 10 year anniversary tour

Alongside Sweden’s finest Death Metal band, AEON, we invited our friends in DEADBORN and promising newcomers OVER YOUR THRESHOLD for this journey of 9 shows in March 2013.” – Steffen Kummerer

Illegimitation

As one of the first bands in extreme metal, OSCBURA funded their record “Illegimitation” with the concept of crowd sourced capital.

“The feedback for this crowd funding project was immense and bigger than expected. We reached our financial goal within a few days and by now we can use almost five times the amount to realize this demo collection with the voice of our fans. In the end they where deciding if this collection of our very early demos and some new recordings of the current lineup will be made available or not and also in what extend.
In times of decreasing physical sales crowd funding is a new way for artists to release their music, videos or movies with crowd sourced capital on a independent but high profile level. This is the future for irrespective, stand-alone artists of all genres and we are glad to be part of the forward thinking movement with our own project.”

Steffen Kummerer

The collection, released in March 2012, includes ten never-before-heard tracks, including the band’s earliest recordings from 2003, unreleased songs from the Cosmogenesis sessions of 2006, and brand new cover songs with the newest line-up from 2011.

The record is available on CD/LP in the official Obscura web shop:

Transition Metal

An encounter of the unusual kind was offered on November 12th, 2010 by Sinfonietta Essenbach (a.k.a. Orchester des 13. Tons, conducted by Prof. Ulf Klausenitzer) and the progressive Death Metal band Noneuclid of the Bavarian-Dutch composer Florian Magnus Maier.

In addition to the “Rheinische” Symphony by Robert Schumann, Richard Wagner’s “Tannhäuser”-Overture and the final Death Metal set by Noneuclid, both the worlds of classical music and death metal, the music of Richard Wagner as well as Maier’s contemporary compositions, were presented in a double-headed interpretation. Classical orchestra and metal band dared enter the world of the other and met in works created especially for that night, crossing boundaries between styles that only seem to be mutually exclusive.

This new connection was born from the vast experience, dedication and knowledge which moved both Maier and Klausenitzer to collaborate, as well as from the need to offer new perspectives to the clichés and prejudice found in both genres. This encounter is unique in this form: the band Noneuclid tackled two of Wagner’s compositions, while Sinfonietta Essenbach interpreted one of Noneuclid’s death metal songs, and instead of a superficial potpourri of styles the artists strove to reach the musical essence inside this seemingly “alien” material when they met in the evening’s culmination, Maier’s “Altair Passage”, a new work scored for both ensembles together, commissioned and especially composed for this evening. The two groups shared the ambition to translate both symphonic music and death metal into the language of the other, searching for innovation on the discovered common territory, and want to prove that music is not limited to borders between styles, ages of target audiences.

The protagonists know what they are talking about:

Prof. Klausenitzer has been part of the Wagner Festival in Bayreuth for over 30 years (as concert master and board member), founded and led the Bavarian Chamber Orchestra for many years, and, through countless collaborations with composers like (among others) Stockhausen is intimately familiar with contemporary music. With his new orchestra, his ambition is to shed new light on classical traditions and find new ways to explore them.

Noneuclid, one of the few metal bands to employ true polyphony and genre-defying tonal and rhythmical complexity, performed contemporary classical music on metal instruments, among others with the renowned Dutch Metropole Orchestra (in Maier’s Death Metal Symphony “Black Vortex Cathedral”) and on The Hague-based contemporary music festival Dag in de Branding. Besides his long-running carreer as a metal musician, Florian Magnus Maier is one of the most prolific and successful young contemporary composers in the Netherlands, of which his steadily growing international profile is proof.

It has often been said that Richard Wagner’s music pioneered and anticipated the momentum and epic grandeur of late 20th-century music. Transition Metal was and is an ambitious collaboration in this very spirit – a pilot project with consequences.

Patrons:

Katharina Wagner – Director of the Wagner Festival, Bayreuth

Tom G. Warrior – living Metal legend and founder of highly influential bands Hellhammer, Celtic Frost and Triptykon

Dr. Wolfgang Heubisch – Bavarian State Secretary for Science, Research and the Arts
