THE TRANSFORMATIVE QUALITY OF A CONCERT...
February 7, 2025


...has always cast its spell on me.

MActually, ever since – not live but via VHS cassette – I discovered Tori Amos on her piano. I was mesmerized. What I was about to experience was a level of musicality, intensity, playfulness, presence and gripping emotional immediacy that – in retrospect – was the most defining experience that I made as a young musician when it comes to my perception of central qualities of a concert.

When a concert really takes off - in the playing, deep within all the attendants - this shared moment may fully come into its own and may take full effect regarding a deeply transformative and invigorating quality.

That's what - even through a screen - Tori Amos made me perceive many, many years ago and I am fulfilled each and every time when I feel for a blink of an eye that a spark of the inspiration I once experienced lives on whenever we play and put everything in the balance at this very moment on stage – our pure human being in word, sound and personal presence.

And we will do so once again real soon:

BIOGRAPHY


DORNENREICH - intense - mystic - timeless


short version long version


Founded in 1996, Dornenreich have proved a recipe for uniquely intense music, expressive German lyrics, and a charismatic presence on stage for more than 25 years now.

After years of extensive production phases in the studio, after years filled with concerts and tours, after chart positions and an Impala Silver Award for over 20,000 copies of their third album sold all over Europe, Dornenreich took a break in 2014 — with the release of their eight studio record "Freiheit" in the eighteenth year of their history, they deliberately withdrew in order to renew their perspectives in the light of more sophisticated constellations and to continue on their very own path.

While that didn’t mean the Austrians didn’t give a lot of celebrated concerts across Europe after 2014, it took them more than seven years to come forth with a new studio album.

The year 2021 — which also marked the 20th anniversary of "Her von welken Nächten," the record that put Dornenreich on the map as one of the most defining and unconventional acts amongst German-language metal and folk bands — saw Dornenreich return with their ninth studio album, "Du wilde Liebe sei". With this genre-defying record released in their 25th year of existence (official German charts #31), they have impressively proven that they feel obliged to the nature of life and a radical understanding of art exclusively.

With their inimitable emotional force, their momentum and unpredictability, Dornenreich embody the paragon of an exciting and independent-minded band, and with their symbolist as well as confrontative criticism of self and civilisation, they harbour within them a depth and an explosiveness that have no rivals.
