One year has passed since the Austrian / south Bavarian Alpin-Folk formation
Sturmpercht released their last 7". finally now here is their long awaited new
album! "Geister im Waldgebirg" is a journey through the deepest central-European
forests and mountains with all their strange creatures, fairies, myths and
legends.
the sounds and lyrics on this album are engrained in old pagan rites and
cults, in hunters-legends and in tales from darkest woods and the people living
there. the songstyles vary from powerful Martial-Folk hymns, over fragile
Folk-balads, to weird songs about strange people and creepy animals. several
great artists supported Sturmpercht in the making of this album: first af all
Axel from WERKRAUM, who is a basic Sturmpercht-member since quite a while now.
it's Axels perfect guitar- and flute playing and his skillful hands in mixing,
that the Folk-songs have this brilliant late 60ies/early 70ies touch now. the
close Sturmpercht-friends ALLERSEELEN, SANGRE CAVALLUM and WALDTEUFEL have also
recorded fantastic songs especially for this album. Allerseelen and Sangre
Cavallum also contributed several sounds from their large archives and
Waldteufel additionally gave his voice for "Riesenbrüder". Sturmpercht is the
only Folk-band, who created their own music style named "ALPIN-FOLK", which is
absolutely unique up to now. anyway if you prefer straight or weird Folk: there
is no way around this album for all kinds of Folk-Lovers. this album will be
your closest friend in dark and frosty winter nights!
