• Get Well Soon

Almost exactly seven years ago 'Vexations', the second album of GET WELL SOON, was released. It is the most opulent release of Konstantin Gropper to date and it already has been performed several times with a grand ensemble, a strings- and brass-section. So it kind of makes sense that the Nationaltheater Mannheim and Jan Dvorak, chief-dramaturg of the opera, chose this album to open their concert-series 'The Mannheim Concerts'. The idea: a full pop-album performed by a symphony-orchestra "only". After long and very thorough arrangement-work by Peter Häublein and Roman Vinuesa, a version of 'Vexations' for orchestra and voice.

• Eden Weint Im Grab

After a two-year production time the upcoming seventh studio album of Eden Weint Im Grab is being finetuned these days in Berlin based Winter Solitude studio. The title will be „Na(c)htodreise" and it is the first concept album of the German Dark Metal band. The 15 songs are like a journey through the hereafter and the underworld – just like the „Divina Commedia" by the Italian poet Dante Alighieri. Every song stands for a station on an imaginary afterworld map. According to the band the new album will be heavier than the previous records „Geysterstunde I" (2011) and „Geysterstunde II" (2014), but still with lots of musical surprises, a huge stylistic variety and a strong chamber music influence. „Na(c)htodreise" will be released via the German label Einheit Produktionen on March 31st 2017. Further details to be revealed soon!
