Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating at the absolute peak of theatrical excess, 'Lichtgestalt' represents a masterful synthesis of grand symphonic metal and dark romanticism. The duo incorporates elaborate orchestration and unique talk-singing vocal techniques over a heavy gothic metal framework. It was extensively supported by a massive global tour, reinforcing their status as international ambassadors of the darkwave and gothic scenes.
