Allerseelen

The Austrian group Allerseelen have been active and innovative in the industrial and apocalyptic folk genre for many years. Their CDs and 7" editions have been issued on Aorta and their double-LP editions on Ahnstern. Allerseelen is a unique combination of industrial and folkloristic elements, and "Industrial Folklore" might be an appropriate expression to embrace these seemingly contradictory qualities. Allerseelen have performed in many European countries as well as in North America and Russia. On stage, the songs quite often manifest very differently from the studio versions. The dynamic stage presence of one or two martial drummers, the psychoactive bass player, and the front man all contribute toward a unique mood of "Apocalyptic Krautfolk" for these live performances.
