Spielbann - Wiedergänger

With their concept album ‘In Gedenken’, which was enthusiastically received by critics and fans alike, still reverberating, SPIELBANN prove that they can be counted among those restless spirits who are much too busy to just rest on their laurels.

To a great extent, this is due to the vocal performance, which will come to set new standards within the scene. In Seb Storm and his female counterpart Nic Frost, two voices have found each other that could not harmonise with each other better. Their voices radiate a quite unique energy; not just on stage but also on their studio albums.

For the ‘Wiedergänger’ CD, the singers posed themselves a very special challenge: in order to push their stage personas to their very limits, Nic and Seb slipped into the role of their respective vocal counterpart. In doing so, they have succeeded in eliciting completely new facets from two absolutely outstanding pieces from the In Gedenken stories. With the question, “What if…” on their lips, they each sought out the other’s most stirring solo piece and then, with great dedication, produced their own reinterpretation of the story. An elaborately recorded new version of a classic SPIELBANN track from 2006 and a gripping piano version of the morbid masterpiece ‘Haus des Vergessens’ round off the ‘Wiedergänger’ collection.

The artwork seamlessly complements the visual world of In Gedenken, because Wiedergänger is an absolutely indispensable component of this great collection of emotional rollercoasters/ghost train rides.
