Biography
Welcome to a world of myths, legends and magical moments. The band WinterDome, founded in 1996, forges with its concept album a link between deeply stirring Gothic Metal, driving Medieval Rock and a gripping, yearning, and melancholic fantasy tale.
The release of the Hanoverians first 4 track EP 'Moravian or a gods dawn' in 1997 was closely followed by appearances in venues such as the Wave-Gotik-Treffen, or on the supporting bill of In Extremo, gathering ample live experience. In 2003 the band decided to give a new form to their stage and music concept, and so after much effort and painstaking attention to detail the brilliant synthesis of 'Weltendämmerung' (Twilight of the world) emerged. Together with the narrator, Dr. Bernd Seestaedt, the tragic tale about the people of the Elasaj opens up a gateway to a different, as yet undisclosed world. The events taking place around the heroic main character, Ashaj, grow during the 70 minute long spectacle into an intoxicating mixture of battle clashes and dreamy moments of individual protagonists.
Numerous concerts taking place in early 2006 gave confirmation to the musical and visual large-scale project in its uniqueness: The response by both audiences and the promoters was overwhelming.
The atmospheric songs, which in places are reminiscent of My Dying Bride, Haggard or the old Paradise Lost, are certain to fascinate Metal and Gothic fans as well as fans of Fantasy and Live Role games.
