Influences
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. The most recent releases of Allerseelen were the CD Hallstatt, the double-LPs Gotos=Kalanda and Cruor as well as the Allerseelen / Sangre Cavallum split CD Barco do Vinho (Ahnstern) and the Allerseelen / Changes split CD Men among the Ruins (Ewers Tonkunst). 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 the martial drummer Dimo of Svarrogh, the dynamic bass player Marcel of Werra, and the front man Gerhard all contribute toward a unique mood of "Apocalyptic Krautfolk" for these live performances.

"Allerseelen have reached a unique point with their "industrial folklore" songs; a highly individual sound drawing on elements of folk, industrial, pop.. that are combined thorough some highly evolved sampling."
http://www.compulsiononline.com/index2.htm
"The choice of poetry and quality of music here are impeccable."
http://www.lunar-hypnosis.com/
"Allerseelen represent a standard of excellence that is almost unheard of in the world today. The music of Gerhard is, by intent and effect, a spiritual experience. If you have ever doubted the ability of art to destroy and re-create those who will let themselves be touched by it, immerse yourself obsessively in his work, and see who you are when you come out the other side."

Que fotografias tan bonitas...añoro el campo, la niebla y la humedad..y Galicia e Italia.. Estoy deseando conocer mejor los Alpes..pase en avion por encima cuando fui a Suiza, quiza nos vimos!!! :) Voy a Munich 5 dias, y antes creo que tendre camara nueva.. Besos!

Oh, that pleases me dearly, Gerhard! Srečko Kosovel is one of my favourite poets as well. Isn't it tragic and kind of romantic that he died at only 22, and his poetry so phenomenal for such young age... ?
I do find Soča Valley the most beautiful part of Slovenia.
Thank you for the obscure glimpse of Italian Julian Alps.
