Very complicated, orchestral doom with many different instruments, for example, a lute. The music is slow, melodic and the tracks are *very* long but never boring.

Estatic Fear is an Austrian gothic doom band, combining classical arrangements, medieval music and metal elements in their music. The main member of Estatic Fear is Matthias Kogler. Albums are released through CCP Records.
The band was formed in 1994 in Austria.
In 1995, Estatic Fear took part in one-hour compilation "Exit", produced by Martin Auzinger and Peter Kern, together with bands Coffee & Cream, Mortus, Born In The Bottle, Bereavement, Nochtschicht, Herb, Dystrophy, Still No Name, Out Of Cage.
In 1996, the band signed up with CCP Records and released CD Somnium Obmutum, produced by Claus Prellinger. Moody, melancholic doom-metal is combined with orchestral arrangements on piano and cello and authentic instruments like a lute, flute and acoustic guitars. Music and lyrics were written by all the members in collaboration.
For the first album, band's lineup was:
Matthias Kogler also known as Calix Miseriae - guitar, acoustic guitar and piano
Astaroth - drums
Markus Miesbauer also known as Beowulf bass, vocals
Stauff
In 1999, A Sombre Dance is released. By this, all members except Matthias Kogler quit the band. Music and lyrics are written solely by Kogler and themes delve more into medieval.

Thomas Hirtenkauf vocals

Klaus Kogler, who also participated in the creation of Tsiegen Foot Music's 1981 album "No Wave"0", is Matthias' father. Tom "Thomson" and Jurgen are both members of the band Mortus since 1994. Layout and design for A Sombre Dance are created by Gunther Feichtinger.
