Influences
Nature, the past, the present, the future, Anatol`s Garden, myth and legend, pirate movies, social drugs and long, sleepless nights, Folk music especially from Europe, the outstanding performance group "Minnesang aus Ferne Land", our roots, our thoughts, our dreams, chaos, cute furry animals, too many things to mention...
Lapis Serpentis, enchanting Voices, ancient Instruments and the rich cultural influence of medieval Europe, lead you the way in a long lost world of myth and magic.
This young Band revives century old melodies, composes music inspired by living traditions and transforms well known songs into very own interpretations. Archaic tunes and modern arrangments let you dream, dance or drift into a magical world.
Discover nearly lost ethnic instruments, like the moldavian overtone flute Tilinko, or the Bagpipe, used by Shepherds in Middle Europe for centuries.
Founded in 2001, the band performed on various occasions in Middle Europe and recorded two Longplayers, Lapis in Signo Serpentis (2004) and Am Kreuzweg (2006)
Explaining "Nacht Folk":
When you travel the Alps you will stumble across loads of legends, one of them is the "Nachtvolk" or in English the "Night - Folk": One day a poor shepherder lost his way after nightfall and stumbled helplessly in the dark. Suddenly he heard wonderful but strangely bewitched music. Bewildered he followed the tunes, carried by the wind, and soon came to an old shack illuminated by a gloomy light. There he watched in horror goblins, dwarves, witches and creatures of myth and legend dancing and feasting - he stumbled across the Night - Folk! Before he was able to flee, the Night Folk discoverded him peering through the window. With yelling and cheering, they grabbed the poor shepherder, and led him in the midst of their dance. So the nightmarish feast went on, til the first sun beams reached the shack. Suddenly the Night Folk disappeard and the Shepherder was left alone, not really realizing what has happended to him. When he made his way back into his village, he tried to calm himself by playing his fiddle. As he stroke the bow, the most wonderful music ever heard in the valley filled the air. This was the gift the Night Folk gave to him, the poor shepherder became the finest musician in his valley. For the rest of his life he searched for the Night Folk, but never found them again.
Lapis Serpentis call their music Nacht Folk inspired by this legend and maybe they have lost their way too some day, during a long hike in the mountains...
£leTriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs makes its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check £leTriKa out!
Hugs from Brazil, Claudio David

As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead.
A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now.
In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance.
Hello!!! We've had a fantastic time on tour in Europe this year and we're now recording our new album in Berlin (scheduled for release in March).
But for now here's a big (and silly) Fröhliche Weihnachten! from us (and from some hippos too) - this is what happens when you let some hippos loose with your guitar fuzz pedals and analogue synths :

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?
