Nebelung

Bio:

Nebelung is the ancient german name for november, the month of melancholy and herald of forthcoming winter. It is at this time of the year – when the last leaves have fallen and the land lies bare and bleak –, when man has to let go his weapons and confess his weakness towards the omnipotence of nature. It is the time of coming home, embracing the beloved ones and drawing nearer to the fire. For those, who wander lonely through the nights, it is the time of introspectiveness, sorrow and despair. With their music, Nebelung capture these feelings, mirroring in autumn rain and winter nights.

Nebelung as a project was born in the autumn of 2004. Still its roots lead further back to a fullmoon Beltane night in the year of 1999, when Stefan and Thomas were wandering the forests around the Brocken in the german mountains of the Harz. In this night the woods revealed their stunning beauty and gave rise to a higher mystical understanding of man and nature. It is this spirituality, which inspires Nebelung to their lyrics and musical lines - dreaming deeper into woods and silence.
