"Streben" is the denomination for a philosophic and literary ethic of German Romanticism and it means the spiritual tension derivated from the attempts of transcending reality's bonds. This word perfectly reflects the musical proposal of this duo, but at the same time is attinent to the general concept behind the project: escaping a dull reality to regain individuality in a more personal dimension.

Cristina Hagalaz, foundress and mastermind of the project, involved Valker (also in Cold Empire) during the first days of October, 2007; a few weeks later, the duo recruited Cold Empire’s drummer Dark Shadow as a guest musician. In may 2008, Streben released the first, home - recorded demo, entitled "...of Melancholic Elegies and Wanderlust", which is currently sold - out. In the meantime, Cristina keeps on devoting herself to the songwriting of new material in expectation of a possible further release; the new tracks, recorded between autumn 2008 and spring 2009, are going to be featured on the band's first full - lenght. A preview track can be heard on this profile.
