Samsas Traum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Samsas Traum is an Avantgarde band from Germany, fronted by Alexander Kaschte. Their music consists of elements of Industrial, black metal, Gothic and neoclassical music. Samsas Traum started in 1996 when Alexander released his first solo-tape. Three years later the solo-project became a Terzett, and their official debut "Die Liebe Gottes - Eine märchenhafte black metal Operette" [Trans.: "The Love of God - a black metal fairytale Opera"] made most Industrial fans take notice with brilliant Industrial rock sound with Classical music. The follow up appeared in 2000 with the more sophomore "O Luna mein" [Trans.: "O, Luna mine"]; was a musically matured and varied album of more polished arrangements, balanced instrumentation and beautiful choir-parts. In this time Alexander went on to create his darker alter-ego Weena Morloch, which was more noise music based, and included samples from horror movies. Many more Sasmas Traum have been released each year, with more Industrial/Classical arrangements.
