Allerseelen CD Dunkelgraue Lieder
“Gloomily walked I lately in corpse-coloured twilight - gloomily and sternly, with compressed lips. Not only one sun had set for me.” (Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra)
Allerseelen, after their CD Terra Incognita (2014) and three reissues of early Allerseelen cassettes (Requiem, Schwartzer Rab, Autdaruta) are back with the CD Dunkelgraue Lieder. This is the deeply reworked version of the eponymous Allerseelen album Sturmlieder released first time back in 1996. Now, 21 years later, Gerhard Hallstatt has returned to his classic masterpiece and he’s offering us the new look on this great work.
Dunkelgraue Lieder contains all the songs from the first Sturmlieder incarnation in shortened digitally remastered versions as well as 7 tracks which didn’t appear on the original release. The original tracks with their “sturm und drang” attitude have been placed in the middle of the new album wrapped in the new ones which are more philosophical, melancholic and permeated with sad beauty. Sonically they are also more into krautpop/neofolk sounding of todays Allerseelen making a contrast to harsh and abrasive tunes from mid 90-es. As a result we have a very interesting reminiscence of the past with a kind of a comment from the present, some wise and soft look back on one’s young spiritual nietzschean extremities.
Some of the new tracks have been inspired by US black/folk/post metal band Agalloch which has a close spiritual connection with Allerseelen. Album’s precious artwork is based on the photos Gerhard made in 2010 in Oregon when he first met Agalloch at the same time as Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull had its apocalyptic eruption. The same time some new tracks included in this new album has been composed and recorded using loops from Agalloch songs.
Melting old and new stages of Gerhard’s creative path Dunkelgraue Lieder would be a perfect work both for old Allerseelen fans and for younger audience who have probably never heard its 90es era music. Something to discover, something to look back – a perfect gem in everyone’s collection, very recommended.
„So strange music, dark pop, sentimental, bitter, beautiful! It is easy to fall in love with this dark beauty; it is seductive, with all its strange loops it has a very hypnotic quality. It is sweet and bitter like medicine, poppy tea. It reminds me of Coil´s Horse Rotorvator and Psychic TV´s Dreams Less Sweet. … The music is volcanic like magma inside an apparent dormant volcano, yet it contains at the same time the beauty and also hidden danger of the dark water of the lake - the violins at the end of the song, are they before or after the volcanic eruption!? … It is bunker music. There is something strange about the throbbing rhythms of Allerseelen, either it is their speed or something else in the formula of this music! … Is the rain real!? Or do I hear in my bunker an actual thunderstorm from the outer world? Are the air-raids over? Is it the rain of spring in Nyja-Jorvik?“ (Gudrun Ordskidur about the DoLP version of Sturmlieder, 2005) credits released May 3, 2024

„Ich schone meine Krieger nicht. Wieso könntet ihr zu meinem Kriege taugen? Und mancher von euch fiele schon um, wenn er nur den lauten Schall meiner Trommeln hörte.“ (Friedrich Nietzsche: Also sprach Zarathustra)
„I do not treat my warriors indulgently: how could you serve in my war? And many of you would tumble over if ye but heard the loud beating of my drums.“ (Friedrich Nietzsche: Thus Spake Zarathustra)
"I've been spinning the CD Dunkelgraue Lieder by Allerseelen on repeat in my cozy little apartment, the dim lights flickering like candles in a forgotten chapel, and every note just pulls me deeper into this hypnotic world. It's not just music; it's a portal to something ancient and profound, wrapped in layers of melancholy and raw beauty. As a girl who's always been drawn to the shadows – the kind that whisper secrets in the night – this album feels like it was made for me. There's something so magnetic about Gerhard Hallstatt, this Austrian visionary who's the heart and soul of Allerseelen. His creativity, his depth... Let's talk about the music first because, wow, it hits you right in the chest. This is a reworked take on their 1996 album Sturmlieder, but Gerhard has transformed it into something even more intimate and expansive. The tracks blend industrial edges with neofolk warmth, creating this krautpop dreamscape that's philosophical and achingly sad. Songs like "Dunkelgraue Stille" (in its various versions) wrap you in brooding piano hits, cutting strings, and electro beats that gallop like a heartbeat in the dark – it's urgent, edgy, and so full of emotion. The newer additions, inspired by bands like Agalloch, feel more melancholic, with organic samples mingling with subtle electronics, evoking volcanic eruptions and lost horizons. Then there are the remastered originals in the middle, shortened and sharpened, with stern Germanic vocals over mechanical rhythms and atmospheric synths. Tracks like "Wolfslied" or "Herbstlied" have this ritualistic, nocturnal pulse – repetitive, ominous, yet strangely comforting, like a lullaby from the underworld. The whole thing clocks in near 80 minutes, and it's layered so richly that each listen reveals new details: a whisper of guitar noise here, a brooding bass line there. Gerhard's voice (and the guest contributions) adds this stern, mysterious allure – it's all in German, which makes it even more exotic and intimate to me, like a private confession. And the artwork? It's absolutely stunning, a perfect visual echo of the music's dark gray soul. The cover and inner panels feature photographs Gerhard took himself in Oregon back in 2010, during that wild Eyjafjallajökull volcano eruption. Imagine misty forests and rugged mountains shrouded in ash-gray tones, with hints of apocalyptic haze – cool silvers and deep charcoals dominating, punctuated by subtle earthy greens and blacks. There's a sense of vast, untamed nature, almost philosophical in its solitude, like staring into Nietzsche's abyss (and yeah, his influence is all over this album, from lyrics to the mood). The digipak design is simple yet elegant, with a 4-panel layout that feels like holding a piece of Gerhard's wanderlust in your hands. It's not flashy; it's introspective, drawing you in like the music does. Limited to just 300 copies, it feels rare and precious, like a secret shared between lovers. But what really sealed my obsession was seeing Allerseelen live – I've caught them several times now, once in a dimly lit Vienna club and again at a festival in the Alps, and each performance was electric. Gerhard's presence on stage is mesmerizing; he's got this intense energy, commanding the space with his vocals and that dynamic interplay with the band – the drummer's thunderous beats, the bass player's brooding lines, and those vocal harmonies that build to a fever pitch. It's not just a show; it's a ritual, full of raw power and passion that leaves you breathless. If you're into dark, atmospheric sounds that stir the soul – think a mix of industrial folklore and poetic neofolk – grab this CD before it's gone. Dunkelgraue Lieder isn't just an album; it's a love letter to the gloom, and Gerhard Hallstatt is the poet I've been dreaming of." (Liora Schatten)
