Gothminister

Est.1999. Since the release of his debut ‘Gothic Electronic Anthems’ in 2003, Gothminister Bjørn Alexander Brem has captured the listeners with his hymns of pitch-black magic. Dark shudders, deep lead vocals and thrilling craft of composing within the marrow of Gothic, Industrial-Metal and Electro have become his trademarks ever since. Driving sequences lead into compelling verses which are soon countered by harsh metalriffs. Finally the listener gets subdued by an overwhelming combination of catchiness, denseness and heavenly choirs.” (Myk Jung) His 2 new albums «Pandemonium I+II» mixed by Henning Verlage (Unheilig, Eisbrecher), are long awaited powerhouses which exceeds the even highest expectations. Powerful, heavily downtuned metal riffs march relentlessly arm in arm with huge orchestras and heavenly choirs. The Master himself reveals an astonishing range of vocal-art: from the deepest Gothic dungeons up to the higher spheres of steaming Rock. The title track of the new album, "Pandemonium", takes us back to the new gothic era around 1880 AC, where we find the city and kingdom of Gothminister under attack from its own inhabitants. The old, mighty and evil king, played by Gothminister himself, faces chaos and uproar among his own. But be careful what you wish for. «He who fights monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster. And if thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will gaze into the.» (Friedrich Nietzche) The king is dead. Long live the king!
