STANDARTE

Standarte is my new album , blending alternative rock, melodic heaviness and atmospheric soundscapes into a deeply personal body of work. Shaped by international collaborations and my own musical history, the album moves between quiet melancholy and powerful, guitar-driven intensity.
Mixed at Dublin’s Hellfire Studio, Standarte reflects themes of identity, change and reflection, a record that looks both backward and forward while remaining unmistakably present.

My recording with the great actor Sir Christopher Lee 
re released to mark the 10th anniversary of his passing (in 2025). 

‘Elenore’ is a lyrical interpretation of the poem ‘The Raven’ by Edgar Allan Poe.

MOONSTRUCK
Next to the completely new recorded edition of "Age of Darkness" you can hear 13 tracks on "Moonstruck", with the exception of an independent interpretation of „The Kill“ (30 Seconds to Mars) all own compositions, which offer a musical crossover of harder Rock and Gothic: heavy guitar riffs, sweat-inducing drumbeats with catchy melodies, paired with melancholic lyrics in duet singing of the front people Kirstin and Damien. — EMP
