'Morgenroede' brings norwegian Black Metal to Uster
Submitted by archimedes on 21. March 2009 - 7:22.
You asked for more Black Metal – here you go! The Elements of Rock Festival could win the ambitious "Extreme Metal Band" Morgenroede from the homeland of dark Metal for a Gig at EoR 09 at the Ascension weekend.
Although Morgenroede is not very established yet, they can tip the scales by the fact that their frontman Ronny Hansen was the famous singer of the sadly disbanded cult bands Vaakevandring and Antestor.
Morgenroede started as Symphonic Black Metal band. But whoever just expects common standard sound from the vocals, two guitars, bass, synth and drums is mistaken. By using 7-cord guitars and several experiments with vocals and other arrangements, Morgenroede pushes the sound without forgetting their roots.
Look forward to a fierce, nordic Black Metal tempest!!!

My expectations were rather
My expectations were rather high, and I wondered whether they could transform any of their earlier work to the acoustic setup they use on tour. After Valnes left the band, Eviga was basically the sole member. In 2004, Inves (violin) joined as a full member, but without any additional tour musicians, this reduces Dornenreich to one acoustic guitar, foot percussion and one violin. No drums, no electric guitar, no second vocalist. Before I say too much about the concert, though, something about the venue. Dornenreich played at the Rock-City in Uster. What a cute little place! It’s a small rock/metal bar built into something that I assume must have been an underground warehouse. testking 646-976 “Backstage” doesn’t really exist here, the musicians just walk off the stage to the side, into the back area of the bar. There’s space for maybe 100 units of audience, if you count the ones sitting on bar stools here and there, with no view of the band. Between bar and band, there’s space for five rows of people perhaps 10 wide. Didn’t I say it’s cute? :)
But back to the music. They did a wonderful job performing their material, also playing four songs from the upcoming album “In Luft geritzt”. The new stuff sounds very violin heavy, and all of these pieces were instrumentals. The encore was particularly riveting, with its powerful crescendos and the cat-and-mouse chase of violin and guitar. I am very much looking forward to this album. testking XK0-002 The rest of the material was a mix between stuff from “Hexenwind” and “Her von welken Nächten”. Unfortunately, some of the songs (like “Der Hexe flammend’ Blick”) lost a lot of power due to the lack of proper drums and guitars. I’m not sure if we can blame it solely on the band, though. They did try their best, but some of Dornenreich’s songs consist of 70% silence dotted with playful melancholy, and they need a quiet atmosphere to really work. This message hadn’t quite arrived in the brains of the audience yet — many of the people in the rear were cheerfully talking and yelling with absolutely no respect for the part of the audience who had come there to actually listen to a concert. testking 70-553 And for those who waited outside in the cold hoping to still fetch a ticket for the totally sold out event, it was an insult.
