Dornenreich
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dornenreich makes very special music. Their first two albums could be classified as black metal, with hard screaming and very fast music. Their latest one, „Her Von Welken Nächten", shows a considerable evolution, with the addition of a cello. The guitars take much more place in the songs, and they are really awesome! Click below to hear a sample from their song „Ich Bin Aus Mir".
