With the opening of GermanMetal.com comes the opening of two artist sections: one of them is Unheilig. The reason for choosing them might be obvious to fans in Germany, Austria and Switzerland who have witnessed their incomparable breakthrough earlier this year. After about 10 years of dedication and concerts, Der Graf, frontman of Unheilig, finally got all the recognition he deserved for having created, over the years, a unique mix of genres, while keeping the music accessible. It is indeed hard to name one band that really sounds like Unheilig: danceable beats, heavy electronics in times, soft piano in others, catchy melodies, a few songs with heavy guitar riffs, lots of orchestra, a deep voice and a poetry that has evolved over the years to be more and more fitting to the music with the apparition of Unheilig's concept albums.

 

While Unheilig had a great fanbase already in 2009, the single "Geboren Um Zu Leben" made him known to the masses just earlier this year. New fans quickly saw Unheilig was no one-hit wonder: the album stayed #1 in the German album charts for 15 consecutive weeks, a record in the country. Also known for the energetic live performances of Der Graf, we hope this section will help give international recognition to Unheilig, or more modestly, be a nice resource for fans. Go ahead and visit it!
