KALT represented a deconstructed version of my musical persona.

Established in 2003 as an outlet of personal expression without any influence from others, KALT has been a long-standing project which has interwoven its existence with my collaborative output.  As songwriter, instrumentalist and vocalist on all tracks I have had the freedom of thought to set out my own interpretations in musical form over the years, starting with Dein Gott  (quite literally, Your God) in 2009 which was re-released in 2011 with the Blood EP as a limited edition.  With tracks such a 'Lebe', 'The Darkness', 'Wie die Welt zusammenbricht' and 'Fahr Zur Hölle, Gott', Dein Gott is an introspective looking punch in the face for the religious fanatics and charlatans who claim a higher level of existence and moral superiority at the expense of the dispossessed, the poor and the forgotten.

"The Blood EP", released in a limited edition of 100 with the re-released Dein Gott, is a four track, 24 minute EP drawing on musical influences and has variously been described as powerful, melodic and melancholy.

Der Sturm was a turning point, deviating from the normal approach of writing and singing in English and reverting to my mother tongue of German.  As the name implies, the album captures a sense of disruption, uprooting of the old order and a general sense of chaos, with crunching guitars and bleakness being the dominant themes.

But first, let's start with "The Invisible":
