Gernotshagen

If you listen to the sound of the wind, the songs of the birds and the whisper of the stream you can hear the old legends of our ancestors, Who were they? How did they live? Are the old gods the ones who live at the places, which were never touched by human beeings? Many legends climb aoround these places and sometimes they at themselves become the myths. If this happens the old histories were pass on from those people who become conscious with their ancestors and the beauty of their homeland. Two of those people -musicians- united themselves under the name "Grafen von Gleichen". They first tried the black metal with lyrics including gods, live and death, love and grief from the ancient times of their ancestors. After the first musical attemptions of singer D. Möller and guitarist B. Techet two new musicians entered the group who were familiar with the guitar and the bass. M.Pomplun and S.Beck. A new name for the band was searched. A path was given by a friend of B.Techet. This guided the four musicians to Gernotshagen ... ... Hundret years ago a place excisted which was situated in the shadow of the forest, below the tower of Wallenburg, eastern of the nowadays Trusetal. This place was called Gernotshagen. Nobody knows something about living conditions and the destinies of the people who lived there. Many foundings tell us the history of Gernotshagen and stimulate to think and philosophy about it. Maybe the four members are successors of these inhabitants. Maybe the same blood flews through the veins of the band ... and maybe it was the destiny who decided that even these four young musicians are telling the mystic history of Gernotshagen. A further stone for the success of the band was laid down. A new musician entered the band. Keyboarder S. Jung. With him started the atmosphere. A drummer was the only thing left. … this drummer was found during a concert. Together with T.Völker the band firstly joked about his entry to the band. But after the first test it was clear that he perfectly fits to the band. At last, first songs like "Winter", "Die Nacht des Raben" and "Herigest" could be finished. Till today our orignal formation is complete because we are more than just members of the same band. We are friends.
