Description

Limited re-issue in an 5 digipak cover with a bonus cd and a 20 page booklet

Formed in 1996 by Alexander Kaschte, Samsas Traum was a German (eventually calling Austria home) experimental metal act, encompassing elements of dark wave, gothic, black metal, and symphonic metal. The name is derived from the protagonist Gregor Samsa in Kafka’s The Metamorphosis (1915). Their third album Utopia shows that this band just becomes more and more difficult to classify the band’s style. Kaschte has parted ways with his vocalist Johannes Welsch, and with that he seems to have parted with his black metal parts. What’s on offer on Utopia can roughly be classified under gothic, even if this description is rather inadequate. The band still mixes classic elements with gothic and heavy parts, which isn’t new, but in this case it’s extremely successful. Utopia is a mix of the classic and gothic parts of Lacrimosa, the heaviness of Eisregen and Atrocity and then you can ad some folk and piano. Even if this sounds like its made up of chaos and confusion it isnt. You never get the feeling that youre listening to an experimental album. The album is actually more catchy than one might expect from this description and it invites you to sing along.
