A milestone of dark romantic, folk-influenced music is now being re-released.
With their album „Ignis Fatuus: Irrlichter“ German band ENGELSSTAUB created a fascinating piece of dark music.

Based on trance-like percussion basements, beautiful and softly plugged acoustic guitars create impressive folk melodies.
Medieval flutes and the male-female vocal dualism rise a sacred lure comparable to DEAD CAN DANCE. The decent use of synthesizers on top of the neofolk rhythmic pattern spreads a fragile charme like DEATH IN JUNE.
Skillfully the music flows between apocalyptic folk, neoclassic and fascinating eternal and modern arrangements.

Astonishingly this records has been created already in 1994. But the Label APOLLYON/Musique Indépendante Noire brings this uncarved diamond of acoustic orientated, melancholic folk music back into the light by a re-release in 2010.
The Re-Release comes in a 6-panel DVD-Digipak with a completely reworked audio material and an additional, previously unreleased track. Thus, this CD is a must have for every collector of neofolk / neoclassic or darkwave.

Fascinating, beautiful romantic, hypnotic, fragile and far away from being a commercial sell-out, there is just one question to ask:
Why did we have to wait such an incredibly long time until the re-release of that magnificent milestone?
