" A memory for eternity"
Michael Heß dedicates these songs to his brother Markus, who, despite his strong will to fight, had to give in to cancer in 2010.
Michael wanted to create something with substance that reminded him of his brother Mark.
January 4, 2024 marks the 14th anniversary of Markus' death and on this day we will release the EP "Landscape Of Sorrow".
Born from a loving heart and created by a creative spirit, this little mini-EP "Landscape Of Sorrow" with its three songs is a precious little treasure that embodies an extremely worthy commemoration of a loved one. Despite the overall tragic and heavy subject matter, the EP surprises with a dark doom gem and two terrific energetic metal bangers! The musicians involved have realized the variably and complexly composed songs in an incredibly impressive and rousing way.
Born in 1972, Michael Heß discovered his love for metal at the age of 10, when he ran past a radio which played “I Love Rock ‘n Roll” by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts. Thus, he developed a true passion also e-guitars.
Before buying his own guitar, Michael played on his late brothers guitar just for fun, without any knowledge about musical notes.
In 2003, he finally bought his first e-guitar which started a whole new era for Michael. Years of practice, fun and more followed.
In December 2022, Michael started recording demo-songs for the first time. He made it his mission to write a tribute song to his late brother Markus Heß and eventually got into touch with Gonzalo Civita from the bands HelėH, Tribal who agreed to sing to this song. Their work went really well and good memories and fun led to them establishing even more songs together.
Michaels first EP, the “Landscape of Sorrow”-EP, was released on the 9th August 2023, on Markus Heß’ birthday, given the fact it is also dedicated to him.
“All of my songs sound different, but they all tell stories. They all tell different stories, and that’s what is important to me.”
