Engelsharven

g,
Musician

Engelsharven surfaced in 1988 as a five piece band with their first release Death in the Silence. Intent on pushing the barriers of Heavy Metal, the band made little fuss of popular of style or lyrical contents of guitar based rock music. With the departure of their lead guitarist and vocalist in 1989, the core of the band continued on with Tänon Guitar/Vocals, Rhino Bass and C.C. Fly Drums. Their self produced 1990 release Im Griff followed up where Death in the Silence had left off. The big break, however came in 1992 when the CD All Harved Up was released. Recorded live in studio with GB Producer Martin Pearson, the CD found them combining complex song structures with killer riffs on top of a hammering drum beat. The CD was followed up with nummerous live shows that ensured them a large following throughout Switzerland. 1993 saw them with two more releases, the aptly titeld Unplugged, witch again was a live recording and the studio recording Hardturm. The latter recording also introduced a new lead voocalist, Kiki. With the band now freed up to concentrate fully on their instruments, the already tight songs became absolute killer songs However the sheer power of Engelsharven is best experieced live.
