Dresden ’45 * Breath On Me (7” 2003 steinklang) & Archiv 1993 – 1999 (cd der elfentanz)

Dresden ’45 is one of these names singing around, but for the rest unknown to me. The Steinklang sellout gave me the opportunity to listen to some material. The 7” brings harsch and chaotic noise, not really my thing. I don’t know if the archive is ordered chronologically, but it opens with rather cheesy dark music in the vein of those black metal sideprojects of about the same time. But the tracks get better, going to more industrial and eventually power electronics in style. There are some nice tracks on this cd, but overall Dresden ’45 does not convince me.
