about:
I often think about how such ugly wounds come to be… and how one could possibly heal them again. As I had to find out for myself, quietly gritting your teeth doesn’t solve anything, for sadly time doesn’t heal all wounds. After reading several of Pik’s song texts I got the idea to start writing my own texts to ease the pain. Soon I began working with metaphors and started expressing my emotions in fictional stories. With time these stories turned more and more into poem-like texts, which lastly became song texts.

Since it was clear to me, that the type of music I played with the band I had at the time wouldn’t match my song texts at all, I started looking for other people, who thought in a similar way as I do, and who were ready to start a new band.

Now, a year later, I have to say we’ve gone the right way. Even though we live quite far from each other, which hasn’t made life as a band member easier, we’ve managed to persevere. On a musical basis we’ve reached what we’ve set out for, on stage we weren’t so sure about that yet. But a new year has begun, and we have a lot of things planned.
