- Kreuzweg Ost
__NOTOC__Kreuzweg Ost is a
darkwave /martial industrial project founded by Michael Gregor andMartin Schirenc . The music is a blend of world war-related samples and loops with booming sounds and instrumental pieces. There are novocals ; instead, the predominant samples are arranged so that they take the role of vocals, sometimes telling short stories similar to radio play snippets. Martin Schirenc, of Austriandeath metal bandPungent Stench , left the group shortly after the release of the "Iron Avantgarde" album and was replaced by programmerRonald Albrecht and producer/sound engineerOliver Stummer . Michael Gregor is a member of the Austrian band Summoning and is also known as "Silenius". Oliver Stummer has also released asTomoroh Hidari andhis Namelessness Is Legion .Motives
Kreuzweg Ost’s concept is about making musical translations of various movies dealing with military or religious topics. The selection of films includes literature adaptations, along with other films.
