Allerseelen and RAF Camora. Essay by Grok 03.07.2025

Some compare the successful musician RAF Camora with the Austrian music group Allerseelen, founded by Gerhard Hallstatt, although both projects are quite different. Why are both compared by some writers?

The comparison between RAF Camora and Allerseelen, despite their stark musical differences, likely stems from a few shared contextual elements and the tendency of some writers to draw connections based on cultural or regional associations rather than strictly musical ones. Here’s a concise analysis of why these comparisons might arise:Austrian Origins: Both RAF Camora (born Raphael Ragucci in Vienna) and Allerseelen (founded by Gerhard Hallstatt in Hallstatt, Austria) hail from Austria. This shared national identity can lead writers to group them together when discussing Austrian music, especially in contexts highlighting influential or notable artists from the region.

Innovative Approaches: Both artists are seen as innovators within their respective genres. RAF Camora, a prominent figure in German-speaking hip-hop and dancehall, is known for blending urban sounds with diverse influences, achieving massive commercial success with over 4.5 billion streams. Allerseelen, on the other hand, is a pioneering project in the post-industrial, neofolk, and "apocalyptic krautfolk" scenes, known for its experimental fusion of industrial, folk, and esoteric themes. Writers may draw parallels due to their boundary-pushing creativity, even if the genres differ vastly.

Cultural Impact: Both have made significant marks in their scenes. RAF Camora dominates mainstream German-language charts, with eight number-one hits in German hip-hop charts and 93 chart placements in Austria. Allerseelen, while niche, has a cult following in the neofolk and industrial underground, with performances across Europe, North America, and Russia, and a reputation for philosophical and alchemical lyrical content. Some writers might compare them as examples of Austrian artists with outsized influence in their respective domains.

Misguided Genre Overlaps: Some comparisons may arise from a superficial or erroneous grouping of "alternative" or "non-mainstream" Austrian music. While RAF Camora operates in the mainstream hip-hop world, his innovative production techniques (honed at SAE Institute in Vienna and Berlin) might be loosely likened to Allerseelen’s experimental soundscapes, which incorporate unconventional instruments like human bones in early works. This could lead less discerning writers to draw tenuous connections.

Contrasting Personas: Both artists have distinct, larger-than-life personas that resonate with their audiences. RAF Camora’s slick, urban image contrasts with Gerhard Hallstatt’s esoteric, poetic, and somewhat controversial persona, tied to occult and historical themes. Writers might juxtapose them to highlight the diversity of Austrian musical expression, from mainstream accessibility to avant-garde provocation.

However, the comparison is limited by their vastly different genres, audiences, and thematic concerns. RAF Camora’s music is rooted in contemporary urban culture, with a focus on commercial appeal, while Allerseelen delves into ritualistic, philosophical, and sometimes controversial esoteric themes, often associated with neofolk and industrial subcultures. Any comparison is likely more about their shared Austrian roots and innovative spirits than any meaningful musical or thematic overlap. Writers making such comparisons may be aiming to showcase the breadth of Austria’s music scene rather than suggesting direct similarities.

Allerseelen CD Hallstatt (Text by Andreas Faust)

https://allerseelen.bandcamp.com/album/hallstatt

https://www.discogs.com/de/release/984370-Allerseelen-Hallstatt

"These "industrial folklore songs about love and death" are certainly not for everyone. Some would even call the style repetitive, but trancelike is a better word. The approach should be understandable to those who appreciate the finer of blackmetal works, like Burzum or the classic era Darkthrone. But Allerseelen’s roots lay in the industrial scene, which originally served as a weapon countering industrialism and nihilism. Unfortunately it lapsed onto formulaic paths, but Allerseelen’s Gerhard Hallstatt is one of the few still true to the original vision. He takes the rhythm of the assembly line and turns it against itself, by weaving spirit and beauty into otherwise dead patterns. (...) The album is inspired by a mountain town in Austria with so little room for graves that every ten years or so, bones were exhumed to make way for fresh burials. The exhumed skulls were decorated, and the name and profession of each deceased painted on its respective skull. Imagine, your own skull sitting in an ossuary after you die, name painted brightly for all to see! This town would be naturally inspiring to an artist whose name Allerseelen (’All Souls’ Day’) is the one day of the year when the dead are set loose, free to enter the hearts of the living once again. If you listen carefully you can hear them singing (’Hörst Du die Toten singen?’). Gerhard Hallstatt walks down old forgotten paths (’Auf alten, seltnen Wegen’), where the Heimat (homeland) meets the stars. Heaven itself has collapsed (’Der Himmel ist eingestürzt’) but strength can still be won through the Eagle’s defiant passion (’Der Sehnsucht Adlertrotz’). Here lovers dream of each other, two round pure droplets trembling on a lily, becoming one (’Wir träumten voneinander’). Hallstatt is dedicated to those "who decided to disappear forever into the mountains." It features a special guest appearance from Robert N. Taylor (Changes), who reminds us most effectively that our life is "but a spark in the night", a seen between two unseens (as the Bhagavad-Gita would have it), with a dark, unknown emptiness on either side. But this has always been true, so "what then is the cause of fear"? Could the spark, too, be only a drop of blood in the dreams of Georg Trakl, falling, shimmering, down, down? Down into "the lonely one’s wine..."" (Andreas Faust)

"Für den deutschsprachigen Teil des Hörbuchs konnten wir Gerhard Hallstatt von der österreichischen Apocalyptic Folk Band Allerseelen gewinnen, seine Darbietung des Geschehens rund um den Winterkrieg spiegelt die ganze Trauigkeit und Härte dieser Zeit wieder. Irgendwie klingt Gerhard, als ob er zurück in der Zeit gereist wäre und seine Texte im Winter 1939/ 1940 eingesprochen hätte." https://christhuntproductions.com/product/hrossharsgrani-talvisota-mcd-black-case/

"An der Brücke stand
jüngst ich in brauner Nacht.
Fernher kam Gesang:
goldener Tropfen quoll’s
über die zitternde Fläche weg.
Gondeln, Lichter, Musik –
trunken schwamm’s in die Dämmrung hinaus…

Meine Seele, ein Saitenspiel,
sang sich, unsichtbar berührt,
heimlich ein Gondellied dazu,
zitternd vor bunter Seligkeit.
– Hörte Jemand ihr zu?…"

"By the bridge I stood
recently in the brown night.
From the distance came the sound of song;
golden drops surged away
over the vibrating surface.
Gondolas, light, music -
drunk, it floated off into the dusk...

My soul, a lute,
unseeably moved, sang
a gondolier's song secretly to itself,
trembling with joyous bliss.
- Did anyone listen to it?"

+

"Stavo sul ponte, poc'anzi,
nella bruna notte.
Un canto veniva da lungi:
il tremulo specchio dell'acque
sprizzava di gocciole d'oro,
sfuggenti lontano.
Gondole, luci, musiche...
Un ebbro approdare, nuotando,
di forme, di suoni,
in grembo alla notte, - laggiù.

Un'arpa quest'anima mia...
Sfiorata da magiche dita,
cantava sommessa fra sé,
un canto da gondola,
tremante di variopinta
beata felicità.
Ma chi lo ascoltava?"

"Gerhard Hallstatt kommt gleich zur Sache, und „Löwin“ lässt einen schon hochschrecken, bevor man den Sessel nach dem Drücken der Play-Taste überhaupt erreicht hat. Die Rilke-Vertonung „Tanzt die Orange“ erhält hier dann sogar Gitarrenklänge in Schwermetallform (...). Gleich das dritte Stück, „Mädchen“, dessen Text im Grunde genommen stellvertretend für den ersten Teil des Albums steht, denn es machte „sich [recht schnell und nachhaltig] ein Bett in meinem Ohr“, erklingt mit Elementen von Kammermusik sehr wohltuend und angenehm. Sehr abwechslungsreich, mal rockig ("Jede Welle"), mal wie Barmusik mit Chanson-Charakter ("Flamme") und mal als Folklore ("Tjo tjo tjo di ri") gehen die Lieder vorüber. (...) Verstärkung erhält Gerhard in vielen Stücken durch AimA, deren Stimme die Lieder aber nicht weicher, sondern eher bestimmter und fordernder zeichnet. (...) Den neuen Liedfassungen, die man im letzten Jahr des Stillstands erschaffen hat, steht AimAs Stimme jedenfalls gut zu Gesicht. Die zweite Hälfte der CD (...) steht im starken Kontrast zu den oben ausgeführten Eindrücken der ersten 10 Lieder. Diese nun folgenden acht Stücke liegen irgendwo zwischen Industrial und Ambient und können es mit Klassikern aus dem Hause „Cold Meat Industries“ durchaus aufnehmen." (blackmagazin)
