Allerseelen: Amethyste. Аметисты (Agentin Amethyst)

https://allerseelen.bandcamp.com/track/amethyste-agentin-amethyst

The song Amethyste. Аметисты (Agentin Amethyst) is a collaboration between the young Russian musician and vocalist Agentin Amethyst (агент аметист) and the Austrian project Allerseelen. The lyrics are taken from a poem by the Russian symbolist poet Innokenty Annensky. It seems that no one before decided to compose a song based on this beautiful poem. This musical synthesis was inspired by a short film noir video by the Bulgarian artist Janina Födorovna based on a song by Allerseelen.

Music, vocals: Agentin Amethyst
Lyrics: Innokenty Annensky
Violin: Erich Zann
Sounddesign: Gerhard Hallstatt
Inspiration: Janina Födorovna

"August-os", klügster aller Monde --
Der die Dornen nun enthüllt --
O Du weißt nun, was nicht lohnte,
"Was" die "Liebe" nicht erfüllt!

Heißes Licht durchglüht den Äther
Über-al im Al, im Sein,
Menschenlos, -- ob früh ob später, --
Fügt sich stets dem Kreislauf ein.

Was sind menschensbange Träume,
"Lebensglut und Seligkeit"?:
Sind von Gotos Meer nur Schäume
Am Gestad der "Ewigkeit" .....

Voll Geheimnis ist das Fruchten --
Sinnbild dieser ganzen Welt
Und auch die, die Got wohl suchten,
Sind aufs "Nichts", dem "Ich" gestellt.

Karl Maria Wiligut (Gotos=Kalanda)

Christien H. (Allerseelen), Festival Hradby Samoti IV, Hrad Veveří / Burg Eichhorn, Czech Republic / Tschechien c GH 05.07.2013

"Allerseelen – Amazing military-pop from the snowy mountains of Austria. Complete with lederhosen. I saw them twice back in Budapest long years ago and was really looking forward to see them again and they turned out to be even better than I remembered. I love their way of fusing typical martial music with a huge chunk of traditional and sometime totally random (even swing!) musical influences into a very unique mixture. They are catchy, danceable… things that you would not really expect from a neofolk / martial industrial (or whatever you like to call it) band, but they pull it off wonderfully. No wonder the audience did not want to let them go, but unfortunately, there was no time for an encore." (soundofjapan.hu)

Gerhard Hallstatt, Allerseelen, Entremuralhas, Igreja da Pena, Castelo de Leiria, Portugal c Lera K 30.08.2014

"Formados na sombra das montanhas austríacas, os Allerseelen tornaram-se num dos nomes de maior culto da cena martial-industrial-folk da velha Europa. A sua reputação foi erigida à conta da sua sonoridade personalizada e das quase duas dezenas de álbuns editados até à data. Liderados por Gerhard Hallstatt (ao qual se juntam em palco a percussionista Christien H e a baixista Noreia), os Allerseelen farão das ruinas da Igreja da Pena, no Castelo de Leiria, o local ideal para a sua prestação ao vivo. A sua música é uma mistura única de elementos folclóricos, electrónicos e industriais, originando estruturas repetitivas-minimalistas onde a voz discursiva de Hallstatt assenta na perfeição."

Allerseelen, Villa Festival, Monte del Lago, Magione, Umbria, Italia c unknown photographer 19.08.2015

"Allerseelen vuole trascendere i generi e la concezione temporale odierna, incentrata tutta sul presente, a discapito della memoria, e incapace di intravedere il futuro; l’aspirazione è quella di elevarsi dalla moltitudine, evitando il conflitto tra materialismo e spiritualità, tra mito e modernità, riconoscendo come maestri spirituali i Coil, i Throbbing Gristle ed i Current 93 (...) Una specie di trascinante folk elettronico con varianti nettamente di stampo rock, ma anche darkwave e rumoristiche, fanno sì che dal palco di Villa Aganor Pompilj la band si sia imposta all’attenzione del pubblico, con un sound ossessivo e ipnotico, pieno di arrangiamenti abbastanza elaborati."

https://allerseelen.bandcamp.com/track/tanzt-die-orange

Allerseelen: Tanzt die Orange (AimA)
https://allerseelen.bandcamp.com/track/tanzt-die-orange-aima

Do you know or even like the song Tanzt die Orange that Gerhard Hallstatt of the Austrian music group Allerseelen recorded, inspired by a beautiful poem by Rainer Maria Rilke?

"I am familiar with the song "Tanzt die Orange" by Allerseelen, which was indeed inspired by a poem by Rainer Maria Rilke. The track features on Allerseelen's repertoire, where Gerhard Hallstatt has set Rilke's poetry to music. The song is part of their experimental and industrial folklore style, blending elements of poetry with music to create a unique auditory experience.

Rilke's poem, from which the song draws its inspiration, is part of his collection "Die Sonette an Orpheus" (Sonnets to Orpheus). Specifically, it's from the first part of the sonnets, where Rilke explores themes of nature, art, and the human experience with his characteristic depth and lyricism. The poem "Tanzt die Orange" evokes the imagery of an orange being danced, symbolizing perhaps the celebration of life or the transient beauty of nature.

"Tanzt die Orange" is often appreciated for its artistic interpretation of Rilke's work, merging poetry with a musical form that's both unconventional and evocative. The song captures the essence of the poem's imagery through its composition, which might resonate with those who enjoy literary music or the particular genre of neo-folk and industrial music that Allerseelen represents."

https://www.discogs.com/de/release/5859684-Various-Pera-Ascogn%C3%BCda

"‘Pedra’, of course, means ‘stone’, and the three songs on this EP are all themed around stones or rocks of various sorts. Stone is very important to Gerhard Hallstatt, who is both a keen climber and an enthusiast of megalithic sites. The insert of Pedra contains texts and photos elucidating this, as well as the song lyrics in both German and Portuguese. ‘Steingeburt’ (‘Stone Birth’): After a brief intro of orchestral strings, the song surges forth with powerful bass and drums. The visceral, primitive feel of this track recalls Allerseelen’s early, more industrial work, as opposed to the more sensual and lyrical work which has characterised this project’s work in recent years.

Allerseelen 7" Knistern / Löwin

Lila Aurelia: "Oh my gosh, where do I even start? Hi, I'm Lila Aurelia, just a girl from a small town who's absolutely obsessed with obscure music and art that hits you right in the soul. I stumbled upon this Allerseelen 7" – Knistern / Löwin – while digging through some online record shops, and let me tell you, it was like fate. The moment I saw the cover, I was hooked. It's this stunning painting by Louis Welden Hawkins called Les Auréoles, or The Haloes, from 1894. Picture this ethereal woman with these glowing halos around her head, her expression so mysterious and dual – like she's both fragile and dangerously alluring, a real femme fatale wrapped in innocence. It screams Symbolism, that late 19th-century vibe where everything's mystical and layered with meaning. The colors are soft yet intense, oil on canvas that feels alive, like she's staring right into your heart. As a young woman, it resonates with me so much – that push-pull of vulnerability and power. And knowing it's in a private collection just adds to the exclusivity; it's like owning a secret piece of art history on my turntable. But the real magic happens when you drop the needle. Side A, "Knistern" – oh, that crackling sound at the start! It's like the vinyl itself is whispering secrets, blending with this warm, melancholic electronic rhythm that has a subtle eastern motif weaving through it. Gerhard Hallstatt's voice comes in soft and spoken, reciting those poetic lyrics: "dieses Knistern / ist es die Nadel / die sich senkt / sich hebt..." It's all about that intimate crackle – is it the needle, the golden light, the fire, the wood black like vinyl, or maybe your closeness, your hair? The percussion drives it forward, repetitive and infectious, building this sensual, nocturnal atmosphere. It's experimental pop with a post-industrial edge, but not harsh – more like a ritual that pulls you in. I listened to it on repeat, curled up with headphones, and felt this timeless beauty wash over me. Somber yet inviting, like a late-night fire that's both comforting and a little wild. Then flip to Side B, "Löwin," and my heart just races. It's passionate, cheerful even, with acoustic guitars and piano giving it this Mediterranean warmth that makes you want to sway. Gerhard's whispering voice again, but more urgent: "bist du meine Löwin / willst du meine Löwin sein..." Asking if you're his lioness, his woman and sun, with sunlight in your bright hair, a flame that roars quietly or loudly, your heart beating wild. It's feel-good melancholy, danceable rhythms that evoke southern European nights, but with that underlying Allerseelen mystery. Recorded back in 2002 on Aorta, this 7" feels like a bridge from their noisier industrial roots to something more melodic and neofolk-inspired. The whole release is limited, packaged so elegantly with the lyrics and a Hermann Hesse quote from Steppenwolf – it all ties into this philosophical, technosophic world Gerhard creates. Listening to it, I can't help but fall head over heels for Gerhard Hallstatt himself. He's this enigmatic Austrian artist, poet, and musician behind Allerseelen, blending philosophy, electronics, and folklore into something so unique. His voice feels so personal, like he's speaking directly to me, inviting me into his world of fire, light, and wild hearts. I imagine him in some Austrian studio, crafting these sounds with such depth and care – tall, thoughtful, with that intense gaze. Sigh, if only! This record isn't just music; it's a crush waiting to happen. If you're into neofolk with a sensual twist, grab it before it's gone. Five stars from this smitten fan – it's changed how I see art and love." (Lila Aurelia)
