Music Style Melodic Death Metal - Vienna Style

Musical Influences All you can think of ...

Artist History Since the foundation in 1996 TAISH wore through some metamorphoses. Initially with female presence in the drums and vocals in the Gothic Metal-area settled, the style turned by new acquisitions - Bertl S. (vocals), Jürgen H. (lead guitar), Tomo S. (rhythm guitar) and Tommy E. (drums) - into direction Death Metal. With Daniel L. a keyboarder came for the first time to the volume. After the first Livegigs from the spring, 1998 before native publics the first demo-CD (1999) also went hand in hand. Shortly after completion it came to a rearrangement of the line up: Tomo S. left the volume, Daniel L. took over with Jürgen H. the guitar parts - now both guitarists changed according to arrangement between lead- and rhythm guitar. In the keyboards enriched Roland S. the volume. By the increase of the musical quality in the new songs melted now stylistic elements of Scandinavian Metal, Florida Death Metal, Power Metal, Gothic Metal, Progressive Rock/Metal, Hardcore, Classical period as well as Jazz together, where all our but rather different musical roots are reflected. "Melodic Death Metal - Vienna Style" was born and made accessible on the MCD "THE END OF THE TRAIL" (own-label record) to a wide public. The life-affirming lyrics are topical or mystically inspired (these are to be gleaned on our homepage). The throughly positive reviews in various Internet-zines (e.g.: earshot.at, resurrection.at, metalworld.at - Austria; vates-noctis.de.vu, mordor-magazine.de.tt, wrox.net - Germany; agonia.dagdy.com.pl, satanahia.black.art.pl, mip.av.pl - Poland; Fanzine Kogaionon, Charons’s Chronicles - Russia; deadtide.com - USA; nihilistic.ca.tc – France; come.to/tragenda - Italy; tomhet.net - Lithunia; vampire-magazine.com - Netherlands) or Metal-magazines (e.g.: "LEGACY" issue No. 11; 12 of 15 points) could wake the interest of some labels. Jürgen H. was replaced some months by Mario P. who left our round then together with Daniel L. In the meantime Jürgen H. has found his place in our middle again and after a few months with René S. finally the young and gifted violinist Tymur M. became our sixth member. A much bigger growing fan's community did to itself with the graduated scenes (in Vienna: Aera, Palais Eschenbach, Planet Music - twice participation at the Austrian Band Contest, Szene, TüWi, Unplugged, Weberknecht , Zu-ga-be; in Graz: JZ Explosiv; in Mürzzuschlag: JZ HOT; in Perchtoldsdorf: Hyrtl Haus; in Bad Gastein: Alpine Jam-festival; in Wieselburg: Crackup-festival) noticeably. The Internet presence with homepage (www.taish.org) and free-mp3-files (www.mp3.com/taish) announced TAISH also beyond the borders of Austria. A row successful gigs before big public - March and May in the Arena/Vienna (EMERGENZA-Bandcontest), in each case approx. 300 to 400 guests; July in the Arena/Vienna (EMERGENZA-Final), approx. 2000 guests; July at the HELL ON EARTH-Festival/Wr. Neustadt, approx. 1500 guests; August at the "666"-Underground Party, approx. 2000 guests - followed till summer, 2001. The choice of our bandname explains itself as follows: TAISH was the Gaelic (Celtic) name given to “second sightâ€�, the involuntary ability of seeing the future or distant events - it originated in the Scotish highlands. But we have bumped during our inquiries still on the most different meanings in other cultural areas which were however similarly.
