Sanguis et Cinis [*1994 †2007]

The complete history of
Sanguis et Cinis
From birth to death and beyond...
From 1989 to 1993 Eve Evangel™ had the idea of forming a band under the name "Sanguis et Cinis". Starting as solo-project Eve had been working with several musicans during that period, but none of them seemed to fit or shared the same vision Eve had for his project. So there hadn't been any continuity in the band and just loose "sessions" with changing musicians until Eve got to know Ashley Dayour in 1994 and they instantly decided to start to work together. That's what marked the beginning of Sanguis et Cinis as a band. They decided to organize shows before they even wrote songs together. Within a short amount of time the teamed up with a keyboardplayer and gave their first performance in their rehearsalroom in front of a handfull rather shocked people. The show ended up quite badly with burning curtains and Ashley slamming his guitar into his amp. They decided to never ever play music again. But things turned out differently.
Not a year had been passing by and they reconsidered their decision and agreed to perform as special guest on a at this time well-known party called Martyrium at a larger, highly frequented location in Vienna. Again - with no idea how to carry out this assignment. Shortly before the scheduled date they got to know Richard Lederer (who already was in 2 signed bands at this time) at a party at exact the same location and told him about their plans. He had been interested, joined them and they started writing songs together immediately. Within the next few days they wrote an entire setlist for the show, also including Schicksalswölfe and Gedankensplitter*, later to be found on Sanguis et Cinis' debutalbum Schicksal (*limited edition only). They also recorded selected songs and put them together on the first demotape called "Requiem 1791".
The show turned out well, so others followed (2nd show had already been outside Austria) and various other musicians joined the line-up. By the end of 1995 the line-up also included 1 flute player and 1 bass player. It didn't take long until the release of the 2nd demotape "untitled" in early 1996, including new songs and live-versions of songs from the demo. Most songs from this tape finally made it on the debutalbum "Schicksal".
