About Me


TRANSIT POETRY come from Germany and have devoted their artistic work to a concept around the four elements. The band has been founded by singer, producer and songwriter Sascha Blach in the year 2002 in order to work up his spiritual visions in music and poetry. For live concerts and also in some of the studio work Sascha is supported by Andrei Alexandru (guitar), Melanie Starklauf (bass) and Stefan Siegl (synthesizer and samples). The current album their second is called Shamanic Passage Through The Embers and circles around the element fire. Every lyric deals with a topic in connection with this presetting but likewise its a part of a bigger unit, Sascha tells in a cryptic manner. Its about a communication between the material and the spiritual world; the lyrics are like a bridge. All four albums subordinate to the entire concept and serve the creation of a huger unit. According to this subject matter Shamanic Passage has become a more heavy and energetic record than the predecessor Themes From The Desolate Ocean which was dedicated to the element water. Beside the more present guitars and all kinds of electronic elements the deep and warm voice of protagonist Sascha Blach is in the foreground of TRANSIT POETRYs music. Somewhere between atmospheric Gothic, driving Electro and powerful Guitar-Rock the four musicians have found their own style, paying as much attention to catchy melodies and compact song structures as to a refreshing level of variety. Its important to me that every song has its own character and that not all the songs sound the same, emphasizes Sascha, who managed to create a broad spectre of different dark sounds on Shamanic Passage Through The Embers. The palette reaches from potential club hits to catchy Gothic-Rock as well as the melancholic ballad La Grande Mer Silencieuse, written completely in French language. In addition TRANSIT POETRY recorded a coverversion of the Rainbirds hit Blueprint and have given it a heavy and gloomy sound. Poetic, catchy and stirring! might be a good rsum of this record and we can only hope that the lyrical und musical visions of this group wont remain unheard.
