About Me

Advocatus Diaboli
NEW RELEASE - 06.10.06 - STERNENMARSCH
The band's name "Advocatus Diaboli" comes from canon law of the 16th, respectively 17th century and has got the meaning of "The Devil's Advocate". During a canonization for instance a priest plays the role of the Devil's Advocate to interfer the canonization. Contrary to "Advocatus Dei", God's Advocate, who represents the counterparty. Whereby The Devil's Advocate also plays this role within its own ranks as an opportunist. Later in time "The Devil's Advocate" found his way into the theaters.
"Part of the part am I, which at the first was all, a part of darkness, which gave birth to light"
(Goethe/Faust)
Danceable, thrilling beats, dark guitar-riffs and expressive bass-lines form the base for the devlish fundament, where powerful, electronic sound creations with distinctive male vocals and infatuated femal vocals meld to a spellbinding symphony of darkness which will not leave any part of your bodies without motions and emotions. Time has come for advanced rituals!
The Gothic-Wave-Formation who has been brought into being in 1996 and has attracted great attention in performing on stage with, amongst other Das Ich, ASP and Zeraphine as well as with the band's grandiose releases "Enter your Forest" and “Sterbend durch die Sonne”.
The most independent tracks introduced by Advocatus Diaboli are certainly not only known by playing the band's songs in the numerous clubs but also through their contributing their songs to various Gothic samplers, e.g. "Nachtschwärmer 8" where Advocatus Diaboli is to be found between Diary of Dreams, Samsas Traum and many more.
The overall positive media's reaction range from a "High Level Danse Macabre" to "Gothic-Rock as its Best".
