About Me

Embolus started in 1998 to make a mixture of EBM and trance. After making the songs Live is over and Krieg im Himmel we discovered another style which we liked very much. It was a mixture of neofolk and electro. This was the style which we were going to make for the upcoming cd's. After the demo "Are the stories right" (with the hitsong Sunna) we were discovered by DJ Cybercase and he soon became our booker. Soon after that the demo "Bluot zi bluoda" we played all around Holland. In March of 2006 we released our latest album "All Natures Child." On this album we got the help of some guest-musicians to play the acoustic instruments like a flute, a violin, acoustic guitar and a female voice. The music became more mature and the trance parts have come back. It's a very diverse album with the stumping song "the leprechaun" (live clip viewable in videos) and the neofolk song "The source of our land."
Our current playlist for live performances will surely make you move your feet and dance to the delicate sounds of Embolus.
On the upcoming cd "Where ice crystals reign" (available summer 2008)
Embolus will bring all they did before to a new and heavier level.
With Andre now doing live VJ-ing and programming and Patrick playing live drums.

compliments on summerdarkness site
