About Me

Klabautamann is a medium for the musical expression of Tim and Flo, who formed the band in 1998. After two demo-recordings the band finished their debut album Our Journey through the Woods in summer 2003. This was achived with the help of Marlon Drescher (session drums) and Armin Rave (mix and mastering). In February 2005 the second album "Der Ort" has been released on Heavy Horses Records. This time the CD was completely produced by the band. Anyway there were again some other people involved: Patrick SchrÃ¶der (session drums), Isabel Jasse + Stefan Horn (guest vocals), Julia Tomaschitz + Christian Kolf (some lyrics). At the moment the music can be roughly characterised as atmospheric Metal with many acoustic guitars. Theres a good deal of black metal influence in the music, but many progressive parts are also involved. Although there are no limits to the style the music will always be nature-related in some way. Latest example of this kind of "opend minded" progressive nature black metal can be found on the early 2007 picture vinyl. Even if it contains only two songs it very well reflects the style, aesthetics and philosophy behind Klabautmann.
At the moment we're working on new material for our third album. As always it will take it's time but the waiting should be worth it...
