1996 – 2026: 30 years of DORNENREICH
July 17, 2026
it's hard to believe but the pictures attached display in all clarity: quite a few years have passed by.
On the one photo one can see a fifteen-year-young Eviga back in 1996 who glances rather shy and dreamy, on the other a fourty-five-year-old Eviga, who glances – well, you name it haha...
Howsoever, nowadays I often choose to look at the world and at life in a dreamful way to consciously reunite myself with the mystery of being here at all. The impositions and pains that an earthly existence brings along inevitably, suggest themselves all by themselves as the years go by – and as you all know yourselves.
What in my perception was central back in 1996 is still central now after three decades of band history. It is this indescribable feeling that emerges from deep inside whenever I am given the opportunity to perceive music that affects me, that lifts me out of all irrelevant circumstances... and that connects me with the big essential picture, with the totality of things - within moments that are both fugitive as well as eternal according to their deeper origin...
That is the enchantment that keeps curious, that nurtures and that lets someone belong to, the enchantment that satisfies the soul - at depth.
To have had the chance to follow my very own path with that much music, nature and that many encounters ever since I can think makes me feel thankful and contented to the core. I was given the opportunity to experience so much along the way, had the chance to meet so many colorful characters – it has been a gift for sure. Yet, it would almost be a lie to withhold the fact that there also were numerous bitter hours to bear through the years...
However, the gratefulness overweighs by far – and the fire: is still burning inside – as it is inside you, right?
Here's to many more years full of experiences, encounters and defiant lust for life – as this November on tour:

ALBUM X - CURRENT STATUS
May 29, 2026
As many of its songs reveal a wistful, yearning and even doleful core while also getting across defiant, accusatory and deeply vibrant energies you might have a clue which central vibe and even instrumentation the album will come along with, right? ...
Personally, I perceive the new songs to be haunting and stirring - even though in new ways in many regards. You know us by now: we can't tread water. So, this album will be a unique part of our creative work.
Right now we are in the middle of the pre-production of the ten songs the album relies on. However, the road to completion is long still, which is related to some ideas around the special stage we are in as a band at this point and in particular it is related to the very special sonic sphere that we want these songs to be conveyed by.
And don't be mistaken: despite the acoustic guitar in the picture the sound pattern of the new album won't (!) rely on acoustic guitar.
Having said this, of course my acoustic guitar – combined with Inve's violin – will take center stage on our upcoming tour. You will find the collected tour info following this link: Tourdates
We channel all available energies for the ongoing pre-production and can hardly wait to share with you these new songs with all their individual intensity and feral beauty...
The reencounter with many of you on tour this November will support us while digging our long way to the finalized production of the album.
With confidence and genuine devotion

"UNSER FLÜGELSCHLAG" - AKUSTIKTOUR 2026
April 9, 2026
This tour carries significant weight with us, which many of you will have realized considering the title "Unser Flügelschlag". In the course of the next months our thoughts and feelings concerning this title will be clarified.
We will prepare a set branching out in all directions that will also include live premieres of some songs that were and still are dear companions to many of you - as we know.
Moreover, we are very happy about the serendipity that our friends VINSTA will enrich this tour by means of their refined acoustic programme relying on heart- and handmade music within alpine soundscapes.
In these times it will be invigorating - and will simply feel soothing - to celebrate the depth of life, the arcanum of being here within the circle of kindred souls... this much is certain.
The rare opportunity to meet many of you again brings great joy to us.
Connected and with pleasant anticipation

RENEWAL
December 30, 2025
With confidence we look ahead and – carefully – we plan to make more appearances in the second half of 2026.
Gilvan recovers by and by, however, it will take some time still until familiar amounts of energy will be available again.
Consequently, one of our main aspirations for 2026 is the common return to the stage – in terms of a thunderous set within the frame of next year's Prophecy Fest.
And after this year that led us on to new paths and confronted us with new tasks we intend to focus on the final elaboration of album X more heavily again in 2026. It is about time to bring the countless ideas that we collected during the last years by means of sketches and promising demo recordings into their most spell binding form.
Thank you so much for your loyalty that we could feel this year again, friends!
May 2026 turn out to be a good year for all of us...
Life and Passion!

20 YEARS AFTER "HEXENWIND"
November 18, 2025
ime, friends, it really flies...
The journey from the first idea to the released album turned out to be a truly demanding and long one. So, one oft he attached picture dates back to 2001 – to the first days of working on – or rather dreaming of – "Hexenwind"… (; the other picture was taken in 2024).
"Hexenwind" is by no means an obvious continuation of "Her Von Welken Nächten" given the stylistic choices it relies on. So, the first reception was very mixed to say the least.
However, today this very album is one of our most appreciated albums. Possibly, the introverted and hypnotic core of it was ahead of its time back in 2005. I am not sure. What I do know, though, is that it marked the beginning of the most crucial phase of Dorneneich's development.
To me "Hexenwind" symbolizes our fully and consciously formed artistic confidence - in regard to our deeper motivation, to our possibilities, to our vision. About many things we got clear over the course of the demanding process of creating, of carving this album.
It would have never entered our mind to record or even aim at recording the same album over again as a matter of calculation. And that couldn't be more obvious when listening to "Her Von Welken Nächten" and "Hexenwind" in succession.
So, certainly also the album we are currently working on won't feel like an expectable continuation of our last album, nonetheless there is a deep interconnection between all our albums – and that is the pulsating, ever-new enthusiasm for genuine expression.
Back in 2005 the result of this enthusiasm and approach was "Hexenwind"...
The feeling that - through the years - we were able to stay in touch with the ever evolving heart of life is something that sustains us, friends – just as your loyalty does...
By the end of the year we will get back to you to share some more things concerning our further prospect for 2026...
With strength, with love - in gratitude

PROPHECY FEST - POSTPONEMENT OF DORNENREICH METAL SET
July 22, 2025
with a heavy heart we have to let you know that we are forced to postpone the metal set that we were eager to play at this year's Prophecy Fest to next year due to health reasons affecting our drummer Gilvan.
Gilvan's recovery coincides with the rehearsals and the Prophecy Fest itself and given the fact that Gilvan's drumming is the very pulse of our metallic side we have no choice but to postpone the concert: health comes first.
Inve and I will will play the second Dornenreich concert (acoustic set) as scheduled - not least for Gilvan who was immensely looking forward to Balve.
For the time being we wish Gilvan a speedy recovery also on behalf of you - our loyal and passionate audience.
Let's turn the acoustic concert at this year's Prophecy Fest into something particularly powerful, connecting and conscious!

May 2, 2025
That's why we are immensely happy about the fact that we will play not one but two acoustic shows - in Ankara (05.09.2025) and in Istanbul (06.09.2025).
From my first trip to Istanbul back in 2016 as guitarist for Empyrium I know that the emotional core of our music is rarley perceived more fervently than by music lovers in Turkey, Syria and Iran I met back then. So, my pleasant anticipation to share with you the acoustic heart of Dornenreich live in concert can hardly be put into words.
It will be an honour and a deep joy. After all we shall see you in September!

THE TREASURE OF A CONCERT
February 24, 2025
That is, actually, the last time we played in Frankfurt was in 2016 and the last time we visited Nürnberg was back in 2014 (; let alone our last concert in Nürnberg's Z-Bau back in 2011...). Well, it is about time to return, certainly!
In any case our intense and devoted live approach benefited from our focus on few chosen concerts without any doubt. Consequently, each and every concert is truly precious to us. It is a rare and consciously approached opportunity and treasure to share with you the same moment, place - and passion for music.
Let's turn these upcoming nights into moments lived to the fullest and let's turn these nights into lasting memories together!

THE TRANSFORMATIVE QUALITY OF A CONCERT...
February 7, 2025
MActually, ever since – not live but via VHS cassette – I discovered Tori Amos on her piano. I was mesmerized. What I was about to experience was a level of musicality, intensity, playfulness, presence and gripping emotional immediacy that – in retrospect – was the most defining experience that I made as a young musician when it comes to my perception of central qualities of a concert.
When a concert really takes off - in the playing, deep within all the attendants - this shared moment may fully come into its own and may take full effect regarding a deeply transformative and invigorating quality.
That's what - even through a screen - Tori Amos made me perceive many, many years ago and I am fulfilled each and every time when I feel for a blink of an eye that a spark of the inspiration I once experienced lives on whenever we play and put everything in the balance at this very moment on stage – our pure human being in word, sound and personal presence.
And we will do so once again real soon:

...TO KEEP BALANCE...
December 25, 2024
Now, as another year comes to its end – here in the silence of Tyrolean winter – we feed on the personal encounters we had with many of you in the course of this year's concerts and we also feed on the deep connection that you let us feel on this occasion – and, be assured, this connection means a lot to us.
That this connection exists at all may be based on the fact that we have tried our very best to protect Dornenreich's essence throughout all these years – the essence of trying to touch upon the human condition, the human experience with all its potentials, break lines and strengths. And we tried to do so by going our very own way according to our hearts. It appears to me that this is what kept Dornenreich's inner core vital and profoundly human – in fact as much for ourselves as well as for you, I feel, not to mention the countless individual accesses that also contribute to Dornenreich and its whole meaning.
The lives of us all take place within different coherences and spheres, which tend to demand a lot from us at various times. Acknowledging the existence of painful experiences that none of us can avoid and of difficult forks in our paths it appears to me that the quality of our experience tends to depend on how deep our roots reach when it comes to our inner self, our surroundings, the earth. And over and over we have to painfully realize that our roots (seemingly) don't go down deep enough – and we have to admit to ourselves that we feel lost now and again. Also and above all in such moments it can be nourishing and wholesome to experience resonance and response with regard to one's naked and fragile human condition – by means of personal encounters, by means of nature and as well as by means of entering into an emotional dialogue with artistic expression... To fully realize that and to allow that to happen is a precious gift to my mind.
Next year I will be challenged by certain areas aside from music which will result in a year with only few concerts. Consequently, also the final elaboration of our 10th studio album will take even more time. However, there is a lot going on here for the creative future of Dornenreich, be assured once more, and hopefully we will be able to share the process with you in more detail next year.
Anyway, after all these years - and more than ever before actually - it seems to be of central importance to keep the spirit that Dornenreich is steeped in clear, fearless and independent. In my eyes that is the requirement for Dornenreich's expression to preserve its vital and unpredictable aura, its relevance.
To come to an end here before the year is actually over I - on behalf of Dornenreich - would like to thank you all out there for your loyalty and for so much more, friends and companions, that you might barely ever guess and what is difficult to put into words at all. Well, in the end we all know it and it comes down to: the feeling that no word can follow...
Deeply connected, with unbroken enthusiasm at heart wishing you an inspiring end of 2024

25 YEARS "BITTER IST'S, DEM TOD ZU DIENEN"
August 23, 2024
A short while ago during a rehearsal of „Reime faucht der Märchensarg“ for the upcoming tour we suddenly realized that our second album "Bitter its's, dem Tod zu dienen" was released over 25 years ago – in June 1999 to be exact.
In retrospect 1999 – facing a new millennium – was a very, very exciting and expectant year when it comes to numerous societal and artistic areas. And in my perception this truly special atmosphere is reflected by the extremely longing heart note of this second album of Dornenreich. And looking back at the eighteen-year-old Eviga of those days 1999 turned out to be one of the most defining years of my life...
So, it will be profoundly joyful to honor the emotionally charged and magical ambiance of this time by intonating "Reime faucht der Märchensarg" on tour: :

THE INVISIBLE FORCE OF MUSIC
August 14, 2024
In addition to that I would like to mention that personally I really perceive it to be rewarding that concerts - as mode of joint experience of sometimes deeply emotional music - are able to connect all people present in unique ways that sometimes are even soothing and encouraging...
Besides, every single concert helps us - as a band - to realize our very own artistic voice by means of its comprising intrinsic liveliness and its immediacy. And that is something that consequently also supports us in choosing the shape that we want a specific song to be recorded in when we are about to enter the studio.
So, there are numerous qualities to discover in this invisible force called music...
Now, it won't be long until the tour starts and the invisible force will unite us once again:

RESONANCE
June 28, 2024
"We quickly go into raptures and frequently catch ourselves simply soaking up the wonderful atmosphere - with eyes closed and mouth open." (metal.de)
"Deeply touched we stood rooted to the spot - hypnotized and overwhelmed (...). Now, thinking back to the concert I am still moved." (vampster.com)
"(...) an enchanting and captivating concert, which - by minimalist means - took full effect." (undergounded.de)
"For me this appearance was a revelation: two musicians with only one instrument respectively were able to cast a spell on the audience and managed to involve everyone present in an emotional hurricane" (dark-art.com)
In September and October we will continue this mesmerizing journey that began in Berlin.
Available tickets vanish quickly (Kassel: 20 tickets left, Wörgl: 30 left):

TRUTHFUL FREEDOM -- UPDATE REGARDING NEW MUSIC
June 28, 2024
after almost three decades of band history and nine studio albums truthful artistic freedom means to me to consciously integrate time as shaping force into the origination process.
That is, to really take one's time, to really give various approaches a go, to really experiment freely, to pause deliberately for a new possible perspective, to consciously take a few steps back on a chosen path in order to reach another branch point.
Only passing time reveals by and by which ideas that we explore have timeless substance to them...
In times like these in which only breathlessness seems to intensify and the unceasing acceleration on all levels seems to undermine or even suffocate essential areas of life and seemingly tends to force us to stick to the surface of everything, it's crucial to me as a human being as well as an artistic adventurer to elude this blinding pull in all clarity.
It's true a Dornenreich album takes a lot of time these days, it needs stages of active dedication as well as periods of silence, of distance.
The time it takes to fall into place therefore is as unpredictable as the final shape itself because Dornenreich digs deep, its core relies on intuition and it is obliged to life and vividness exclusively. You know that. It has always been that way with Dornenreich.
And in being that way Dornenreich couldn't be more anachronistic, it couldn't be more opposed to the current forces within human society, nevertheless – or perhaps precisely because of that – it feels so very right to free oneself from the dominant craze of the all-conquering logics of algorithmic acceleration.
Consequently, I can't tell you today when our new album will be released exactly, but what I can tell you is that it will come with a presence, atmosphere and strength that will unfold in ways that one rarely finds anymore. And as you know after all these years it's that kind of quality of artistic expression only that Dornenreich has always been about.
According to its perceptive and clear-sighted deeper nature Dornenreich is a beacon in the midst of a dimming human world, a flame which all of you nurture with your passion.
Thankful, confident, passionate
Eviga for Dornenreich

ENRAPTURED AND PRESENT
June 10, 2024
the upcoming ANCIENT CEREMONIES acoustic concerts will be as gripping as dreamful - within particularly dense atmosphere.
The share of tickets still available for the concerts melts away quickly. Apart from Kassel and Graz even in Wörgl more than 50% of the tickets are sold by now, which delights us and hopefully reminds some of you to become active before it's too late...
As we frequently get asked about possible concerts in Switzerland: there are no concerts in Switzerland in the planning stage at the moment, so regarding spatial proximity we would like to draw the attention of our loyal Swiss audience to our concert in Freiburg on the 5th of October. It will be our first concert in Freiburg ever.
While we create the setlist for the tour here right now we look forward to the concerts. To meet many of you again in person will be an invigorating experience!

FREIHEIT (FREEDOM)...
May 27, 2024
To me both albums mean a lot anyway as they mark significant changes within Dornenreich as well as within my personal life. However, seen with distance, in retrospect and separated from their personal meaning to me one can tell that these albums are highly ambitious and comprehensive regarding their conception, their unique arc of suspense, their depth, I think.
Therefore it's hardly surprising that the setlist of our upcoming acoustic concerts will include songs of these albums. And in spite of the setlist's natural IN LUFT GERITZT-focus nearly every Dornenreich album will be represented.
By the way: In Graz und Kassel a good half of the available tickets are gone by now. So, you better get your tickets soon in case - up to now - you have only planned to live through these nights together with us:
20.09. AT - Graz / Explosiv
21.09. AT - Wörgl / Komma

CONCERT PASSION!
April 15, 2024
Consequently, we are so very much looking forward to play in Berlin twice within the frame of Walpurgisnacht Vol. III (De Mortem et Diabolum) on the 26th and 27th of April! Our last appearance in Berlin dates back to 2016, so, it's about time, Berlin, right!?
Besides, we are also very, very much looking forward to our "Arcane Ceremonies" acoustic tour in September/October - just as you apparently are given the fact that a good half of the tickets for Graz have already been sold!
So, secure your tickets soon: Ticket-Infos
See you!

DECEMBER THOUGHTS
December 27, 2023
And as the year itself is coming to its end we would like to turn to you in greater detail as it has become tradition by now.
To begin with we would like to thank you once again for your precious and still sparkling loyalty and secondly we would like to glimpse at things to come together with you.
Aside from our two concerts in Berlin in April and our acoustic concerts in Wörgl and Graz in September we are working on some more concert confirmations for 2024. However, our definite main focus will be on activities that are connected with the elaboration and development of a new album.
As many of you will know we challenge - or even reinvent - ourselves with every single studio album and as you might imagine the vision all around this forthcoming - and highly symbolic - 10th album, which will be a conceptual album once again, is particularly ambitious in many regards. And as all that in the case of Dornenreich isn't just a promotional overstatement you won't be too surprised to hear that it – still – will take quite some time until we will be able to entrust you with this album in its final shape.
Nevertheless I dare to state even now that this very album – at its core – will rely on everything Dornenreich has been resonating with in the course of all these past years: soul, emotional urgency, strength - a conscious stream of energy.
So, in times and spheres of continuous isolation, fragmentation and alienation that seem to undermine our human societies by and by this core, this energy, this consciousness, this spirit is where we all are truly one. And as I perceive it that has a soothing and deeply fortifying quality to it.
For now and on behalf of Dornenreich I would like to wish you and all your beloved ones out there a close and peaceful ending of this year and I would like to, once more, thank you that you are still walking by our side – noticeably so.
We shall see you again!
