POTENTIA ANIMI sign to Staupa Musica worldwide!
Metal Blade Records go medieval! No, not at all!
But as some of you might know, Metal Blade started a sublabel called Staupa Musica in 2004. In the beginning it was meant to bring German medieval music into all of Europe. The first two albums that Staupa Musica released outside of Germany were CORVUS CORAX Seikilos and POTENTIA ANIMIs Das erste Gebet.
In the beginning of 2006 POTENTIA ANIMI decided to work together with Staupa Musica in Germany as well. As a result their second sin, Psalm II, will be released in Germany, Austria and Switzerland on April 28th (May 1st in the rest of Europe).
Expect the five monks in best shape, telling again some (un)holy stories about the treasures and secrets that are hidden behind church walls (and that were meant to remain there!). Be lead into temptation by hypnotic medieval rhythms and archaic choirs and chants combined with poppy choruses and elements of modern (Hard) Rock. Frivolous and waggish lyrics, not quite meant to be taken seriously, are served on top.
In February the German press already had the chance to have a listen to this masterpiece of medieval music with a modern approach! Listen what they experienced:
Someone who links medieval instruments and sacral choirs to dusty and quixotic church music, should experience POTENTIA ANIMI. Its a musical and lyrical kick in the ass. They play a unique mixture of whimsical and cheeky lyrics below the waistline, guitar riffing and perfectly trained choirs. These monks couldnt be more entertaining! Andreas Kais, Metal Heart Germany
Psalm II is a real masterpiece! [ ] These monks have the unique ability to arouse even extremely uptight people! Thomas Manegold, www.subkultur.com
