Sanguis et Cinis

Sanguis et Cinis, an Austrian gothic rock band, made their distinctive mark on the alternative music scene with their unique meld of genres and an unmistakable dark wave aesthetic. Formed in the early 1990s, the band’s name, translating to "Blood and Ashes" from Latin, echoes the moody and often melancholic tone of their lyrical and musical compositions. Their frontperson, Eve Evangel, became a recognizable figure within the gothic subculture, not only for her vocal prowess but also for her stylistic contribution to the band's overall image and performance art.

Their discography reflects a journey of evolution within the gothic genre, amalgamating elements of rock, darkwave, and even hints of electronica. Albums like "Amnesia" showcase their ability to weave a deep narrative through music, while "Th1rte3n" and "Madrigal" represent their maturity in sound, exploring complex emotional landscapes. "Wie der unberührte Traum einer Jungfrau" stands as one of their earliest and most iconic works, cementing their reputation within the gothic niche. Later releases such as "Alright, Let's Rock!" and "Fremde Federn" highlight the band's willingness to experiment and the breadth of their musical influences. The compilation "Tragic Years - A Collection of Early Releases & More" serves not just as a retrospective but also as an entry point for new listeners to understand the rich history and artistic depth of Sanguis et Cinis.
