Coppelius is a unique band hailing from Germany, celebrated for their theatrical performance style and their intriguing blend of chamber music with heavy metal elements. Dubbed as a "chamber metal" or "steampunk" band by fans and critics alike, Coppelius stands out with their use of classical instruments such as cello, clarinet, and double bass, to create a sound that is at once familiar in its classical roots and novel in its rock and metal fusion. The band members adopt a Victorian-era aesthetic, donning formal attire, top hats, and monocles, which adds an air of 19th-century elegance to their energetic live performances.

Since their inception in 1997, Coppelius has diligently crafted a niche for themselves in the music scene. Their latest endeavors, such as the single "Abwärts," showcase their continued evolution and commitment to their unique sound. Songs like "Rainmaker," "Dark Ice," and a bold cover of System of a Down's "Chop Suey" offer a glimpse into their diverse range of influence and their prowess in merging genres. With "Mein Grab" and "Bloodline," they affirm their lyrical depth alongside their instrumental intensity. Through releases like "Kryptoxenoarchäologie," "Nur für Dich," "Locked In," and the curiously titled "Kammerarchiv," Coppelius continues to build a discography that is as theatrically entertaining as it is musically rigorous, captivating a fan base that appreciates the finer nuances of both classical and metal music forged into one.
