Detailierte Künstler Informationen: Noneuclid

Black Metal und Ambient kennt man zur Zeit ja mehr als genug... Weniger erprobt ist dagegen eine experimentelle Herangehensweise an Thrash/Death Metal: Orchester, Orientalisches oder gar Instrumente der Marke Eigenbau kombiniert mit den härteren Gefilden des Metal. Paradebeispiel: NONEUCLID - aus Landshut, Deutschland.

NONEUCLID was formed as a band in the summer of 2004 in Landshut / Germany, after the name had served for a few years as a “drawer” for loose Metal-related studio productions of composer / guitarist Morean. The name Noneuclid refers to dimensions outside conventional reality as defined by Greek mathematician Euclid, and their music strives to open mental doors to the worlds beyond.

Morean, after having grown up in the same Thrash Metal basement as his fellow bandmembers from the Bavarian province, moved to the Netherlands in ‘94 to study flamenco guitar with Paco Peña at the conservatory of Rotterdam. In 2001, he graduated cum laude in classical composition at the same school, after which he found himself unexpectedly infected with a blooming career as a contemporary composer.

His works earned him international composition prizes and nominations, broad media exposure, world-wide performances with distinguished international orchestras, ensembles and soloists in concerts and on renowned festivals (a.o. Tanglewood, Gaudeamus, Moscow Autumn, November Music, Filmfestivals of Cannes and Rotterdam). His oevre comprises symphonic music, concertos, chamber music, electronics, film scores, dance and multimedia productions as well as world music / crossover projects.

Morean has always believed in extreme Metal as a highly original, virtuosic and expressive art form, and, despite the diverse nature of his music, he has never been able to deny his musical roots. Every single one of his pieces has used their elements, be it growls, heavy guitars, brutal riffs or blastbeats, if necessary presented in “respectable” symphonic halls by classical orchestras.

Considering this chronical adrenaline addiction, the founding of a pure metal band was only a logical consequence. Recruiting some old friends which are normally rocking in bands like Dark Fortress, The Shroud and The Grapefruit Dead, Noneuclid was set up as a live band in july 2004. One psychotic month later, most of the self-produced first album THE CRAWLING CHAOS was recorded, of course on a nonexistent budget and under extreme time pressure. It took a while, but Merciless Records were the first to find the courage to release something as unpredictable as this first manifesto of cosmic death.
