Since the beginning of time, mankind has dreamt up, conceived
and often feared dark worlds, mysterious myths, folklore and
utopias, due to their inconceivable and menacing nature. The
dark of night, with its myriad creatures, often hard to spot for
those that do not listen or watch attentively, holds a similar
fascination. It is from these spheres that Mina Harker gathers
the inspiration for her tales, which are oh so perilous,
surreal, outstanding and passionate. The songs are interpreted
in a highly individualistic manner, carried by a powerful voice
that can be as fragile as an angel and in the next moment harsh
and relentless, but that always integrates itself passionately
into the wild mood swings of the music.

The highly polished song arrangements, built around the hard
guitar sounds of Alexander Gorodezki, who, together with Mina
Harker, forms the creative core of the band, are an effective
counterpoint to the emotional vocals. Both Mina and Alexander
are very fond of opulent and atmospheric electronic sounds as
well, thus creating a dark digital aesthetic that effectively
transports passion and power into songs full of character and
with never too much pathos or dejection, carefully arranged and
perfectly produced with delicate German lyrics.

For "Bis zum Tod", the band collaborated with Dero from Oomph!,
who duets with Mina on one of the best songs from the album.

"Tiefer" is an irresistible experience that will drown you in
velvety yet relentless waves!
