history
The band was founded in 2005 under the name Beltane . In 2008 she released her album Expressionist, recorded at Woodhouse Studios . The name indicates influences of expressionist literature on the band. Corresponding quotations from Georg Trakl , August Stramm and Georg Heym are presented on the CD. The CD received good reviews, also internationally. The band gained first attention in the scene as a result of their debut.
After two band members left shortly after the CD was released, bassist Marius Borjans switched to guitar. Daniel Woyke joined the band as a new bass player. As a result, the name changed to "Pictura". To promote the upcoming album, the band released the five-track EP Rebirth in late 2010 , which received good reviews. The concept album The Equilibration Of Minds, Part I has been in production since the beginning of 2012. It was published on May 30, 2014.
