Tvangeste is a Russian dark metal band from Kaliningrad . The band name was taken over from the Prussian castle Twangste in the area of the later Königsberg , which was destroyed in 1255 by the knights of the Teutonic Order .
history
Tvangeste were founded accepted by vocalist Michael "Miron" Chirva until the project nearly two years later, official trains in August 1996 and the Single Blood Dreams , as well as the demo Thinking ... brought forth. At that time the band consisted of Miron (electric guitar, vocals), Nikolay Kazmin (electric guitar), Victoria (keyboard) and Vano Mayoroff (electric bass). With this line-up, the first official album Damnation of Regiomontum was released in 2000 . The year 2002 was all about the second album, titled FireStorm , which - after the rather mediocre production quality of the predecessor - underwent an extensive maturation process and was recorded with the help of the Baltic Symphonic Orchestra and the Prussian Chamber Choir . Furthermore, Naturelle, the singer's wife, who also left the guitar entirely to Nikolay Kazmin, took over the position of keyboard player and Cezar Mielko took part as session drummer.
In April 2005 Michael "Miron" and Naturelle Chirva immigrated to Canada . An album in which Andy LaRocque would take over the production was announced for 2006, but never appeared. Since then it has been quiet around the band.
Music genre
Tvangeste play dark metal in the style of Cradle of Filth , Moonsorrow and Therion with screeching vocals, female vocal parts and orchestral elements. The music oscillates between black metal and pagan metal . The texts deal with Prussian history and mythology.
