Totengeflüster

In the year 2007 Totleben began writing his first songs. His musical interest were bound to his inspirational roots. He had combined the coldness and anger of black metal with elements of classical music to get an aggressive and cinematic feeling for his music. But his music should not just be instrumental, there for contacting his good friend Narbengrund. Since Narbengrund's talent for writing lyrics were just perfect for the ideas Totleben had in mind, Narbengrund was made a founding member of black metal act "Totengeflüster" (Whisper Of The Dead). The main goal for Totleben and Narbengrund was to create a coherent and sophisticated piece of art. In this time Totleben was also creating artworks and illustrations for bands such as Necronomicon (Canada), Imperium Dekadenz (Ger), Lyfthrasyr (Ger) and Unlight (Ger). Through his close contact to the bands he met Schattendorn, an already active death metal drummer. Schattendorn told Totleben about his interest in playing in his black metal project. So Schattendorn had by this time become a prominent session and live drummer of Totengeflüster.
