OWL

Owl biography
OWL is a solo Progressive Death Metal project from Christian KOLF, a prolific German mulch-instrumentalist that built a strong underground reputation with his main bands ISLAND, VALBORG and WOBURN HOUSE. The self-titled debut album was recorded at DH Studios, January to July 2010, with KOLF handling vocals and all main instruments (guitars, bass, synthesizers). Patrick SCHRÖDER handled session drums.

The first half of "Owl" features 35 minutes of dark and brutal doom-death metal characterized by long adventurous songs and KOLF's signature chromatic riffing style. In total contrast with this dense metallic intensity, the album concludes with a 30 minute progressive ambient piece, very similar to the music that KOLF released in the 2000's under the name of FASER.
While the first half of the album should please metal fans that might be intrigued by a mix of early ANATHEMA and VOIVOD, the second half is for fans of ENO and tranquil ambient music from the 70's German school.
