WOBURN HOUSE

Woburn House biography
WOBURN HOUSE is an Atmospheric/Progressive/Sludge Metal band from Bonn in Germany. The band started in 2005 as a 3 piece, consisting of Christian KOLF (guitar/vocals), Fabian FABIAN (Bass, Vocals) and Florian TOYKA (Drums), and recorded two albums in this configuration, the debut "Message to Ourselves Outside the Dreaming Machine" in 2006 and "Monstrous Manoeuvres in the Mushroom Maze" in 2009. As of 2011, FABIAN left and the remaining duo recorded their third album "Sleep Summer Storm" without him.

The band's music is takes a unique position in post-metal by combining Sludge, Post-Metal and psychedelic Floydian influences with dissonant chords and highly chromatic doom riffs. WOBURN HOUSE's first two albums sound like a slightly less aggressive version of INTRONAUT's earlier material. Their 2011 "Sleep Summer Storm" is softer, with a goth-y atmosphere and lots of dreamy clean guitar arpeggios resembling FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM or even ANATHEMA's "Judgement".
