Von Thronstahl vi accompegnarenno in un viaggio a ritoros nel tempo per riscoprire e lucidare la antiche glorie storiche del nostro passato . Madre euroa ringrazia, Noi sogniamo ancora.......




1- First of all i have a thanx to you, because listen your music is a really trip in the deeper abyss of my epic soul ....please can you tell me something of your bio ? probably in Italy you are know only by bit of people.

Raymond and me (Josef K) startet in 1979 and 82 as kind of punkrocking teeneagers and twens; we played together in bands like AUS 98 and CIRCLE OF SIG TIU. In the early 90's I formed FORTHCOMING FIRE and released many CDs. With VON THRONSTAHL we concentrate on our secret European culture. VON THRONSTAHL is our 'coming home', our return - the end of an odysee. Raymond also has a solo-project "The Days of the Trumpet Call" which is more instrumental, also in the classiszistic Newropean way.


2- Is there a deep reason to write and compose your type of art ? What is ?
It's because we have returned. - This is the sound of the secret Europe, the IMPERIUM EUROPÄUM. This is EUROPE not L.A.! ..and this is the way to sound.


3- Sorry but i don't speak German and for this reason i would some explanation about the lyrics , thanx !
The basic idea of the lyrics is attached to the RISE of the secret Europe, the rise if the Imperium from deep inside. It is not so much a music 'against' everything that must fall, but more 'for' our ideas of Europe.


4- Its too much marked an warrior side in your music, (for example in "Sturmzeit"), so what your concept of WAR and what you want represent in this song ?
"STURMZEIT" (STORMTIME) is a powerfull track with lots of world war II dramatics. Our way to assimilate the past, without morality, without limits, without excuses or questions of guilt.


5-Have a strong interest for Paganism and any ancient forms of religions and rituals ? If yes what you regret of the past and glorious period of our hystory ?
Paganism is not the main subject of our interest, though there in an interest of course - but also in old catholic or orthodox areas. ... Some good old things will return, in a new way.


6- What you hate in this society ?
It is not a question of hate - more the way of despise of a lot of the so-called modern culture. There is a lot which ought to be desised, very much.


7- Please, tell me a motive to hear your music and another for never hear Von Thronstahl ?
Taste may be one reason - but not the only. Farmore it is a question of spiritual attitude and ideas..


8-What your concept of DEATH ? Is there something after-life for you ?
Life does not end with death. There is something after and something before what is called life on earth.


9-What your fave bands ? And is there any bands have take many changes in your artistic point of you ?
Many bands - too many to name them all. We love so many bands with different styles and music.. But let us salute the Italian bands we worked together with, which we love and respect. KIRLIAN CAMERA, NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE, STALINGRAD, ANDROMEDA COMPLEX, ORDEAL, ARGINE, WASTELAND, CCM, KINA, RAW POWER, NEGTIONE - and many others from left to right.


10-What's the process to create a Von Thronstahl 's hymn ?
..VISION and INSPIRATION and yes- a little talent and handcraft perhaps.


11- A reason to live and another to death ?
A reason for life is to grow, to build .. and for death: to come again.


12- I'm an admirer of Adolf Hitler and the nazism-era. What do you think about this ?
Some great ideas and visions of that aera will rise again - in social ways, and also the classizistic architecture will rise again. What I like about this is the classical roman style which grew in that aera. I like Benito Mussolini- just read a book on him and his life and visions. - A great European son, a great European SUN - and my favorite Roman Imperator.


13- Please, end as you want and many thanx for your patience. Congratulations again and see ya soon !!
- Thanks a lot. Please excuse my short time and bad english. Hail the Romans from your German friends and brothers !
