Bio
BIOGRAPHY:
Todesbonden, founded by Laurie Ann Haus (Autumn Tears, Ephemeral Sun, Nest, Rain Fell Within, Garden of Shadows) is a doom metal, atmospheric, renaissance, ethnic, Celtic, medieval, and classically influenced project taking the listener on a fantastic musical journey of fantasy, longing, and a time long past.
Using a mix of catchy trance-inducing melodies, interwoven with soft melodic piano, breathtaking and versatile vocals, heavy, dark, and classical guitar, and emotional violins, Todesbonden attempts to create a sound to touch the inner heart and soul of every listener.
Drawing on her classical/renaissance training, Laurie mixes ancient influences with modern sounds to create original compositions such as "Sun and Venus,” and reinterprets traditional renaissance songs such as "Flow My Tears" and "Sorrow Stay," by Dowland.
In 2003 Laurie recruited Jason A. Wood (Ol Sonuf, X-Ephemeral Sun, X-Rain Fell Within) on guitar/bass/programming and Patrick Geddes (The Groaning) on violin for the Stormbringer EP, in 2004.
Laurie is currently working with Jason Ian Vaughn Eckert (X-Aurora Borealis, X- Rain Fell Within) on Bass, Jason A Wood on guitars, Patrick Geddes on violin, James Lamb on keyboards, and Allen Brunelle (Tempustry, X-Iluvatar, X-Dark Aether Project) on drums/percussion for their upcoming album "Ghost of the Crescent Moon" to be released on Prophecy Productions in early 2006. Also featured on this album will be A. Tolonen (Nest, Shape of Despair, Mist and the Morning Dew) playing Kantele.
REVIEW QUOTES
"...I have not heard such deep and beautiful music
since the early works of The 3rd and the Mortal." By
Thor, LEGACY Magazine
"Todesbonden founder Laurie Ann Haus has done time in
several eclectic, well rounded acts-Autumn Tears,
Ephemeral Sun, Rain Fell Within-but I seriously think
that her work with Todesbonden is probably her best. "
Adrian Bromley, UNRESTRAINED! Magazine
"I won't exaggerate if I say that the music presented
here is what I really love: haunting atmosphere,
simplicity, and yet sophistication, nice melodies and
wonderful vocals." Marta, CURSED WITH OBLIVIAN
"Todesbonden is really on to something exceptional
here and it should be interesting to follow them in
the coming years." Blackwinged, LUNAR HYPNOSIS
