Spreu & Weizen

Spreu & Weizen is a martial neoclassical project from Munich, Bavaria, Germany, founded in June 2009 by Signore Paladino. In the beginning, the group consisted of two members, Sig. P. and Hagalaz. After a slight change in style, embodying, amongst others, black metal, neofolk and psychedelic elements, first concert plans were made, and guitarist Chris T. as well as flutist Iduna T. and Albrecht (bass) joined the group in the following year and left in June 2011. After a song on the free download compilation "Tribute to the dead soldiers Vol. II" and a track on the "Sturmreif" compilation, produced by Castellum Stoufenburc, the early releases of a split CD-R with Der Jäger and the first album "Gott Erhalt's" on UFA-Muzak (Russia) and Reminiscences Productions (China) lead to several collaborations with a number of other artists. Amongst others, a collaboration with German poet Uwe Lammla and German martial industrial project Von Thronstahl, which was based on Lammla's poem "Deutsche Passion", was received with great enthusiasm. The rapid sale of "Gott Erhalt's" was the cause to work on a re-release (Roman Edition) of the album with a bonus track on the label UFA-Muzak. In June 2011, their second album "Gott Vergelt's" was released by Lichterklang with a lot of collaboration partners like Karma Marata, Art Abscons, Rose Rovine E Amanti and Von Thronstahl. Especially Josef Maria Klumb was a guest member on this album. A concert in Salzburg, Austria, was cancelled by the organizers 'cause of strain by antifascist movement and local newspaper publishers. Just a few months after releasing their second album, the label Fronte Nordico (Russia) published a Split-LP between Von Thronstahl and Spreu & Weizen, called "Pan-European Christian Freedom Movement". They collaborated with Von Thronstahl once again on their last album "Corona Imperialis" with a couple of basic songs as a guest member, which was released by Trutzburg-Thule in October 2012. 2013 started with a exclusive remix called "Guerrieri Impavidi" on Lupi Gladius' album "Lucania" by Spreu & Weizen. At present, the group is working on their third album, called "Gott Entflamm's". It will be released in end 2013. This CD will, once again, feature several collaborations with international artists and the single "Gott Behüt's", which thematize the fall of jerusalem 1099 by christian crusaders. Besides this, the guitar player Raja Anak Matahari and Frater Occultus (synth and co-vocals) joined the band in January 2013.
