Die Kammer

Season V: Maybe forgotten. Maybe glorious. On the new, fifth "Kammer" album, the duo Marcus Testory and Matthias Ambré reinvent themselves in an intense way, while remaining true to themselves. It is this special, unique symbiosis that defines the unique sound of the Kammer. Testory's powerful, concise voice, surrounded by bittersweet cello lines, embedded in semi-acoustic soundscapes. Catchy, rousing, anthemic refrains and hooklines create the typical positive melancholy that permeates the "chamber music" oeuvre. Whimsical and morbid stories that are characterised by injury, transience and death, but also by an unwavering, passionate lust for life. Spiced with subtle sarcasm, subtle social criticism, autobiographical experiences and personal adventures. The new album and the accompanying "Season" may be the most serious, melancholic and mature in the band's history to date. Nevertheless, Die Kammer on Season V is refreshingly open and experimental. The new sound is also due to a previous line-up change during the coronavirus period: The original larger line-up was reduced to a four-piece formation - acoustic guitars, cello and bass. Stylishly supplemented with electronic sound elements and powerful pulsating beats.
