New Klabautamann Album 'numbered' as Vinyl

• Tim Steffens - that's 'me', the main songwriter of Klabautamann screaming on some parts of the album and playing different instruments (guitar, bass, keys, mandolin) on it. Well, and as I'm the only permanent member in the 'band' I also do all the administration stuff (like this campaign :-) )
• Anna Murphy is known from Eluveiti (where she played some years ago), her band Cellar Darling and her 'self-titled' solo project. Being a musical super-talent singing and playing loads of different instruments (including hurdy-gurdy) was not enough for her and so she started a career as audio engineer at the Soundfarm studio in Switzerland. On this album she performed on one song (vocals, flute, mellotron) and acted as mixing engineer. Read more ...
• Tom Kvålsvoll is the mastering legend of the Norwegian black metal scene and has done albums Dimmu Borgir, Emperor, Mayhem and Valborg - as well as our record 'Merkur' and now also 'numbered'. For a long time he worked at Strype Audio in Oslo and just recently relocated to a small Island in front of Kristiansand where he runs his own studio 'Kvalsonic Lab' Read more ...
• Marlon Drescher is an incredibly gifted drummer whose play can already be heard on out first album 'Our Journey through the woods' and a long friend of mine. He has supported us on many gigs as singer or drummer. Besides his one man band projects Malus and Somnium Mortuum (where AFAIK he does EVERYTHING himself: playing, recording, mixing, artwork) he has a youtube channel Raw Future where he talks about vegan nutrition, self-supply and bike travels. We recorded the drums at his house in Hungary. Read more ...
• Andreas März is guitar player and singer at Steorrah - a proggy death metal band from Bonn who I admire a lot! He can be heard on 4 songs on 'numbered'. It was the first time we worked together - and I'm really impressed by the result! Read more ...
• Christoph Graf is a long time friend, fellow musician and hiking partner of mine. Together we roamed the wilderness in remote and feral mountain ranges and played on several stages and albums. His wife sings in their grind core band Excrete. On 'numbered' he plays the guitar on several tracks and helped me recording my guitar parts. Read more ...
• Stephan Otto is known from band like Nebelung and Serpent Eater where he plays bass - like on the last track of the new album. Even though I've known him for a quite a long time (Hansahaus 308 :-) ), it's actually the first time we did music together! I love it! Read more ...
• Stephan Wehrbein is a gifted singer, drummer and piano player - who is currently mainly involved with Screaming Souls and Servants to the Tide. We've started making music together 20 years ago, and it has always been a pleasure! Read more ...
• Ingo Kerstjens lives in Spain and is one of my oldest friends (I met him at school in Barcelona). He plays bass (at 400 Gramos), the piano and sings (very beautifully). We've done dozens of musical projects together - from wedding songs to death metal (My Dark Passenger) - and he can also be heard on 'Smaragd'. On 'numbered' he sings on 4 songs. Can't wait for the next project! Read more ...
• Chester Gerritse lives in the Netherlands and plays guitar & keyboard and sings. I got to know him via Ingo - and I think he was involved almost every musical project Ingo and I did. For me we form a "dream team" together - with everybody contributing completely different angles. On 'numbered' he wrote the lyrics for 3 songs - and also sang on 3 songs. Read more ...
• Gabor Schary plays bass at Trottoir. His fretless bass can also be heard on the first and only Skarab album (an earlier band project of mine). On 'numbered' he plays bass on 4 songs. Read more ...
• Nikolaus Garmsen is a relatively unknown, young and talented composer and audio engineer. He was also involved in the mix of 'Smaragd' some years ago. On 'numbered' he created very atmospheric synths for 2 songs.
• Thomas Hansen is a writer based in Ireland. He's a friend of the Zeitgeister clan, but I've actually never met him in person. With the internet it was still possible for him to contribute lyrics to 'Smaragd' - and on 'numbered' he is also responsible for the lyrics of 3 songs!
• Christopher Duis is a freelance graphic designer who you might know from his musical performance and his graphical work for his band Kerbenok. He is responsible for the artwork & layout on 'numbered'. It was the first time collaborating with him and I was very pleased with the creative process - as I am with the outcome! Read more ...
• Moritz Hellfritzsch is filmmaker based in Bonn. Aside from documentations and movies he has created music videos for bands like Jack Slater. He helps me with PR (I really suck at that) and his partner Anna Piotrowski have done a very cool and arty video for the song 'conflict' from our new album. Read more ...
