Bio:

Truly, some bands do not follow an easy path, and the MINOTAURUS formation from the Bavarian Untermain certainly belongs to this category.After "The First Labyrinth" had crossed the "The First Labyrinth" with three songs in 1997, only a year later the "Dragonbone Throne" was hit with four other business cards."Path Of Burning Torches" came out in the year 2000 the long-sighted first longplayer, 2001 followed with "Carnyx", a tribute to the ice-age instrument of the Celts, the next release.After two kinking folkmetal albums, a year later they were consciously more moderate ways and brought out an EP with acoustic pieces with "The Silent Cave". The songs show the soft side of MINOTAURUS for the first time, singing the romantic facet of the music of the Middle Ages, which is often presented on lutes.On "Myth Or Reality" (2004), traditional paths were again taken, but the wistful folk character was from then on an elementary component of many compositions, "Myth" most impressively in the powerballade "Warriorhearts", the soundtrack to the film "Kriegerherzen" hear."The Lonely Dwarf" from 2009 is a concept album that tells the story of a lonely dwarf - somewhere between folk and metal. With this album, the band discovered their taste for elaborate video clips, which should become an integral part of the MINOTAURUS catalog.After several changes of the band, the band is breaking new ground on their eighth silver album "The Call" (2013): the songs MINOTAURUS is beginning to sound, harder, more modern and more elaborate. But the Aschaffenburger never lose sight of their musical roots. In their 20-year existence, they have always retained their musical autonomy and will continue to do so in the future.

Album:

The Ancient Epic Metal band named after the mythical creature - is back this autumn 2016 with a new album. For more than two decades of the Minotaurs have been touring Germany and, after four LPs and four EPs, are now releasing their fifth longplayer "Insolubilis". "Insolubilis" means insoluble, undisputed and irrefutable, all characteristics which MINOTAURUS has been over 20 years. With a new line-up and extended instrumentation, the band presents us with hymn-like melodies with a dash epic, doom and folk. Three years after their last album "The Call" the path again took them to Rolf Munkes in the Empire Studios where the album received its final polish. And there's a video clip to go with the new album - we can not wait.We had to wait three-and-a-half year for the follow up of the Minotaurus album ‘The Call’, but now it’s here. They called their new album ‘Insolublis’, Endless in Latin.Their previous album wasn’t too bad at all, but I like the things a bit more unpolished and slightly heavier. When we’re talking about these German folk-rockers, I like their album ‘The Lonely Dwarf’ the most. What would ‘Insobulis’ bring?Well, this album brings us more of the songs like we know from ‘The Call’, not bad at all, but like I said ‘it sounds a bit too polished’. The guitars seem to like to give it all a solid taste, but the guitars play they part a bit to dutiful. It’s there, but it lacks a bit of spirit.The vocals seem to have their same old struggle. The clean male and female vocals can be very nice together like in ‘Only a Dream’ where they complement each other in a very nice way. But in ‘Cemetery’ it’s too much, it would sound a bit nicer when only one of the two vocalists would sing the main part of the song.This album peaks with ‘Bonfire Brothers’ with nice flutes and ‘Legend’ with lots of alternations. It’s in these songs where you can hear the potential of Minotaurus. All elements I like are there, but they just don’t seem to get out in the other songs.The title-track at the end of this album is a nice composition, the band tells us a whole little story in this over 8 minutes long track. And again they show they seem very aware of the possibilities of the mix of vocals. The song is a good showcase, but the length of the song makes it somewhat less catchy.‘Insolubilis’ is a decent album by Minotaurus. Their fans will appreciate it. Especially when you liked their previous album, you would like this as well.

Album:

In 2019 the Ancient Epic Metal band Minotaurus from Aschaffenburg celebrates their 25th anniversary. The 6-member troupe will produce their sixth long player with "Victims Of The Underworld" and release their anniversary edition with the remastered CD "The First Labyrinth".

To achieve this goal, Minotaurus wants to make YOU a part of our crowdfunding project.Minotaurus is an ancient epic metal band founded in 1994 in Aschaffenburg, and presented their debut album as Maxi CD "The First Labyrinth". "Myth Or Reality was followed by the first long player with the song "Warrior Hearts" which was used as the title song for the eponymous German movie. All productions until the album "The Lonely Dwarf" were produced on their own. In 2013 they produced the album "The Call" which was released under the worldwide renowned German label Limb Music (former home of Rhapsody, Pagan's Mind, Ancient Bards, Dragony and others). 2016 was followed by the grand album "Insolubilis" which was produced by Rolf Munkes (guitarist of Crematory).Few local successes, the band not only acted as local support for many well-known bands such as Subway To Sally, Freedom Call, Fire Tail, and other bands of the Middle Ages Meatls. The band has been releasing a video clip for each long player since "Myth Or Reality", directed by e (h) Erlebnisfilm.Celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2019, Minotaurus hopes to release a new music video clip, "Victims Of The Underworld", which will be released as Double EP, including the remastered first maxi CD "The First Labyrinth" tie.

Album:

With their timeline stretching back to 1997, and now 8 releases under their belt, our Celtic brothers have stood the test of time in the ugly realm known as the Music Business. It is a harsh mistress, but lo, Peter Scheu and his fellow mates have persevered and ridden out the storms, with good reason. "The Call" is their latest release, combining some interesting aspects of metal, Celtic, and Folk themes to bring forth a rugged, almost rustic sounding album. This proved to be an interesting journey for yours truly.I am quite fond of the Pagan / Folk / Viking bands, and relish the opportunity to review such music, with this being no exception. As a whole, I found "The Call" to have some bright moments of metal mixed with a few not so shining moments. The vocals are very traditional, with a few songs such as "Princess Of Destruction" having a few screams to rile the listener. The backing vocals weren’t always on the mark, and at times, a wee bit painful, especially on "Varus Battle". The guitar work is pretty good, driving and free spirited, with at times, a Power Metal feel to it such as on "Love Song". "Chains Of Captivity" has some great solos on it. The keyboards are almost non-existent, which is unfortunate since they can lend so much to a song. Drum work is good but standard, which the same for the bass. Not bad by any means, but throughout most of the songs they are just, there. The production quality isn’t the best with the album sounding very bottom heavy. Again, not bad but not stellar either. For a rating, I would say a 6 out of 10. Until next time, stay well, and live free!
