„Schattenkinder“ is a Darkwave / Heavenly Voices band from Saxony that has existed since the beginning of 2003. Five musicians, that together create the unique style, come together. Besides Darkwave and Heavenly Voices the hearer will also recognize leanings toward Gothic, Neoclassic, Folk, Jazz and Trip-Hop. Both female lead singers, Katharina and Madeleine, enchant with their elf-like voices, when they in dream-like melodies sing of lost worlds and magical times. Founder and keyboard player Reiner surprises especially with intricate sounds and curious rhythms. Accompanying is Katja with classical violin and Chinese Erhu, with which she lends the songs a slightly oriental touch. Sven on electric guitar and bass provides the necessary drive. A characteristic of "Schattenkinder" is the romantically melancholic lyrics, through which the band discovers the Babel of languages. In 2004, „Schattenkinder“ have released their debut album „Vision of Nightfall“, which evokes Gothic and Middle-age-like scenes. In February 2008, „Weisser Regen“ follows released under the label „Curzweyhl“. „Weisser Regen“, in comparison to the debut album, comes across as more diverse and mature and is accompanied live by an elaborately produced video show.
