Meinhard - Alchemusic II – Coagula
Galleries:

"Alchemusic II – Coagula" brings the song cycle of Meinhard's two-part magnum opus to a monumental close. Strictly in line with the release's motto, the Chris Harms (Lord Of The Lost) produced album features a myriad of musical liaisons, among them a duet with scene-superstar Chris Pohl (Blutengel). Meinhard on new album, musical visionary, lateral thinker, rare bird and sonic alchemist, has set out to fuse lyrical rollercoaster rides with a diverse array of musical styles, from dark metal via medieval folk straight down to cabaret, all sprinkled with a heavy victorian-gothic-tinge, thus creating a highly addictive monster of goth-rock-opera. 
The massive production provides the wildly emotional ride with just the right amount of bang and tumbles the listener head-on into an alchemusical maelstrom of dark atmosphere, playful madness and harsh power. The release not only features the Meinhard + Blutengel-collaboration "Kinder der Sterne", which sees the prince of darkness and the mad alchemist engage in a mesmerizing duet, but producer Chris Harms also didn't need to be asked twice for a vocal contribution to "This Misery." Furthermore, his colleagues in Lord Of The Lost, Gared Dirge and Tobias Mertens, provided some additional visionary musical input and Comte Caspar (Coppelius), Marcus Engel (Rabia Sorda) and Erik Damköhler (A Life Divided) all contributed to this artistic attempt of synthesizing the true sonic equivalent of the sorcerer's stone.
