I'm Dane Holzschuh. This is my solo project. I ran out of free upload time, so check my bandcamp for further releases.

Musician // Guitarist // Mixer // Perth, WA

Cheers for stopping by and checking out my mixes! :)

Wir sind so underground, wir wissen selbst nicht wer oder was wir eigentlich sind und was wir hier tun!

Aber jedenfalls ist alles was ihr hier hören könnt selbst- und hausgemacht von uns Amateuren. We are really feeling it!
Also spürt es ruhig auch und lasst uns Anregungen oder sonst was da ihr Ficker :)

[Hier noch eine generische Beschreibung für die englischsprachigen unter euch, haha:

Heyho! 
We are kind of a young alternative/metal band from Germany, 
would be great if you could take a listen to our stuff ;D 

What can you expect from us?
Hopefully lots of different facets, from metal to latin, and so on :DD

Everything you will hear on here is (and will stay) free!
All the stuff is "produced" just by ourselves at home :D
But we try to improve with every track!
So please leave some feedback, cause we really appreciate your opinions!]


From the fertile grounds of Tilburg (NL) rises new contemporary metal outit AUTARKH, a group of musical extremists dedicated to pushing the boundaries of the auditory senses. Autarkh is the brainchild of Michel Nienhuis, founding member and composer/guitarist of DODECAHEDRON.  Assault (CZ), Roadburn Festival (NL) and Eurosonic (NL) amongst others.

Death and illness was closing in on Dodecahedron, triggering a conceptual transformaton that was necessary to effectuate Nienhuis’ artstic development. In the fall of 2019 Nienhuis teamed up with producer Joris Bonis (Dodecahedron, Ulsect), guitarist David Luiten and electronic composer / producer Tijnn Verbruggen, a set of musicians with backgrounds ranging from metal to techno. Autarkh’s first full length album ‘Form In Motion’ will be released the 12th of March 2021 through Season of Mist records.

AUTARKH takes a unique position in the world of extreme metal. Synthetic, IDM-style beats and glitch effects – reminiscent of those produced by artists such as Aphex Twin and Autechre – are perfectly balanced with overwhelming riffs and vocals that range from dark growls and exasperating screams to semi-clean harmonies. Together with fluttering blast beats, dense bass lines and eerie soundscapes these elements produce an intense and crystal clear tunnel of sound where the energy of contrasting emotions is constantly felt.

‘Form In Motion’ feels like an evolution in both sound and lyrical content from the two albums Nienhuis released with Dodecahedron. Musically, because of the radical approach the band takes with their rhythm section; lyrically because the album is more about a personal experience of human nature and the nature of the universe. The album takes us from unraveling storms and destructive chaos to transformation, liberation and fundamental shifts in understanding in order to align with the divine. That progression is also present in a linear sense – the intrusive uneasiness the album starts with gives way to a sense of epic victory towards the end.

Give yourself the opportunity to dive into this radical exploration of sonic and spiritual ideas and allow yourself to get inspired by what AUTARKH has to offer.
