June 11th, 2011, was a landmark date in Empyrium's history. After more than 15 years, Schwadorf and Helm played their very first show ever on that day, taking place at the Wave Gotik Treffen in the Pantheon of Volkspalast Leipzig. For this memorable event, the two core members put together an illustrious concert line-up, consisting of Konstanz (The Vision Bleak), Neige (Alcest), Eviga (Dornenreich), Fursy Teyssier (Les Discrets), Aline Deinert (Neun Welten) and Christoph Kutzer (Remember Twilight), who had rehearsed pieces from every creative phase of Empyrium as well as the new, so-far unreleased song "Dead Winter Ways". 

Empyrium - Intro

Neun Welten - Pan

Auerbach Tonträger is aiming to support and release music that -- due to a predominantly acoustic setting and a tranquil character -- can be described as contemporary folk music in the widest sense of the word. Contemporary insofar as the artists often include modern influences in their individual brands of nature-inspired or folk music. While the world around us is getting louder all the time, the music released on Auerbach is like a multi-facetted counterpart, based on the self-awareness of totally different musicians. Be it serene soul-searching, various settings-to-music of landscapes, or vital and personal interpretations of traditional motifs -- one thing is for sure: Auerbach Tontraeger is not here to impose restrictions on the new Folk, but to unite visions old and new with an individual touch and a lot of feeling.
