First day with concerts on Wave Gotik Treffen on the Felsenkeller.
Beautiful venue but lot of heat there so i did a break and went outside during Press Gang Metropol.

There is only one Ahráyeph : that's us. The brainchild of self taught musician and producer Raf, thrown into existence kicking and screaming (mostly screaming, on an awful sounding demo with sophomoric song lyrics to boot) back in 1996 under the name Crucifire, then continued around the turn of the century under this new moniker. There can be only one.

2007 saw the Mk. I version of the band on stage, opening up for UK Goth Rock darlings N.F.D., receiving praises from Tony Pettitt himself (if you are here, you know who the man is and what his musical credentials are), as he was amazed it was their first ever concert as a band. They were brazen enough to play 'Blue Water' in his honour as we was onlooking.
2008 saw the release of debut album 'Marooned On Samsara', through the eager distribution channels of D-Monic Records.
2009 saw the first incarnation of the band unceremoniously sacked for lack of dedication and prevalence to skiing holidays in midsummer over playing festivals.
2010 showed promise and a slow return to form in the Flying V clad shape of new guitar player Xavi, joining quickly enough to do a one off gig at the first and probably only Spain Gothic Festival, as well as the late addition of keyboard player Ness in the very snowy depths of winter.
2011 was spent readying this new formation, as well as auditioning demos for the new record, to be released in 2012, and the ambition to unleash a bunch of videoclips onto the unsuspecting masses.

Not only will 2012 give rise to a new Ahráyeph record, it will also see the Mk.II version of the band assault various stages in various countries, but mostly Germany. And this is a band that is more ambitious than ever, the more adversity they encounter. To be continued, indefinitely...
