Gothminister Biography
GOTHMINISTER was formed by Bjørn Alexander Brem in 1999.
GOTHMINISTER has released the following albums;
Angel EP (2001)
Gothic Electronic Anthems (2003)
Empire of Dark Salvation (2005)
Happiness in Darkness (2008)
Anima Inferna (2011)
Utopia (2013)
The Other Side (2017)
Pandemonium (2022)
GOTHMINISTER’s singles and albums have hit charts all over the world;
Dusk till dawn (No 1 in US Alternative charts @vampirefreaks)
Utopia (top 100 trend charts Germany, top 100 Norway)
This is your darkness (No 1 Deutche alternative single charts), Pandemonum (No 1 Deutche Alternative album charts)
GOTHMINISTER`s newest album „Pandemonium“ (AFM Records), mixed and mastered by Henning
Verlage (Unheilig, Eisbrecher), is a long awaited powerhouse which exceeds the even highest
expectations.
Powerful, sometimes heavily downtuned metal riffs march relentlessly arm in arm with
huge orchestras and heavenly choirs.
The album was released October 2022 on AFM Records
followed by “Monsters United”, a special box set containing all music videos, CD-releases and never
before seen backstage video material.
The Master himself reveals an astonishing range of vocal-art on the new album “Pandemonium”:
from the deepest Gothic-dungeons up to the higher spheres of steaming Rock.
The title track of the 7th album from the Minister, «Pandemonium», takes us back to the new gothic
era around 1880 AC, where we find the city and kingdom of Gothminister under attack from its own
inhabitants. The old, mighty and evil king, played by Gothminister himself, faces chaos and uproar
among his own. But you should be careful what you wish for.
«He who fights monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster. And if thou gaze long
into an abyss, the abyss will gaze into the.» (“Wer mit Ungeheuern kämpft, mag zusehn, dass er nicht
dabei zum Ungeheuer wird. Und wenn du lange in einen Abgrund blickst, blickt der Abgrund auch in
dich hinein.”) (Friedrich Nietzche)
The king is dead. Long live the king!
LIVE GOTHMINISTER brings on a firework on stage with powerful sound, intense lights design,
zombiefights and all the monsters united. Gothminister live is an extraordinary experience.
