Biography

(1999 – present)

In 1999, together with Grant Stevens (songwriter of “Everlasting Friends” from the Holsten Pilsener TV spot) and José Alvarez-Brill (Wolfsheim, Joachim Witt, De/Vision) the foundation for Unheilig was laid by Der Graf.
Unheilig (Unholy) is a German band which fuses heavy guitars, dancable beats and a dose of infectious synth-driven melodicism with the brooding croon of Der Graf (The Count) presiding over it all. It ends up being a very tasty combination, unlike alot of bands which play a similar combination of elements. The dance / electronica aspect of the music is not done in such excess as to scare off the casual listener, and serves rather to infuse the songs with a nice depth of atmosphere, as well as some very solid groove.
They are stylistically connected to the Dark Culture.

    They sounds somtimes much like muy once favourite Rammstein, but they have more beautiful and deep lyrics, that's why I loved them. And of course they have a rather wide range of styles, everyone can find smth for him/herself.

    Hi katybdi :) i've got the same problem, but i use translator :P Peoples have totally different thoughts about unheilig and now is so much bitching and hating because Unheilig achieved big success in Germany and it is no more underground music. For me as far i remember, for more than 7 years Unheilig is my favorite band from Phospor time till know, yes many things changed, but for there is still some kind of magic in this music, in Graf personality and voice, every single album was a revolution....but my favorite still remain the darkest Das 2. Gebot, but i still realy like Lichter der Stad... especially its acoustic version that is far much more emotional...

    Unheilig hat eine neues Subgenre der Popmusik begründet: den Gothpop.

    Well, since Heino is now invited to Wacken Open Air and apparently fair game for german "rock music", what about a little Heino feat. Der Graf?
