2008 Ice Ages - Buried Silence Third release of the industrial / darkwave project of protector. Releated

2006 Die Verbannten Kinder Evas - Dusk And Void Became Alive Forth release of protectors dark wave project. With a new the new female singer Christina replacing Tania. Releated

2006 Oath Bound For us the music of "Oath Bound" follows rather the same style as the last album "Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame". The keyboards are as polyphonic and multi layered as on this release, and also the drums have the same style. The main difference are the guitars, which are this time much more dominant than before and play in a different style. Instead of the rather traditional staccato metal style of the last 2 releases, the guitars are not played in a much more relaxed arpeggio style, what gives the songs a more slow and more epic mood. As the reaction of the fans showed us, we realized that this change of the guitar style had a much greater effect than we expected. Even old Summoning fans that still consider "Dol Guldur" as the best Summoning album ever, started to like this release much more than the other fans. On the other side, fans of "Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame" got disappointed. Again we used self sung choirs for the album, but this time for 2 songs not only 1 song as on "Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame". In contrary to this release i had much better equipment which enabled us create much more choir tracks so the result is a more realistic sounding choir. Track-list: 1. Bauglir 2:58 2. Across The Streaming Tide 10:20 3. Mirdautas Vras 8:13 4. Might And Glory 8:26 5. Beleriand 9:27 6. Northward 8:39 7. Menegroth 8:12 8. Land Of The Dead 12:50 Summoning

2006 "The Realm Of Napalm Records" The Napalm Records DVD "The Realms Of Napalm Record" with videos and songs of Napalm Record bands was released today. One of our songs "Mirdautas Vras" was used as background music in the menue, and on the bonus audio CD the short version of our song "Land Of The Dead" can be heard. Releated

2006 Sworm Exclusive double CD label sampler from "Cold Spring" with new and unreleased stuff from the most important bands of this label. A musical variation from noise to neo classic, including an unreleased "Kreuzweg Ost" song with melody lines taken from the song "Across The Streaming Tide" from "Summoning". Releated

2005 Damnatus fan-film page Internet fan-film page dealing with the warhammer theme. The music section of this pages includes a lot of metal bands as well as a short version of the song "Farewell" from "Summoning". For the soundtrack there is planned to use an instrumental version of the song "In Hollow Halls Beneath The Fells" from "Stronghold". Damnatus Others

2005 Kreuzweg Ost - Edelrost Second release of Silenius industrial project. This time the music is less noisy but a good mixture between military industrial, neoclassical melodies and pounding rhythms. Again the concept is based mainly on military topics but also including religious themes. Releated

2003 Lost Tales This mini-album just contains two old songs from the times of Dol Guldur. One song was composed for Summoning (Saruman), the other one (Arcenstone) was meant to be for the dark wave project of Silenius called "Mirkwood", which was never released. The songs are not in high quality and just taken from the original tape were they have been recorded. A collectors item only, that we never meant to be a real release. Originally we had two other cover layouts, which they wanted to use, but didn't get the permission by the painter's distributer. Track-list: 1. Arcenstone 9:17 2. Saruman 7:40 Summoning

2002 Amestigon - Nebelung, 1384 Split release with “Hellbound” on “Millenium Records”. Limited to 1000 copies. Again “Silenius” did the vocals on two songs. Releated

2001 Kreuzweg Ost – Iron Avantgarde This was the most controversial release by Silenius and Martin Schirenc (Pungent Stench, Hollenthon). Industrial music mixed with tons of samples and march-music. The only release where promo Cds have been send back by some distributions as a kind of protest against the militant image of this release. The music left a lot of people who bought it confused, and so it was meant to be. One song also ("Du Gefangene") has been used in a very different version as a Summoning song on Stronghold (“The Shadow Lies Frozen On The Hills”); Releated

2001 Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame This release follows the conceptional line of "Stronghold", but also should be seen as a link to the "older Summoning". The new guitarstyle was kept, whereas the stronger keyboardparts of the older releases where brought back. In this release "Summoning" used a lot of word samples from different Tolkien broadcasts which from now on is a permanent aspect of the "Summoning" sound. For the first time "Summoning" used clear vocals in a kind of choir style on the last song. All vocals where done by silenius and protector by singing the tune plenty of times and mixing the tracks to a choir. Since "Stronghold" Summoning also used lyrcis from other authors than Tolkien. Track-list: 1. A new power is rising 4:07 2. South Away 6:04 3. In hollow halls beneath the falls 8:55 4. Our foes shall fall 7:01 5. The mountain king return 8:52 6. Runes of power 5:51 7. Ashen cold 6:15 8. Farewell 9:18 Summoning

2001 Ice Ages – This Killing Emptiness Second release of the dark eletronic project of Protector This release is slower and heavier as the debut; with deeper and mightier vocals. The songs are more compact and in a better sound quality. Like on the first CD the music doesn’t contain any guitars or other rock orientated elements; and despite the fact that it is an electronic project contains also absolute no techno elements. Releated

2000 Amestigon - Remembering Ancient Origins This self produced mini CD offers harsh and rough mixed black and pagan metal. It was limited to 100 copies. Maybe there will be a re-release in the future. "Silenius" did the vocals on three songs. Releated

2000 Abigor - In Memory This mini CD consists of 5 tracks, mainly cover versions with a different singer on vocals, but i also includes the legendary "shadow lord" song from the first napalm records compilation. Releated

1999 Die Verbannten Kinder Evas - In Darkness Let Me Dwell This release is the darkest and heavies release done by "Die Verbannten Kinder Evas" for now. Tania (who also sung on “Summoing” “Stronghold”) replaced Julia and offer now a much more powerful singing style. Releated

1999 Stronghold For most fans this CD was the beginning of a new Era of "Summoning". That means that most of the old fans didn't like everything new that came up of the band from this point on, but in contrary this release brought many new fans to the band who in contrary didn't like the older releases that much. This CD was released in a time when the black metal movement slowly faded and many fans, bands and followers moved to other musical territories. In contrary "Summoning" tried to hold their musical and lyrical concept, but nevertheless some renewals have been made. First of all the band stopped recording in "Hörnix Studio" and used their own home-studio instead. Second this release was much more guitar orientated with more compact keyboard-melodies. So "Stronghold" maybe could be seen as the most "commercial" album of the band. For the first time female vocals have been used (done by "Tania B" from "Die Verbannten Kinder Evas"). On this release "Summoning" went on to experiment with spoken word samples; in this case from the movie "Braveheart" again and "Legend". What many people didn't recognize is that the intro melodie is the same one as the outro, but pitched down a few notes and manipulated a bit. Track-list: 1. Rhun 3:25 2. Long Lost to Where No Pathway Goes 7:23 3. The Glory Disappears 7:50 4. Like Some Snow-white Marble Eyes 7:20 5. Where Hope and Daylight Die 6:29 6. The Rotting Horse on the Deadly Ground 8:26 7. The Shadow Lies Frozen on the Hills 7:01 8. The Loud Music of the Sky 6:48 9. A Distant Flame Before the Sun 9:00 Summoning

1999 Whispers in the Shadow Protector was bass player on the first two releases of the band “Whispers in the Shadow”. The first CD called “Laudanum” was released on 1997 MOS records (btw. The cover painting was done by the same person who did the castle painting within the “Dol Guldur” release). The second release was entitled “November” and also released on MOS records in the year 1999 After this release Protector left the band because of lack of time. The music of this band was very influenced by old “Cure” songs but after the departure of Protector turned into a more rocky style. Protector is still in contact with the main protagonist, and still has a good meaning of this band. Releated

1998 Abigor – Supreme Immortal Art Beside “Nachthymnen” this is for sure the most symphonic release done by Abigor. Contains a lot of word and sound samples of movies like “Dracula” and “Gods Army”. The last release Silenius did take part. Releated

1997 Nightshade Forest This release (for the first time) was mixed in a studio somewhere in Swiss. The production brought some good aspects in cause of the reverb, and hard drum-sound, but unluckily "Summonig" made some bad mistakes with the guitar-sound. In this release for the first time sound samples have been used (in this case battle-sounds from the movie "Braveheart" in the song "Flesh and Blood"). The songs are missing songs of the "Dol Guldur" session both CDs are connected, and should be seen as one CD. Track-list: 1. Mirkwood 9:45 2. Kortirion among the trees 8:50 3. Flesh and blood 7:54 4. Habbanan beneath the stars 7:13 Summoning

1997 Abigor - Apokalypse A Mini-CD. For sure the most brutal release ever done by Abigor. With a different vocal-style by “Silenius” (maybe compared to the first “Zyklon B” Mini CD). Releated

1997 Ice Ages – Strike the ground This is the dark, electronic project of protector. In this project protector only uses electronic sounds for the tunes and distorted machine-influenced rhythm sounds, which are played in a slow way. The track “Trapped and Scared” was also reused for the Summoning song “Over Old Hills” on the “Dol Guldur” release. Releated

1997 Weltenbrand Because Oliver Falk was in that time a fan of the dark wave project of Protector “Die Verbannten Kinder Evas” he asked Protector to sing and compose the vocal lines for his band “Weltenbrand”. They already hade done an album before and wanted Protector to help them for their second release called “Nachtvolk” which was released on his new founded Label “MOS Records”. It also was planned that Protector would do some vocals on the follow up release but due to some personal differences it never happened. Since then Protector is not in contact with this band anymore. Releated

1997 Die Verbannten Kinder Evas – Come Heavy Sleep This is the most classical influenced album of DVKE, with more realistic orchestrasound and less electronic experiments. Again the music consists only on keyboards and clear vocals. This time done by Protector and Julia only. Releated

1997 Mirkwood this project was never released. originally it was planned to be a kind of dark wave project with elisabeth toriser from dargaard on the vocalss but later i gave up because of different troubles and less interesst for it. a cover layout was never done for this project. Only 4 songs have been done for this project, one of the songs later was adapted by summoning for the "lost tales" mini CD called "arcenstone". You can hear those 4 songs in the MP3 section of this page Releated

1996 Dol Guldur This record is until now the best selling album of the band. Along with this release for the very first and last time promo posters of the cover have been made which are now very desired fan-articles for the die-hard collecters. The last song "Over Old Hills" is completely based on a song on the first "Ice Ages" CD (the dark, electronic project of Protector). "Minas Morgul" and "Dol Guldur" have been recorded at "Hörnix Studio" in which also "Abigor" and "Die Verbannten Kinder Evas" have produced their first outputs. Some lyrics have been done by P.K. of Abigor. Track-list: 1. Angbands schmieden 3:30 2. Nightshade forests 10:48 3. Elfstone 10:51 4. Khazad dúm 10:58 5. Kôr 11:00 6. Wyrmvater glaurung 3:05 7. Unto a long glory... 9:37 8. Over old hills 8:58 Summoning

1996 Pazuzu – Awaken the dragon Nearly all of the music meanwhile was composed by “Pazuzu” himself (a kind of Middle Aged influenced soundtrack music). Only the outro was done by Silenius, whereas protector did the main melody-lines on the song “Royaume des rêves (Baronnesse chap. II)“. Originally released on dark matter records, this CD was later rereleased by “Hammerheart Records” with a less quality cover layout. Releated

1996 Abigor - Opus IV This album is the combination of two mini CDs done at different times and therefore has two different sounds. One song contains backward played vocals only. Releated

1996 Sanguis Et Cinis Protector also played keyboard in the so called death-rock styled band called “Sanguis Et Cinis”. He joined this band because the so called mastermind of the band “Evangel” asked him to help to performing a cover version of some “Lacrimosa” songs. Later he was a fix member of this band for the first two release called “Schicksal” (1996) and “Unfreiwillig Abstrakt” (1997). The music of this band could be described as an unprofessional “Lacrimosa” rip-off. Protector ist not in contact with this band anymore and rather ashamed ever having been a member of this band. Releated

1996 Trifixion After his kick-out from Summoning “Trifixion” tried desperately to keep his feet within the scene and was a part of several releases on lethal records (which doesn’t exist anymore). He was the drummer of “Pervertum”, “Werwolf”, “Totennacht” (it is not sure about that) and his own solo project “Trifixion” in which he also plays all other instruments. All of these bands don’t exist anymore and also their releases have been deleted years ago. Releated

1996 Soon to be Dead "Soon to be Dead" presented by "Morbid Vision Films" was an amateur action movie done by some american college students just by their own interest and without any commercial background or help. Beside other black metal bands like “Emperor” or “Mayhem” they used several songs of “Minas Morgul” from "Summoning" as background music. It is not known it this movie was sold somewhere and how many copies existed. Others

1995 Minas Morgul For the band and for most of the fans this album was the secret debut album. Within this release everything what the Summoning-sound is meant to be, found its origin, and so this release brought the band to a larger audience. This album contains both songs of the promo tape namely "Lugburz", "Dor Daedeloth" and "Dagor Bragollach" (on the promo tape this song was followed up by guitars which we droped on the album). Most of the lyrics have been lost. This album is still one of the most important releases of the band so far. Track-list: 1. Soul wandering 2:32 2. Lugburz 7:15 3. The passing of the gray company 9:16 4. Morthond 6:44 5. Marching homewards 8:11 6. Orthanc 1:39 7. Ungolianth 6:37 8. Dagor Bragollach 5:05 9. Through the forest of Dol Guldur 4:47 10. The legend of the master-ring 5:27 11. Dor Daedeloth 10:16 Summoning

1995 Grabesmond This was the only demo release of “Grabesmond” back in 1995. It was limited to 30 copies. The original idea came from T.T. and P.K. of Abigor. They came up with the idea of doing something more in a ritual style, and asked “Summoning” to give the basic keyboard lines to the project. Summoning did an about 30 minutes long track which was completed by some samples, vocals and guitars by Abigor. After this release Summoning has nothing to do anymore with this project. The two CD releases which where done by Napalm contained music done by Lucia Farountan (the wife of P.K.). Releated

1995 Crom From this project two demos existed, which were limited to 20 or 30 copies. This band consisted of the singer of later “Pervertum”, “Summoning”, “Abogor” and “Pazuzu”members. The music consists only of live session music in the style of early “Abruptum” and therefore has less musical quality, but was done just for provocation. Afterwards the band only released one song on the demo compilation “Invoke the Dark Age” that consited also songs by “Abigor”, “Summoning” and “Pazuzu”. Later this project was laid to rest. Releated

1995 Lugburz This album contains most of the demo-songs, but highly rearranged. Most of the basic riffs have been composed on bass-guitar, while Protector added the other melody-lines on guitar. On this album keyboards have been used, just as accompaniment, and not as the main instrument, like on the following releases. An interesting fact is, that the basic riff of "Where winters forever cry" was composed by Trifixion. This song was one of the highlights of this CD. But all in all Trifixions drum playing was not satifying and his more and more outcoming ego-trips forced the band to kick him out, so that Summoning was free to develop his very own style. In contrary to the follow up releases, this album was not produced at "Hörnix Studio", but in our session room by a guy whos name doesn't play any role. In this case "Summoning" had to remix the album at "Hörnix Studio". Most of the lyrics have been done by Pazuzu; he also did the spoken vocals on "Dragons of Time" and "Through the Valley of the frozen Kingdom". Most of them have been lost a long time ago. Track-list: 1. Grey heavens 1:44 2. Beyond bloodred horizons 3:42 3. Flight of the Nazgul 7:16 4. Where winters forever cry 4:08 5. Through the valley of the frozen kingdom 6:30 6. Raising with the battle-orcs 5:44 7. Master of the old lure 4:14 8. Between light and darkness 3:34 9. The eternal lands of fire 3:46 10. Dragons of time 6:01 11. Moondance 4:46 Summoning

1995 Die Verbannten Kinder Evas – Self Titled The music is classical influenced dark wave music with clear male and female vocals. In contrary to all other releases of DVKE this CD was more mystic with more sound experiments. All vocals have been done by Protector and two female vocalists (this Sister “Julia Lederer” and “Nora El Shamah”). This is the only release where Silenius helped with some keyboard lines and also sung one song (“Requiem”). Releated

1995 Nefarius Demo Black Metal demo by a one-man-band from around Vienna. This demo contained rough black metal music in the “Burzum” style. Protector helped with some keyboard melodies on one or two songs. Vocals have been done by “Van Zazas” (who also did the vocals on the December fog demo with P.K. and who did some magazines like “Art Of Necronomicon” and “Twilight Zone”. It is not known how many copies have been made. Releated

1995 Abigor – Nachthymnen – From the twilight kingdom One of best selling releases of Abigor so far and therefore maybe the most beloved album by the fans. Contains all the strengths of the first two releases, but in a more complex direction. One lyric was written by a member of Absurd for Abigor exclusively. The only release that contains female vocals; done by Elisabeth T. who later did the main vocals for Dargaard. Releated

1995 Minas Morgul Promotape As far as the band knows one promo tape has been done to Minas Morgul. This tape just was made for napalm records only to give them information how the style of the band has changed. The tape contained different versions of “Lugburz” (within this song the vocals still had some echoes which have been dropped later), “Morthond” and “Dagor Bragollach” (within this song still guitars have been added to the music) and maybe some more songs Demos

1995 Summoning Tape-Versions Most of the more important releases of "Summoning" have been published threw tape versions in Poland, licensed by Mystic Production. There are tape versions of following releases existing: “Dol Guldur”, “Stronghold”, “Minas Morgul” and “Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame”. In Addition there is also an official “Lugburz” CD existing on which “Nightshade Forest” can also be heard (information from a Polish fan). The quality of the tapes is not very high, and there are many mistakes within the booklets, concerning song titles and other information. As far as the band knows these tapes only exist in Poland or maybe in some other eastern countries. Others

1995 With Us Or Agains Us This compilation was the first one done by Napalm. In contrary to the following commercial compilations of "Napalm Records" this release contained only unreleased tracks by the bands. "Summoning" presented and untitled home-made demo song which was done some when before “Minas Morgul” was released and was the first track in which "Summoning" experimented with keyboard-drum sound instead of real drums. It also contained the "Abigor" song “Shadow Lord” with "Silenius" on vocals which was only released on the Abigor Mini CD “In Memorian” many years later. Others

1995 ABMS - Norici Obscura Pars This compilation contains only bands from the “Austrian Black Metal Syndicate” with unreleased songs published by the Austrian Dark Matter records which was run by “Pazuzu”, “Martin Schirenc” and some other people. The Song of “Pazuzu” called “The First Dominion Renewal of Ages” was the last complete “Pazuzu” Song done by the members of Summoning only. Afterwards Summoning helped “Pazuzu” just with some melody-lines and one outro on his second release “Awaking the Dragon” because -meanwhile “Pazuzu” started to make his own music. The compilation also contains Songs by “Golden Dawn”, “Pervertum”, “Trifixion”, “Knechte des Schreckens” (Side Project of “Pazuzu”), “Vuzem” (preband of “Hollenthon”). Others

1995 Merchandise In contrary to many other bands Summoning always had not very much fan articles to offer; the only fans articles have been different kinds of printed cloths. From the Lugburz release no merchandise had been done; the first long sleeve of Summoning was made with the “Minas Morgul” release, it was printed in America. The front cover showed the cover of “Minas Morgul” (but a much smaller picture with the logo printed in fracture letters and a photo of Silenius on the back holding a sword in his hands in contrary to the later released Napalm Editions with the cover bigger and better coloured and the original photos of the CD inlet on the back. With “Dol Guldur” Napalm started to make regular fan articles; that means t-shirts, long sleeves and sweaters with the cover motives and the original band photos on the back. As far as the band knows, in this time also promo posters with the cover motive of “Dol Guldur” have been made which are now desired collectors items. Although it is known that in this time bootleg t-shirts have been around with a different motive on the back (photo of Silenius with an axe). With the nightshade forest release for the first and only time two different motives have been done. The first motive showed the cover-painting with the inner sleeve painting of the Nazgul on the back. While the second edition had just a small Summoning logo on the front and the burning eye logo on the back. The editions of Stronghold and Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame have been done in a strict way: Covers on the front and band-photos on the back. The only new thing was that with the latest release also girly-shirts have been done with just the logo on the front. There won’t be any fan articles of the latest release lost tales. In the meantime nearly all of the mentioned fan articles have been sold out and wont be reprinted. Others

1994 Abigor - Orkblut - The Retaliation This release was a kind of pagan concept mini-album with an about 30 minutes playing time. Combined very harsh black metal with very melodic parts and is one of the favourites of Silenius. Releated

1994 Creation of the dark ages We nearly can no remember anything about this demo compillation and we even can not say if this demo ever was released. the only thing i can remember was that there have been big troubles between abigor and trifixion about the cover layout. trifixion wanted a colored one, and abigor a black and white cover. this was the opening quarrel between both of them and later more and more this quarrel developped to serious problems Releated

1994 Abigor – Verwüstung – Invoke the dark age Debut CD release with a very Nordic touch but ripp-off. Contained most of the demo songs. The provoking text of the sticker of the back cover forced the label to press it outside of Austria (because of some juristic reasons). Releated

1994 Pazuzu - And All Was Silent Very first CD where “Summoning” members were involved in. This CD was recorded even before the first "Abigor" CD, but due to a larg delay of the label "All Was Silent" was released after this CD. The music was a kind of satanic esoteric and ritual music, composed only by Silenius and Protector with vocals and lyrics by “Pazuzu” and others. One of the few releases which have not been released by Napalm but by the Norwegian Label “Head Not Found”. Releated

1994 Abigor – In Hate And Sin This last Abigor Demo release was the first one Silenius had his debut as the lead vocalist. The demo contains three songs which later have been used on the debut CD; just with different vocals. Unreleased demo - no cover layout existing. Releated

1994 The Urilia Text This is a split demo together with "Pazuzu" and in an awfull quality which makes it hardly possible to hear any details. The demo only contains 2 Summoning songs. Track list: 1. Beyond Bloodred Horizons (Summoning) (4:17) 2. Dragons Of Time (Summoning) (7:44) 3. Prologue (Pazuzu) 4. Der Mond ward der Erde neue Sonne (Pazuzu) 5. Incantation of the Firegod (Pazuzu) 6.
