Soon after forming they became known as "The Masters of the Black Romantic", uniquely combining mystery, melodies and dark fantasies into an imaginative form of Heavy Metal.
During the 80's they were one of the better known German cult bands.
They released 7 albums before splitting up late in 1994:
1. Walpurgis Night (1984)
2. Tales of Terror (1985)
3. Stronger Than heaven (1986)
4. The Beauty and the Beast (1988)
5. Eye of the Storm (1990)
6. War of the Wizards (1992)
7. Shogun (1994).
The band re-united in 2002 with the line up:
Andy Mück - vocals
Fabian Schwarz - guitars
Martin Winkler - guitars
Dominik Schwarz - bass
Alex Schmidt - keyboards
Marc Oppold - drums
and they have released 2 new albums:
8. Dance With the Witches (2002)
9. Witchcraft (2004).
Witchcraft was the last album to feature this lineup as all members except for Andy Mück have since left the band again. In 2005 Andy Mück gathered some other musicians, among others he recruited Jürgen Wannenwetsch, first bass-player of the band from 1981 to 1983. All new musicians soon left the band again except Jürgen Wannenwetsch. Between 2005 and 2010 there were several other musicians playing for Stormwitch but all left the band after a short period of time.
In 2010 the line-up seems to be complete again:
Andy Mück - Vocals
Jürgen Wannenwetsch - Bass
Marc Scheunert - Guitar
Ralf "Stoney" - Guitar
Harry Reischmann - Drums
They soon stated to work an a new album likely to be released in 2011.
Somewhere
Stormwitch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Golden fades the sun
All his dreams, all hope was gone
Since he saw her dying
He can't find no more
Peace of mind - a light behind the door
He looses off the string
"I chose your life - that's my part
You want everything
But you can't see the signs"
He could read between the lines
[Chorus]
Somewhere we'll meet again, I know
Somewhere, you'll take my hand
Somewhere we'll meet again, I know
Somewhere, far away, there is a land
"We've just borrowed time
Now listen, what I'll say
Live rejoicing every day
Fulfill the hope of mine
And go just your own way
We will meet again someday"
[Chorus]
The lyrics of Stormwitch's song Somewhere portray a story of a man who's lost all hope after the death of someone he loved. He's on a lonely beach, watching the sun go down. The line "All his dreams, all hope was gone" suggests that he feels lost and aimless. He then reads a message that tells him that he must live his life rejoicing every day and fulfilling the hope of the one he loves. The message is a ray of hope for him and the chorus conveys this sense of optimism that they will meet again in some distant land.
