Founded in early 2001 by Ben Richter, Thanateros released its debut album “The First Rite” by September of 2001. After the CD-release Thanateros toured successfully with In Extremo and played lots of concerts and festival-shows.
In 2003 the second album “Circle of Life” was released, on which Thanateros found its own unique style by combining modern rock/metal-music with traditional Celtic-folk, using original instruments like the Fiddle, Uilleann Pipes, Bodhran and Whistle.
In April of 2003 Thanateros made its first successful headliner tour throughout Germany and Austria followed by lots of festival-shows with acts like „Subway to Sally“, „Letzte Instanz“, „Tanzwut“ and „L’ame Immortelle“.
In 2005 Thanateros released its first single “Dirty Old Town” and its third CD “Into the Otherworld” on which the union of modern metal and Celtic folk reached a new level.
After numerous concerts, a successful tour with “Umbra et Imago” and another one with “NFD” (ex-Fields of the Nephilim) Thanateros took a break. During this extended timeout, lasting more than two years the line-up was completely changed and new songs were written.
Then between March and May 2008 Thanateros entered the RedHouseStudio to produce fourth CD entitled “Liber Lux”. The release of the CD is planned for the beginning of April 2009 and will be followed by concerts and festival-shows.

Thanateros Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where we watched the world pass by
And I'm thinking of you
And iI'm feeling you
And I see all the pain
That you're carrying with you
And I wish you could let go
If the world pulls you down
I will be there - I will be around
I'm your guiding light - you're gonna see
If the world brings you down
I will be there - I will be around
Your tower of strength I'm gonna be
I'll be there in time
And now I stand on the crag
Where we watched the turning tides
And I feel a warming wind
And I feel peace inside
And I see all the doubts
That burn inside your soul
And I wish you could let go
I wish you could know
If the world pulls you down
I will be there - I will be around
I'm your guiding light - you're gonna see
If the world brings you down
I will be there - I will be around
Your tower of strength I'm gonna be
I'll be there in time
I see you
I feel you
I'll shine into your heart
I'll guide you
I'll light you
I'll heal your broken heart
[German translation]
Und nun stehe ich auf dem hügel
Wo wir der welt zuschauten wie sie vorüberzieht
Und ich denke an dich
Und ich fühle dich
Und ich sehe all den schmerz
Den du mit dir trägst
Und ich wünschte du könntest loslassen
Ich wünschte du wüsstest
Wenn die welt dich hinunter zieht
Werde ich da sein - werde ich zugegen sein
Dein dich leitendes licht bin ich - du wirst es sehen
Wenn die welt dich zu fall bringt
Werde ich da sein - werde ich zugegen sein
Dein turm der kraft werde ich sein
Ich werde rechtzeitig da sein
Und nun stehe ich auf der klippe
Wo wir die wechselnden gezeiten beobachteten
Und ich fühle einen warmen wind
Und ich fühle frieden im inneren
Und ich sehe all die zweifel
Die in deiner seele brennen
Und ich wünschte du könntest los lassen
Ich wünschte du wüsstest
Wenn die welt dich hinunter zieht
Werde ich da sein - werde ich zugegen sein
Dein dich leitendes licht bin ich - du wirst es sehen
Wenn die welt dich zu fall bringt
Werde ich da sein - werde ich zugegen sein
Dein turm der kraft werde ich sein
Ich werde rechtzeitig da sein
Ich sehe dich
Ich fühle dich
Ich werde in dein herz strahlen
Ich werde dich führen
Ich werde dir leuchten
Ich werde dein gebrochenes herz heilen
