Phelios

Phelios is a dark ambient project from Wuppertal, Germany, founded by Martin Stürtzer. Started in 2002, initially only available in the internet, until urged with good feedback of fellow musical activists to issue his material in a CD, so in 2006 the first album "Images and Spheres" was released on the German label Eternal Soul Records, known for such projects as Karjalan Sissit and Triarii. In the next years followed a pair of CDr releases, before the double CD album in 2008 "Dimension Zero", as well on Eternal Soul Records. A Split EP with Swedish project Kammarheit was released by the respectable label Power & Steel / Loki Foundation. The last album Astral Unity was released by the US label Malignant Records which is the also the home of Caul, Yen Pox and False Mirror. A split EP with Kammarheit titled "Of Dawn and of Ice" was released in 2009, and in 2010 a new album, titled "Astral Unity", was released on Canadian label Malignant Records. Phelios has performed in Schlagstrom, Summer Darkness, Tonwellen Konferenz, Bitstream and Wave Gothic Treffen festivals, and departed with Svartsinn for the tour of Russia. He also runs the Phobos Festival which takes place once a year in an church in Wuppertal. He brought bands like Inade, Andrew Lagowski Herbst9, Bad Sector, Troum and Kammarheit on stage.
