Die Weisse Rose - As The Last Of the Rose Petals Are Shattered (Video)





Once again Giorgis Kormikiaris edited a beautiful video. The song As The Last Of the Rose Petals Are Shattered is taken from the album A Martyrium Of White Roses.





Die Weisse Rose is founded in 2001 in Denmark, by Thomas Bøjden.Formed  This musical project was formed as a creative output for documenting various historical events, through what Wagner called “Gesamtkunstwerke” - a total work of art. Combining electronical elements, fieldrecordings and real instruments through an optic that resembles a kaleidoscopical view of history, thus making the music of DIE WEISSE ROSE as indebted to the History Channel and litterature as they are to Throbbing Gristle and Richard Wagner. 






Die Weisse Rose has Hover the years collaborated with: Foresta Di Ferro, Allerseelen, :Of The Wand And The Moon:, Blood Axis, Rome

More than concerts, Die Weisse Rose’s live performances ( of Thomas Bøjden and the Misantropical Tabernacle Choir)  should been seen and celebrated as elaborate rituals, where element such as uniforms, burning torches, snippets of old schlägers, segments from documentary films and philosophical proclamations are carefully wowen together by orgies of electronic sounds, violins and accordion and drum beating like a military parade gone terribly astray.
