Hamburgian duo ST. MICHAEL FRONT have enjoyed a lightning start in their native Germany. The two former art students, Bruder Matthias and Bruder Sascha ("Bruder" meaning "Brother" as in the proper address for a monk) probably did not expect such an overwhelming reception as they got by storming the RADIOEINS Charts mit the song 'Once' that remained on #1 for six weeks, invitations to prestigious cult festivals such as Wave Gotik Treffen in Leipzig and House of the Holy in Austria's mountains as well as glowing reviews in German mainstream media with their debut album "End of Ahriman".

This early success was especially surprising as guitarist and keyboard player "Bruder" Matthias Tedjasukmana as well as singer and actor "Bruder" Sascha Schäfke (the duo prefers the use of their pseudonyms) offered a rule-breaking mixture of anything that they could lay their hands on and which suited their purpose. Dark pop, Schlager, neofolk – nothing was considered too sacred that it could not be ground through ST. MICHAEL FRONT's musical meat-grinder. Their astonishing sound was rounded off by a lyrical concept bordering on the insane. The duo's lyrics are happily inhabited by demons and other eldritch fiends. Although ironically broken, esoteric musings are not considered a regular fare of even the darker side of pop. Their video clip 'Once' delivers a perfect example of this paradox with Sascha singing in a pleasant crooner-style with added growls over a Honolulu-type Schlager melody while engaging in a dark ritual.
