The band is the product of Multi-instrumentalist Erech Leleth with the beautiful and versatile voice of Anna de Savoy. Erech Leleth plays all instruments and is the mastermind of Bergfried. This album “Romantik I” has lots of classical music inspiration most notably from the romantic period. Even though, “Oh Lord” is an uptempo country music inspired and stands out from the album. As I said before, this album delivers a very differen combination of sounds. Album opener “Hungry Hearts” has a strong flaming guitar which is overwhelmed by a powerful and prominent keyboard sound that takes the lead with a very catchy riff. In fact, by the way the keyboard sounds it takes the place of the guitars or sometimes it completes the musical ideas. Thats exactly what makes Bergfried’s music so unique. And unique is something a little scarce nowadays.
“Romantik I” is an album with lots of charm. The kind of charm that makes a fan love the band. “War-Torn Lovers,” for instance, kind of sounds as if it were a part of a soundtrack due to the moods the keyboard creates. Let’s wait for “Romantik II” or whatever the name of the full-lenght will be.
Bergfried “Romantik I” was independently released on April 11th.
