Von Andreas Gstettner-Brugger
A number of gold singles and LPs, 9 Austrian Amadeus Music Awards so far and bought out concert events in main venues such because the Wiener Stadthalle. What’s the bond Wanda achieved in its virtually twelve-year historical past, few Austrian artists succeed. Now the band, lowered to 3, is releasing its sixth studio album “Ende Nie”. An ambiguous title that might check with the picture of an indestructible bond, however may be learn as a battle cry to develop into stronger from loss, despair and unhappiness.
However this is likely one of the myths that’s usually utilized in popular culture. The reality most likely seems a bit of completely different. As a result of “Ende Nie” is a yr and a half of coping with the loss of life of these near you, the sensation of a damaged world and the combat again to life. Even after the work of the medical studio, the path of horrible life-changing occasions has not fully disappeared. After a collection of interviews, the band round singer Marco Wanda canceled their talks with the media.
Within the single “It may be anybody,” launched two months in the past, Wanda lets us know in her direct manner that life is fragile. It could actually occur to anybody. At any time. And from flying excessive it’s usually solely a second all the way down to a darkish cave.
A distinct depth
It might be simple to claim that Wanda’s new songs have a brand new depth. However that may additionally imply that the earlier work had a top quality that she did not have. Obtain the music ten years in the past “Bologna” For instance, whereas it seems to be about an unfulfilled intercourse life and relationship crises, the loss of life of a beloved aunt has already been handled. Wanda all the time put loss of their songs. Nevertheless, the best way points had been negotiated again then was completely different.

Marco Wanda: “Ten years in the past we needed to be heard and we had this younger Sturm und Drang. And we actually simply needed to lift issues and destroy. And let’s vent. Ten years in the past I couldn’t have predicted that our world would develop like this.”
The loss of life of keyboardist, founding member and buddy Christian Hummer led to the music “No one Else”. A ballad that, though it’s devoted to him, has a bigger theme than unhappiness and loss.
Marco Wanda: “This music solely desires to deal with one facet of loss. And that’s the facet of affection for that particular person. Actually, it is a love music on the finish of the day. It isn’t particularly about loss of life, however the first particular person narrator expresses his love for somebody. And actually she would not must be lifeless in any respect.”
All life in a single free music,
This additionally makes it clear why Wanda’s songs are so profitable. They create and supply house for recognition. They’re generalizations of human expertise born out of life. And though there are autobiographical components in them, Marco Wanda doesn’t handle to fully combine his private life with the lifetime of the narrator who seems within the songs.
That is why Wanda would not expertise the unhappiness and loss face-to-face on stage once they play the items.
Wanda/Common Music
“Finish By no means” might be revealed on June 7, 2024
Marco Wanda: “I see songs like artifacts. We’re loading songs with unimaginable quantity. With which means, each private and social. Within the absence of actual artifacts – none of us have shamanic figures at dwelling – it is songs for us. And on stage, in case you choose to play it, you do not expertise the feelings which can be the premise of the music. You’re in a totally completely different hurry. It is not only a feeling both. There isn’t any good music primarily based solely on Huge Bang. Ideally, you all the time put your complete life into one music.”
For that to work, a secure house was wanted particularly for this album. Former image ebook producer Zebo Adam provided this to the band. No time constraints, no stress. However with openness and human endurance.
Marco Wanda: “Many producers responded to my music drafts: The place ought to this go? That is not over but! This fully ignored our scenario on the time and other people talked to me as if nothing had occurred. And naturally that did not work. And Zebo was the primary particular person to say, ‘Hey, I can form of think about what you are going via proper now. And I wish to create a secure surroundings for you. And we do not take into consideration something aside from the songs.’ He relieved us and took the scenario very critically as folks. On this respect he was a super producer for the album. And I’m eternally grateful to him. That was very highly effective.”
As soon as, all the time Amore
The friendship with the producer Adam, developed over time and a half of studio work, was important for this album. As a result of friendship additionally means love. And in the end, every little thing Marco Wanda does is about love. Not so was the battle cry of 2014 “Amor!”.
Marco Wanda: “The fundamental thought remains to be the identical. We wish to carry folks collectively. That is why I am all the time searching for subjects that everybody can perceive. Wanda’s total profession occurred proper within the decade of the cut up. So for me the headline from 2014 to 2024 is a shift to the appropriate and social divide. And it was exactly throughout this time that we tried very arduous to carry folks collectively and preserve them collectively. And to not share. As greatest I can.”
And that may be a resolution. every day. Similar to we will select love in relationships day-after-day. That is the theme of one of many highlights of the document, the music “Get up kiss“. A music that permits love to vary and switch.
Marco Wanda: “I am certain different folks can kiss you awake. Let’s put it this fashion – in case you’re awake and open to it, you may let folks change you. And you’ll let love change you. All it’s a must to do is ask for it. This doesn’t occur by itself. You too can face the love with partitions and you may say, I am extra more likely to get my factors via so I can by some means get out in a single piece, or you may say – no, I’ll create an area between them. , we’ll create it and I am going to let myself undergo the change.”
