LISTEN:
Todesbonden Myspace
PRESS:
"Sleep Now, Quiet Forest seems to not only channel 3rd and the Mortal, circa Memoirs, but also add to it with folk instruments that create an atmosphere like no other. Haus clearly carries the day with her vocals that can leave even the hardest of hearts swooning." 9/10 LIVING FOR METAL
"...a manifold, great piece of art, consisting of fantastic and individual compositions..."
"...a breathtaking emotional artistic experience..." 9/10 - METAL MESSAGE
"Wonderful and special music, made for wonderful and special moments." 9/10 ORKUS
"Of high artistic value, and worth noticing!" ZILLO
"Some of the strongest, most avant-garde and perfect songs between Doom, Folk, Classical, and Goth since at least a decade!" ROCK HARD
"A wonderful album, guaranteeing you a profound listening experience." METAL HAMMER GERMANY
"An experience that is as artful as it is emotional, taking your breath away with its sheer creative scope. Every romantic out there will go into raptures!" SONIC SEDUCER
"Like a fresh breeze from the Emerald Isle or a lost jewel from the musical treasure of Loreena McKennitt. A debut with a good sense of proportion and a strong packaging!" LEGACY
"A true gem to daydream to and to enjoy." BLAST MAGAZINE
"A really beautiful debut that lives by emotions made sound." METAL.DE
"A totally successful debut!" SUBKULTUR.COM
"A sublime piece of music from the realm of melancholic, folksy and oriental Metal. I strongly advise everyone to take a listen to this great band!" MEDIENKONVERTER
"An intoxicating cocktail of styles and sounds adorned with layers of melancholy Celtic melody and madrigal-style metal riffery. Impressive!" METAL HAMMER UK
"An album that you have to sit down and really LISTEN to. Just like you did with albums in the good ol' days. I really like this!" SWEDEN ROCK
"Music as powerful as pastoral, creating something sonically akin to the tempting, yet tempestuous lure of Nature in all her simultaneous beauty and brutality" - METAL MANIACS
"A really growing and living musical organism...You need to let release have its space and flow as it twists and turns into corners one wasn't looking for it to go into.".."TODESBONDEN could be one of the stand outs in Prophecy roster in 2008." - ABSOLUTE ZERO MEDIA
"TODESBONDEN fascinate us and create a work somewhere between Dead Can Dance, 3rd And The Mortal and Loreena McKennitt, far surpassing the horizons of Metal." - IMPERIUMI
"Talent and potential can be found here in abundance. A very satisfying chunk of quiet, laid-back music!" METAL REVIEW

CD COMPLETE
Hello everyone,
My other band Todesbonden (a metal band with world, classical influence) has finally finished their full length CD Sleep Now, Quiet Forest!! Produced, mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Katatonia, Pain of Salvatation etc..) at Fascination Street Studios.
You can hear two of the 'softer' tracks now in my player (Flow My Tears and Angus Og's Fiddle) but if you want to hear the heavier (metal) tracks go to this link:
http://www.myspace.com/sleepnowquietforest
We are awaiting release and will update the news section once the date is set. It will be released through Prophecy Productions in Germany.
Hope all is well.
Sincerely,
Laurie

Jens Bogren + Todesbonden
I am happy to say that Jens Bogren (Opeth, Katatonia, Pain of Salvation, Soilwork, Daylight Dies) from Fascination Street Studios in Sweden is producing and mixing the upcoming Todesbonden album.
So far he is a very sweet guy with an excellent ear.
I found a little tiny picture of him:
It is a great honor.
Beyond just honor however, on a musical level, I love the work he has done.
So, I look forward to seeing what he does with Todesbonden, we are very different in style I think from other stuff he has produced.
I think that he may be done with mixing/producing by the end of this week. After that, I go to master the album here in Virginia.
If you want to hear his other work go here:

FRIENDS REQUESTS , COMMENTS, and EMAILS
Hello Hello :)
I just wanted to let everyone know that has e-mailed me or commented or to whom I have not written back yet.
I am sorry if I haven't responded or have taken a long time to do so. I am so distracted recently with musical things and life things that I haven't been as expedient as I would want to be.
Just keep in mind that it is not a slight or anything, just really busy.
I like to respond to anyone who writes me, so I will get back to you eventually!
Until then Cheers and Hugs!
:D D Laurie

Heathen Crusade Festival
"I haven't had much time to update about the Heathen Crusade. However, the event deserves to be honored so I will take the time to do it now. It was a very worthy event and I feel that going to it was definiately beneficial for Todesbonden. It was an extremely long drive out there in which we had to stop halfway at my friend Joe's house. (which was a welcome treat anyways) I sang onstage for the first time ever being dead cold sober. I made the decision to be without this time. It was a test. This was the largest crowd Todesbonden had played infront of thus far I needed to know that I could do it. The result? Fear.
While setting up we took a long time (because of the guitar issue), but luckily we had the most amazing announcer help to fill the time (Nathan was his name??) He was brilliant and had people laughing. Huge deep bows to Nathan. Not to mention he bought our shirt and was wearing it the rest of the night. What a blessing he was. With all technical difficulties aside, our response was rather amazing. It was great to see such a large amount of people yelling "hey, hey, hey. hey" during our set. Such a rush. It also felt good to know that inspite of our completely different sound (which was airy fairy in comparison) to the rest of the bands because they were extreme metal with mostly death style vocals, that some people were open enough to accept us anyways. It however didn't keep my legs from shaking the entire time, leaving the stage I could hardly walk. It was a fantastic event, sound in the front of the house was very good. The people that attended were amazing. The crew, organizers were beyond supportive. I would play again if asked."- Laurie Ann Haus

A Midwinter Nights Dream Concert Jan 14, 2006
"TODESBONDEN was offered a headlining slot at Jaxx Nightclub on the evening of Saturday Jan 14th, 2006, so I decided to find other bands to play with us that we thought would be complimentary in style (Brave, Shroud of Bereavement, Withersoul, and Xeper).
The attendance, despite of the weather (fierce wind, a bit of snow, hail), being the 3rd time Todesbonden has ever played live, and having 3 bands that were not considered 'local', was rather high.
Once again we had the fabulous Zane Marshall doing our sound and as before, we heard many compliments, both on our band and Zane.
Due to a later load-in time then expected we weren't able to get a board recording which was a slight dissapointment.
All the bands played rather well and we were thrilled to see the hall so full by the time our set started.
We were able to sell enough CDs and T-shirts to help fund our upcoming 20 hour drive to Minnesota to play the Heathen Crusade Festival which was extremely helpful because we feared we would lose a lot of money on that adventure.
I was very thankful to see our friends and family that came out to support us and to the bands that put in hard work into bringing people out." -Laurie Ann Haus

CONCERT W/ THERION (SEPT 16TH)
"TODESBONDEN had a fantastic time playing with Therion this last Friday (Sept 16th). We had Zane Marshall (NIN, Pantera, Wrathchild America) engineer our sound and he did a fantastic job at it. I would say we got as many compliments about our sound as we did our music. That is the first time that (hearing compliments about our sound engineer) has ever happened to me in my entire musical career (which is really not that long however)
We played new songs from our upcoming album Ghost of the Crescent Moon. Much to our pleasure they were received rather well. The crowds ovewhelming response to us suprised me a bit but I am not complaining about it.
I look forward to playing more shows. The only unfortunate part was the fact that we lost some very important drum gear that evening. We are not sure where it went. But it is still missing and we are assuming it is lost forever.
We are extremely pleased with how many of our friends and family supported us so fervently and we really could have not asked for a better evening in any way. I guess being able to use my in ear monitors would have made the show even better, but it all worked out in the end and according to other people in the crowd I didn't go off pitch because of that factor.
It was a fantastic evening that I will treasure forever." - Laurie Ann Haus
There are some pictures of the show at www.todesbonden.com and a review here.
