Alexander Paul Dowerk

Anchor and Burden

Sunken Fleet

After chronicling the downfall of mankind and wandering through its irradiated ruins on EXTINCTION LEVEL and AFTERGLOW, Anchor and Burden now descend into the depths with SUNKEN FLEET — an underwater odyssey through drowned wreckage, bioluminescent lifeforms, and spectral echoes of the past.

Ghostly, mutated beings drift silently through flooded reactor rooms and corroded crew quarters of once-mighty warships and trade vessels. Rusting steel now provides shelter for those who hide from far more terrifying predators lurking in the pitch-black abyss.

Dark, dreamlike, and hauntingly beautiful.

Tonnen von Hall

Ein Abdruck vom Messer im Herzen

Prepare to be obliterated by their twin guitar pyrotechnics and mesmerizing polyrhythms. Tonnen von Hall's discordant guitar riffs and twisted rhythms push the envelope of tech metal, blending cerebral chromatic harmonies with intuitive solos that soar above the organic machinery below. The thunderous drumming and razor-sharp riffs drive the sound forward, creating a rave-like ecstasy that is both exhilarating and hypnotic.

ZweiTon

Gestalt

Alexander Paul Dowerk's progressive metal project "ZweiTon" steps into the light 11 years after the highly acclaimed debut album "Form" with the crushing and multi-layered successor "Gestalt“. "Gestalt" is a testament to ZweiTon's continuous development and Alexander Dowerk's relentless drive to push the boundaries of the genre.

With a blend of raw energy, technical brilliance and astonishing musical depth, the album sets new standards. Alexander Dowerk himself picks up the microphone and expands the intricate, highly complex riffs and melodies with catchy and powerful vocals and German lyrics.

Anchor and Burden

EXTINCTION LEVEL

Anchor and Burden, the progressive avant-garde doom-jazz post-metal group, descend once more from their kosmonautik pilgrimage with a cataclysmic new album, "EXTINCTION LEVEL".

The depths of this offering are filled with a malevolent intensity, as the album deals with the very end of mankind itself and its inevitable descent into a self-wrought apocalypse that engulfs the earth which cradles it.
