Weltschmerz (the name is inspired by one episode
of the book "Glass Inferno") is one man project based in Prague.
It started at autumn 1998 but the first music attempts reach untill
three or four years ago. It was just a school of an arrangement
and a programming of sounds combined with technical
problems. The best songs of those early times will be
realised once again for the next demo.

Euphoria`s Collapse, the real debut demo, was composed an recorded
during spring `99. It contents ten new tracks and two older ones
as bonuses. Something happened. There are many faults of beginners
but it`s a great promise for future. You can hear all future
weapons of Weltschmerz here. The best of old EBM combined
with a fresh wind of present music styles from drum`n`bass
to american neometal roofing by dark lyrics about pain and hopeless
fight against...

Next demo called Something About You (And Me)
very quickly appeared at October of the same year
and it was completly made during previous two months. These songs (inclusive
of Depeche Mode`s In Your Room) are about broken relationship so they`re
very hateful, hard and sad simultaneously. Motto inside the booklet "Is it happiness if you make it through anybody elses sadness ?" is truly from the author heart. Although Something... was realised during a few days the music face to face to the first act is quite perceptible. All good things remain and the worse ones were eliminated.

The year 2000. Here is Cold . It took time from January to July and finally
were out at September. Album contains eight songs from Weltschmerz
and also four cover versions (Priessnitz, Smrt mladého sebevraha,
Kurtizány z 25. avenue and The Cure - a strange choice, isn`t it ?).
The last "hidden" track is based on samples by Clawfinger from their
Jukebox program. There`s not any great change in music style but all
is made with maximal perfection without any weak spot.

And what about future ? It`s necessary to complete the kit-list (mainly
a new sampler at last), to start to make any live acts, to break through
to a czech electronic community (or more if it could be possible) and another
music project Open makes ready.
