The music of Mandrake is voluptuous, sometimes epic, sometimes fragile, supported by "real" strings, low guitars and powered by pounding drums. Above all, the significant voice of Birgit lyrics and music often deal with the forces of nature, especially water, and the desire to reach distant shores and galaxies. On stage, the musicians of "Mandrake" represent themselves as a tight sound wall with heart and brains. The term mandrake (mandragora) is taken from a poisonous plant which is a symbol for spiritual and supernatural powers. In 2010 MANDRAKE set the sails again and will release the new album called “Innocence Weakness” which will include much more doom elements and hellish vocals than previous releases. Be prepared and set the sails to distant shores!!!
