Kyrie Eleison

Kyrie Eleison was an Austrian symphonic rock band, founded 1974 by Gerald Krampl (keyboards) together with two school friends, Karl Novotny (drums) and Felix Rausch (guitar).

Kyrie Eleison was an Austrian symphonic rock band, founded 1974 by Gerald Krampl (keyboards) together with two school friends, Karl Novotny (drums) and Felix Rausch (guitar). The music is symphonic, progressive rock at its finest, with Mellotrons and keyboard leads, and moods ranging from quiet piano passages to walls of sound. They blended the symphonic mastery of Genesis with the thematic aspects of Van der Graaf Generator. Influenced by Genesis during its Nursery Cryme era, Kyrie Eleison recorded Blind Window's Suite in 1975, and The Fountain Beyond The Sunrise in 1976. The boxed-set The Complete Recordings 1974-1978 also includes a third CD containing 70 min. of live acts from 1974, material mostly taken from Blind Windows and some from The Fountain Beyond the Sunrise, with high sound quality. All in all, this boxed-set is a great and complete discography of this underground Austrian Progressive rock band, that more or less remained an underground group until now.
