The Classy Austrian Power Metal of Serenity
POWERLINE A.D.'s Marc Garrison interviews Georg Neuhauser, vocalist of Austrian Power metal group Serenity.
POWERLINE: So let's talk a bit about how you got into singing, the development of your style, and your influences.
GEORG: I started singing when I was a kid — I think I was 4 or something like that. My mother was quite famous in the local folk music scene so she sometimes took me with her and we were singing some folk stuff together at birthday parties or other events. When I was six I got Seventh Son of a Seventh Son from Iron Maiden as a birthday present from my sister! So from that time it was clear — I'll be a rock singer someday.
My really first love was Queen. I loved the choirs and the characteristics of Freddie's voice. I'm so sad that I never had the chance to see them in the original line-up. So when I was 18, I founded a cover band with my school friend Thomas Buchberger (now he's the SERENITY guitarist) and we naturally covered bands like Queen, and a bit of Europe, Van Halen or Toto. So that was the time when I learned most. I improved my voice and my stage acting
POWERLINE: Many of your influences, in addition to the music you rate very highly is of the newer generation of metal bands, like Symphony X, Kamelot,
Firewind and so forth. It's interesting to see this transition from responses that are more often than not Maiden, Sabbath, and Priest.
GEORG: I was born in 1982 and I really got into the "real" metal scene quite late in 1998 when I discovered Edguy and Hammerfall! Before I only knew Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth, Scorpions, Queen but I was really impressed by the newer bands! And to be honest, my favorite band at that time was Rhapsody. I still love their first two album!.
POWERLINE: As a vocalist, do you spend a lot of time training certain aspects of your voice, practicing scales and so on, or is it mostly just a singing in the shower kind of approach?
GEORG: I don't practice that much because I'm still in this cover band and especially in winter we play many gigs and so my voice won't get cold. So I always try to do some work out, to eat quite healthy and sleep a lot. That's more important than practicing scales.
POWERLINE: How much are you involved in the writing process of Serenity? Do you focus predominantly on the vocals or have a hand in the creation of the music as well?
GEORG: The main song ideas come from our guitar player Thomas. He sends me the basics and then I create the vocal lines. So we both are the main songwriters at the moment. And Mario our keyboard player is responsible for nearly all lyrics. But Thomas and myself are the main characters behind SERENITY all in all.
POWERLINE: I see Serenity as firmly entrenched in the Progressive/Power metal genre, and yet your music has a definitive sound that is quite unique in an extremely overpopulated genre. Do you guys as a group actively pursue the idea of an individual sound, or does it simply come out that way?
GEORG: I think it simply came out that way! Naturally we are influenced by progressive and power metal bands but we have our own idea how our sound should sound like and it's a mixture from many different styles. Melodic death metal melodies, bombastic choirs, orchestration, clean vocals and lightly progressive parts.
POWERLINE: Your vocals on Fallen Sanctuary mark quite a departure from Words Untold and Dreams Unlived. In the debut, they seem quite a bit more reserved, whereas Fallen Sanctuary has an emotional depth and power that is quite a change. Was this a specific choice on your part or simply a bi-product of the newer material?
GEORG: Thanks. I mean on Fallen Sanctuary, I had more time to work on my vocals in the studio and my friend Lanvall from Edenbridge, who produced the vocal parts, really helped me to improve my emotional side. And I really have to add that the 3 tours in 2007 really helped me to improve my vocal style.
POWERLINE: Speaking of the newer material, Fallen Sanctuary wins album of 2008 in my book. Tell me about some of the stylistic changes you guys pursued when writing and recording the new album.
GEORG: From the first second of the writing process for FS we wanted to add more bombastic elements. We all love Queen and Nightwish so it was clear: less progressive but more bombastic and with Oliver Phillips and Lanvall we found the best guys to help us with our plan. And once again - the tours showed us that the progressive parts are not the kind of music we wanna play live. It should rock!!
POWERLINE: You just returned from tour with Kamelot. Any high points?
GEORG: The tour started with a high point: 2400 crazy people in Tilburg and when we entered all of them were screaming. What a feeling!! We really got a big response everywhere and then came the worst thing that could happen. I got a inflammation of the middle ear and a heavy flu and we were forced to cancel the rest of the tour. But every band knows this feeling and can't do anything against it. So life really sucks sometimes! But the first leg of the tour was amazing!
POWERLINE: Serenity is your main musical focus at the moment, however you recently collaborated with a massive group of musicians on the newest Fairyland album. Having worked in the studio for both Serenity albums, what were some of the different experiences you had recording with Fairyland?
GEORG: The big difference between recording vocals for SERENITY or for another band is the fact that in SERENITY I write and sing the lines and for example in Fairyland Phil (the main man of Fairyland) explained to me what I should sing and I did it the way he wanted to. It was a great experience because singing a vocal line that another guy has composed for you is really interesting.
POWERLINE: Will we be seeing more of these extracurricular side projects in the
future?
GEORG: I don't think so. Perhaps if Tobias Sammet wants me for his Avantasia thing;) but all in all my voice belongs to SERENITY.
POWERLINE: How does far down the horizon until we see you guys in the states?
GEORG: Actually there are plans to tour in the states after our upcoming album next year! We really would love it - but it's very expensive to tour the States and you really need a big fanbase. BUT one day we'll make it for sure. Thanks for your support and cheers!

Other popular clothing brands that are driven towards the teenagers and young adults are those like christian louboutin discount, buy louboutin shoes, Cheap Christian Louboutin, canada goose and other skater and motocross related styles. They have all kinds of styles, but tend to be more moderately priced and are therefore more appealing, Chanel
