Information About

Qntal




Qntal is a German "electro-medieval" Band founded in 1991 by Michael Popp , Ernst Horn , and later the vocalist Syrah (aka Sigrid Hausen). It has roots in Estampie , a band of similar genre but different style; Michael Popp and Syrah are the principal members. Horn left the group in 1999 , to concentrate on his other band, Deine Lakaien . He later formed Helium Vola in 2001 . Philipp Groth then joined Qntal.

The band's lyrics are primarily drawn from historical sources. Throughout their first three albums, lyrics were primarily in Latin, medieval German, and a few other European tongues. On Qntal IV, the band added a few songs in English to their body of work.

Qntal's debut US concert took place in September of 2004 at Dracula's Ball in Philadelphia.

"Qntal" is a made-up word that appeared in one of Syrah's dreams. Its pronunciation varies among different sources.
