With 230 monthly listeners, a lot more “unknown” than the others here :D A band since the late 90s, they call their music kammermusik-core (chambermusic core) and it combines several chamber music instruments with “spoken singing” and metal. The lyrics are German and usually about philosophical topics. Never successful, but they enjoy the project and treat it as a hobby. Originally met them as support for Haggard in 2004 (far more successful, good friends with the band, sometimes some member overlap) and they became one of my favorite bands ever since. Conveniently, the singer sometimes visits the city I live in for his day job, which is when we meet up (as a small band most of their touring is in their region, which is the opposite end of Germany, so I’m not seeing them live that often).
Not my favorites, but 2 bands I still love and listen to often, even smaller:
52 monthly listeners, an American indie rock (with some post-rock, post-punk and industrial influences) duo from 1995, another hobby project that’s active on and off, though the last anyone heard from the founder was in 2019 on Facebook, 6 years since the last album :/
