VI.BE

New lineup & second album:

In 2025 Boris Tauber joined forces with Elias Lefebre (Bass) and Ischa Soetewey (Drums)! A new powerful rhythm section that gets back to the essentials of the Tauber sound: a mix of high energy rock and mellow psychedelic soundscapes with lush vocals. Our upcoming album will be more vocal heavy and catchy to get the crowd in on the action happening on stage! The theme is prehistoric life, we will play it live soon!

The story of the debut, Atlantis:

As a storytelling concept album, Atlantis takes the listener on a musical journey into the unknown, telling the story of a submarine leaving on a mission for raw materials. Discovering Atlantis and torpedoing it to clear the path, accidentally awakening the mighty Kraken. After an epic battle, the crew is defeated and only one of them is left to tell the tale.

The story as a whole can be seen as a critique of the human desire to achieve a set goal, by any means necessary. Neglecting nature, culture and history in the process, ultimately paying with their lives. Then being celebrated as heroes and ultimately forgotten by the world.

The vocals, guitar and some bass were recorded by Tauber and the additional instruments were programmed MIDI.
