Dieter "bornzero" Bornschlegel winner of Best Soloperformance and Composer Award/Germany 2005


DEIN SCHATTEN is an avant-garde dark/wave/metal/NDH/rock band created by German musician DIETER BORNSCHLEGEL aka BornZero. DEIN SCHATTEN is a developmental project with German lyrics; it can be compared to the likes of RAMMSTEIN, JOACHIM WITT, VNV NATION, FUNKERVOGT, FALCO, and
KEILERKOPF with fewer guitars and therefore more electronica. The smooth, captivating, yet hard hitting sounds are indicative of his determination to create a masterpiece with each and every note and lyric.

Born in Dortmund, Germany, 1954, BornZero began at age seven playing the guitar and by the age of twelve escalated to playing in the band TRAUMTORTE. Bornzero also supported GOLDEN EARRING during a show at the Westfalenhalle, the largest concert hall in Germany. By 1972, Bornzero was playing with ATLANTIS, from Hamburg, who has
been considered one of Germany's greatest rock bands. BornZero has also performed tours and T.V. interviews throughout Europe, including English T.V., Grey Whistle Test. After ATLANTIS, BornZero played in the kraut rock band, GURU GURU, a kult band popular in Germany and
Japan. That same year BornZero earned and was awarded the German pop polls title of "Best Guitar Player". In 1982 BornZero wrote the single "About You" for RAMESH WEERATUNGA, which subsequently became a number one hit in Sri Lanka and India. His influences are wide ranging, spanning many cultures and genres. BEATLES, TROGGS, SMALL FACES, KINKS,
SIMON AND GARFUNKEL, BYRDS, BEE GEES, BEACH BOYS are but to name a few of the many. Even though Bornzero tours worldwide (there is a BornZero T-Shirt hanging in the Tokyo Tower Wax Museum) he manages to find time to create complex and in-depth compositions for many other artists.

In the last 10 years, BornZero has been working solo and has produced all the sounds, lyrics and vocals of his CD's "Turbulence", released in 1998 BMG/ARIS) and today the brand new album entitled "Ewiges Eis" Bornzero uses many different pieces of equipment to create his works, but none so important as his iMac. Recording tracks, editing, mixing and sampling are but a few of the services that the 450Mhz machine has to offer. Applications such as "Vision Studio", "Audio Shop" and "T-Racks" are employed to accomplish this. Again, all of BornZero's works reflect a strong need to master the various sounds, instruments and equipment that he and his music have come to be known by.

  • Cornucopia of Sounds
    author: rEdOx

    Excellent album! It's hard to classify it under any one category as Dein Schatten (Your Shadow) brings us some dark, gothic rock and at times some more ebm-sounding tunes. I really enjoyed the tracks Das Tier and Woanders Sein (Tino Domati club remix).

  • REVIEW FROM AUSTRALIA "..come up with a fantastic Dark CD."
    author: Biodef

    After the first listen to this CD you become aware that the production is amazing. On top of this Bornzero actually manufactures every sound on the CD. Put these two together and you come up with a fantastic Dark CD. The CD is different to most in the way the guitar has been used to create a diverse and clear sound instead of a sampled blur used by most artists. Bornzero is obviously master on the guitar and this quality shines. However its not just the guitar, the vocals, the Hip Hop beats, the Jazz and the country style beats are all perfect on this Album. What's more, the vocals are all in German, a refreshing change. This demo disk is gloomy (in a good way) and many people looking for a change in the consist rollout of typical Goth style album would be very impressed. Several tracks on the CD stand out to me for they clearly could become club hits. ?Dein Schatten? is properly on of my more favoured tracks for it demonstrates the artist ability to create a flowing gloomy creative track with many diverse sounds and fantastic production work. While ?Woander Sein? demonstrates the gloomy country style this artist processes with strong vocals and rhythmic guitar sound. Overall this style of music my not be my most favoured, however, people looking for something different but extremely well created containing gloomy gothic, country, classic guitar then this would be a excellent addition to your music collecti

  • Review from UK- "EWIGES EIS is a highly recommended listen"
    author: Mark Bayross

    ein Schatten is the new one-man project of German Dieter Bornschlegel, AKA Bornzero, former member of seventies rock band Atlantis and cult krautrockers Guru Guru, with a career stretching back 30 years. After two singles, EWIGES EIS is the first Dein Schatten album proper. Fusing choral arrangements to military beats and, occasionally, heavy guitars, this will have particular appeal to fans of Witt or Rammstein, especially as Bornzero?s German vocals often sound like Joachim Witt or Till Lindemann. Highly melodic throughout, at times the oppressive atmosphere and sampled choirs even evoke the drama of misunderstood Slovenians Laibach. As with the above-mentioned bands, there is a dark streak of teutonic humour running through this album - all this doom isn?t really supposed to be taken seriously - so the church organ cover of Suzanne Vega (MY NAME IS LUC(FI)A) is obviously meant as a joke. There are also some neat musical touches - the flamenco guitar of the stunning SCHULD UND SÜNDE, the slow-burn backing of strings and spine-chilling female vocals on RESPEKT! - that clearly show this to be the work of a production professional. From the stomping industrial of DAS TIER or the Die Krupps-sounding FREE to the prog electronica of the title track, this often sounds like a distillation of everything that currently sells on the fringes of the German mainstream. And, unfortunately, therein lies the problem - while bands like Wolfshiem and Das Ich regularly enter the charts in Germany, there are very few other markets, outside possibly Scandinavia, where they have yet to break out of the underground. The recent signing of Covenant to Sony subsidiary KA2, plus the interest apparently being shown by the majors in VNV Nation (who, by the way, might want to have a good listen to the keyboard line of ABSCHIED?) and Apoptygma Bezerk - not to mention the all-conquering explosion of Rammstein - may give Bornzero some hope that his music will reach a wider audience, but this interest in darkwave may pass very quickly. After all, ten years ago, everyone wanted to sign the new Ministry. But so what? If you miss out on this, it?s your loss. Mixing elements of Rammstein industrial, Laibach pomp and VNV futurepop, EWIGES EIS is a highly recommended listen.
