Three years have passed since the release of "Galeere." To Eïs, it was a period of vital changes. Not only did the band have to suffer an enforced name change from Geïst to Eïs in 2010; at the end of 2011 the musicians also parted company. "Wetterkreuz" is a sort of transposition of this time of change. The five tracks are clearly influenced by Scandinavian Black Metal of the mid-Nineties, something that is apparent in main song-writer Alboin"s style of composing and arranging but also in terms of the forceful, yet raw production.
