Artist Biography
Available in:

"Janus" is a German band consisting of two main members, Dirk 'RIG' Riegert and Tobias 'Toby' Hahn. They got their name from the Roman god Janus, who has two faces, so he is connected to conflicting nature. He is the god of beginning and end, doorway and gateway. That is characteristic for the band, on one hand their music is electrical andvery aggressive, on the other hand it is made smooth with classical instruments. RIG is the creative head, the singer and songwriter of their lyrics which are in only German. Toby makes most of the music. As a perfect piano-player he is also responsible for the remixes. Of course there are some other helping members, first of all for their live performances. The style of the music is not easy to define. Derived from their name the two faces aspect in their music is omnipresent. It is most associated with the gothic- and electro-scene but it also has a huge bunch of classical music parts. However the main focus is laying on their texts which tell about hate, mourning, despair, madness and all the fears living in most of us.
