Introducing Koburg Andersen, the musical force behind the symphonic metal project KOBURG. Hailing from Winchester, UK, Koburg is a true one-woman band, writing, singing, and playing all the instruments in her compositions. With two successful albums, ‘The Enchantress’ and ‘Position Of Power,’ Koburg, alongside co-producers Dean Baker (Galahad) and Anthony Malpass (Naked Lunch), is back in the studio working on a new album. During lockdown, she taught herself to play the cello and viola, enriching her music with orchestral components.

Her commitment to musical exploration and innovation is evident in her diverse body of work.
“Silent Voices” serves as a poignant exploration of darkness, the struggle between good and evil, and the call to confront the challenges of the world. In Koburg’s words, “At times, it feels like the world is being lost to darkness, so much war and unrest, and yet so few are willing to stand up and do something about it. Often people prefer to look the other way.”With its resonant and timely themes, “Silent Voices” stands as a testament to Koburg’s personal struggles, making it a powerful and impactful musical piece. Her unique fusion of symphonic metal and compelling storytelling solidifies Koburg Andersen’s position as an artist pushing creative boundaries and leaving an indelible mark on the music scene.
