Parzival (band)
Parzival is a band from Copenhagen, Denmark. Their musical style is somewhat reminiscent of that of Slovenian pioneers Laibach, but differs from it in that it has a less electronic sound, and incorporates elements of medieval music, Gregorian chants, and an overall epic feel. All of the band's lyrics are in German and Latin (except ''Noblesse Oblige'' LP, lyrics of which are mainly in Russian by famous Russian poets of the 19th century, like Alexander Pushkin), to suit the group's highly Wagnerian style. The core of the band is Dimitrij Bablevskij, originally from Russia, but quite a few Danish guest musicians appear on their albums. Though hard to define, the band's music appeals mainly to the goth, metal, neo-folk and industrial scenes, and has achieved a modest cult following within their respective subcultures. The band was earlier known as Stiff Miners, releasing two albums (''Giselle'' and '' Vox Celesta'') under that moniker. Their current name comes from Wolfram von E ...

Giselle (album)
''Giselle'' (; ), originally titled ''Giselle, ou les Wilis'' (, ''Giselle, or The Wilis''), is a romantic ballet (" ballet-pantomime") in two acts with music by Adolphe Adam. Considered a masterwork in the classical ballet performance canon, it was first performed by the Ballet du Théâtre de l'Académie Royale de Musique at the Salle Le Peletier in Paris on 28 June 1841, with Italian ballerina Carlotta Grisi as Giselle. It was an unqualified triumph. It became hugely popular and was staged at once across Europe, Russia, and the United States. The ghost-filled ballet tells the tragic, romantic story of a beautiful young peasant girl named Giselle and a disguised nobleman named Albrecht, who fall in love, but when his true identity is revealed by his rival, Hilarion, Giselle goes mad and dies of heartbreak. After her death, she is summoned from her grave into the vengeful, deadly sisterhood of the Wilis, the ghosts of unmarried women who died after being betrayed by their lov ...
