Allerseelen is the musical project of the Austrian musician Gerhard Petak, also known as Kadmon and Gerhard Hallstatt. Briefly a group in 1987, it has been a solo project since 1989; Petak collaborates with groups for performances. His music is experimental, sometimes post-industrial and military pop and has often fallen into the neo-folk and pagan rock categories.
Allerseelen's recordings have been issued on the private label Aorta, with various distributors, and since 2004 on Ahnstern, a collaboration with Steinklang, a Salzburg imprint. Album design is by Stefan Alt, known as Salt;[1] several have cover art by the Bulgarian artists HaateKaate.[2] Petak has also published his writing as a periodical titled Ahnstern, formerly Aorta.
