The band was formed in
Berlin during 2007 by vocalist Sotiria Schenk, guitarist Christoph Hessler, bassist Philipp Schardt, drummer Philipp Schadebrodt and keyboard player Golo Schultz. With the help of production team Valicon, Eisblume released their first EP titled "Unter dem Eis" (German for "Under the Ice") in 2008. In January 2009, Eisblume released their single "Eisblumen" (
German for
"Frost Flowers"), a
cover of
Subway to Sally's song originally released in 2005. The Eisblume version, which was produced by Ingo Politz of Valicon, reached number 3 on the German singles charts and went on to become the 43rd best-selling single of 2009 in Germany. The song's video also earned the band a nomination for the "Best National Video" at the 2009
ECHO awards. They were also nominated for three
VIVA Comet awards in 2009: "Best Newcomers", Best Online Star" and "Best Video". Their first album
Unter dem Eis was released in March 2009 by Universal Music. In the spring of 2009 they began their own headlining tour in support of the album. They also were supported by Swiss band
Lacrimosa during their German tour dates in September 2009. In March 2010, the band announced that they were set to record "Fleurs de glace", a French version of the band's debut single "Eisblume", with French singer
Jena Lee. In January 2012 the band released their second album,
Ewig and disbanded one year later. ==Band members==
