Not a lot of information about the band to be found otherwise. The band consisted of four members: Donato Santarcangeli, Fabio Magistrali, Giuseppe Tonolini, and Paolo Mauri, a few of which went on to play in various other Italian bands over the years. If anyone has some concrete info about these fantastically gloomy fellows, feel free to contribute below.
That all said, here's the information for there three 12'' releases.
Weimar Gesang- Even Stone Pales 12'' (1984)
1. Held Inside
2. Annual Ring
3. Chantal's Secret
4. Held Inside Again
Weimar Gesang- The Colours Of Ice (1985)
1. Deceit
2. Like In A Mirror
3. Melt Your Sight
4. One Promise Less
5. Torn Envelope
Weimar Gesang- No Given Path 12'' (1986)
1. Du Bist
2. The Secret Us
3. Light - Tight Place
4. When The Moon Splits The Gloom
5. Worn Out Prayer
6. Mother Of Nothing

EDIT: A comrade over at the Krupnik blog has featured the Afterglow compilation, which features three further Weimar Gesang traxx, none of which appear on these 12 inches! Click here to nab it.
Otherwise, as previously mentioned, I do have a really shoddy live recording from 1985 kicking around. I can't really recommend it, but if anyone's dying to hear it, shout below and I'll upload it separately.

It seems that there was more to Italy in the 80s than Cheetahchrome Motherfucker. Who knew?
Thanks for the share, Frankie.

Thabnks for sharing. I see they have a fan-myspace http://www.myspace.com/weimargesang and also released a CD in 2003 which is a compilation of Colours of ice and No Given Path http://www.electrocity.it/Discografie/weimar_gesang.htm .
anon- thanks for the contribution! i have parts of that tape floating around, but not the whole thing. i'll add it above, if you don't mind?
Oh thank you! I'm italian and I was looking forward to see Weimar Gesang on your page!
Hi frankie,
obviously feel free to add "Our Silent Growth" above...
Here's also the tracks from their split with Plastic Trash,
but it's a very muddy-sounding transfer tape that i've got here unfortunately... :-/

I'm always looking forward to your new posts..you introduce me to obscure bands (at least for me)..keep up the good work..as always, an amazing post!
Some notes about Weimar Gesang:
1. The ep's list is correct
2. The "our silent growth" cassette was released before the first ep, the right list of songs is:
A1 - Frail Moments
A2 - Torn Souls
A3 - The Play
B1 - Show Me
B2 - Motionless Dance
B3 - Frail Moments (Second View)
3. On soulseek there is a widely available "our silent growth" that it is not correct, it is actually a mislabed vm2 split tape that was attached to the number 2 of my fanzine "Vm".
It was released between the first and he second ep, and the right list of songs for vm2 split tape is:
B1- Our Silent Growth
B2 - Remaining Years
B3 - The Dragging
B4 - Light-Tight Place
4. The songs from Afterglow compilation are all from "our silent growth" or "vm2 split tape" but in a very bad quality.
5. I've never seen a copy of the compilation-cd mentioned in http://www.electrocity.it/Discografie/weimar_gesang.htm, I think it was actually a "projected" release...
WG was:
Paolo Mauri - bass, keyboards and vocals
Fabio Magistrali - drums and keyboards
Beppe Tonolini - guitar until "The colours of Ice"
Donato Santarcangeli - guitar on "No given path"
Cesare Malfatti - guitar after "No given path"
Enrica Toninelli - keyboards on "Our silent growth"
allelimo, thank you tremendously for all the additional information between these two posts! muchly appreciated for filling in the gaps!
you're both great guys! thanks!
