LIVE in Bremen "Meisenfrei" with Sacrosanct, AUG. 30th

SAVE THE DATE: We’re excited to share the stage with our friends of SACROSANCT (again after our cool gig in Sulingen) as a double headliner show!
We made especially for this show a setlist, we never played before. Of course, there will also be tracks from our current album DIMENSION 5, e.g. FOREVERMORE, who reached number 7 in the German metal charts.
Our german-dutch friends of SACROSANCT made a strong name for themselves in the thrash metal scene after forming in 1988. Their musical style is focused on “edgy, melodic and atmospheric soundscapes”. You can hear this on KIDRON, their latest album.
Discover the POWER of two bands, who play finest Metal with immense energy and melodic finesse.

release special gig

Last Saturday, 26th October, we were guests on the Acoustic Stage at Europe's biggest independent record shop „Hot Shot Records“ in Bremen and had a great time despite the health restrictions! The simultaneous Freimarkt parade in Bremen's city centre didn't make it any easier for us to get to the shop. We played rehearsed versions of our songs, especially rehearsed for this gig. Afterwards there was a signing session for our CDs and double LPs that had just arrived the day before - a incomparable feeling to finally hold them in our hands! A big THANK YOU to Norbert, Volker and team for this great event and of course to ALL FANS! Next live gig is in Hamburg on 30.11. at LOGO - we are really looking forward to it! GREETZ!
