Our Drummer Matthias ​played in WACKENNNN!


It got loud and muddy – Matthias had the honor of soloing on a monster drum kit on the back of an electric truck from Wacken supporter Volvo Trucks Germany during the “DRUM LIKE A ROCKSTAR” campaign in Wacken. He provided acoustic embellishment during the breaks between the main stages on all 4 days. It was one big, muddy frenzy!

Band info – ANCIENT CURSE

Musical style: Progressive Power Metal

Ancient Curse – the band from the north brought heavy metal to the Caribbean in 1996. The Bremen quartet’s latest album will be released at the end of 2024 – an innovative and spectacular sound sphere: “Dimension 5”.

The new record deal with the scene connoisseurs “El Puerto Records” is perfect. A video clip for the album song “Forevermore” is in the can and more are planned. Numerous elaborately filmed videos are already available on YouTube. Various live performances will follow, including of course a record release party in Bremen at the end of the year.

After the reunion in 2013 and many concerts, Ancient Curse received a very positive, sometimes euphoric response to their 2020 album “The New Prophecy” (released for the first time on CD, double LP and digital). With this epic work, the band built on their greatest success to date: In the mid-1990s, the “Cuban Town Musicians” (quote “Deaf Forever” 2/2020) landed a number 1 hit in Cuba with the song “Plastic Tears” and toured the sugar cane island as state guests and the first Western band after the Beatles. The tour under palm trees was a mega success: “The fans went completely crazy every night,” the band members remember. The song “Plastic Tears” from “The Landing” album topped the radio rock charts on the programme “Metallic Avalanche” for weeks.

With an unchanged line-up from the 90s, Ancient Curse have now recorded nine impressive and multi-layered songs on “Dimension 5”. There is a wide range of sophisticated music to be heard, from thrash attacks, elegiac-symphonic, progressive songs to power ballads. Pure progressive power metal is the common thread running through the album. The name Ancient Curse stands for razor-sharp riffs, energetic power parts, melancholic acoustic interludes, expressive and dynamic vocals and complex arrangements – all developed over many years of playing together.

The professional standard also applies to the live performance: whether as headliner or support (Brainstorm, Rage, Victory, Rough Silk, Tankard and many more), Ancient Curse have always managed to captivate the audience with their energetic live show. Various national awards – including Radio FFN “Local Heroes” and finalist at the Bundesrockfestival – also confirm the high musical quality.
