Dirkschneider

 

On April 2nd, the single called “Where The Angels Fly” came out, which has been bubbling the rumor mill for weeks: when the video for the song went online, it triggered a huge social media storm.

The name practically explains what is behind the music project: Rock legend Udo Dirkschneider gathered his closest peer group around him in autumn 2020 and founded a spectacular new project.

The first concrete information is already available about the details of Dirkschneider & The Old Gang – in addition to Udo, his son Sven, the former Accept members, bassist Peter Baltes and guitarist Stefan Kaufmann, as well as singer Manuela Bibert are also on board – the extent “of this prominent formation and their further plans will only be announced in the coming weeks. Just this much: Anyone who had previously believed that they already knew all the essentials is mistaken. Dirkschneider & The Old Gang started with a sensational video, but only vaguely indicated the entire dimension. So keep your eyes and ears open: From now on it will be really exciting!

 


 

May 21, 2021, will see Herman Frank, iconic guitarist of bands such as ACCEPT and VICTORY, release his fifth solo- album, entitled “Two For A Lie”, through powerhouse label AFM Records.

Frank has been an integral part of the German metal scene since the early 80s. Starting with ACCEPT to VICTORY to his solo project, which was launched in 2009, the Hanoverian has proved a receipe for uncompromising heavy metal. With his highly acclaimed solo- records “Loyal To None”, “Right In The Guts”, “The Devils Ride Out” and “Fight The Fear” Frank and his comrades-in-arms are causing storms of enthusiasm in both the press and the fans. Without any doubt, his new album “Two For A Lie” will seamlessly follow on from this. True to the motto “Never change a winning team”, Herman Frank has once again put his faith in the collaboration with MASTERPLAN front vocalist Rick Altzi and JADED HEART bassist Michael “Mülli” Müller, newly hired were guitarist Mike Pesin and drummer Kevin Kott on board of the battleship. Like its predecessors, “Two For A Lie”impresses through Frank’s characteristic guitar play, in which razor-sharp riffs meet rousing solos, Alchi’s brilliant vocals and the rhythm section grooving like clockwork provide the rest.

After the recent, first single for the thunderous track “Eye Of The Storm”, Frank has just unleashed a brand new lyric video for the second album song “Venom”. Heavy as hell riffs underline a catchy and epic ride, one that will most likely become a timeless metal anthem!

MOTORJESUS are playing a high-octane mixture of classic heavy metal and dirty hard rock. Today the group around singer Chris „Howling” Birx released their brand-new studio album “Hellbreaker”, that keeps receiving awesome feedback almost everywhere – for example it’s within the top ten most important German magazine-soundchecks: Rock Hard (#3) and Metal Hammer (#7).

And as if this wasn’t enough, they also have a new videoclip up their sleeves, that also just has been released Friday, April 9

The album track „Firebreather” was lucky to receive an own video with a dash of Star Wars/doomsday mood and scenery. Curious? Then watch here
