Epitome Of Torture

Sodom

“The devil is in the detail,” as the old saying goes. Translated to Sodom vocalist/bassist Tom Angelripper’s sharp-tongued and highly critical powers of observation, you might also say: the worst perversions often hide behind seemingly harmless terms. What are we referring to? For example to ‘Katjuscha’, one of twelve hard-as-nails songs which Sodom present on their latest studio album, Epitome Of Torture. After all, Sodom’s ‘Katjuscha’ has little to do with the same-named folk song by Mikhail...
Lay My Soul To Waste

A Pale Horse Named Death

On the surface, A Pale Horse Named Death are impressive. But you´ll want to dig deeper and immerse yourself in all the sonic and lyrical layers, because the band isn´t afraid to plume the depths of darkness that humanity is capable of. It´s murky stuff, but someone has to do it.Sal Abruscato and Matt Brown have followed 2011´s incredible introduction And Hell Will Follow Me with Lay My Soul to Waste, which keeps the band´s patented signature formula of slow, deliberate sludge and head-down...

Kingdom Come

Fame and fortune have always played a minor role in Kingdom Come mastermind Lenny Wolf’s longstanding career. In fact, his more than 30 years as an artist have been fuelled first and foremost by musical challenges and the desire to keep evolving. His credo has always been: authenticity before commercial considerations. “Naturally, nobody is happier than I am when my music is loved by as many fans as possible,” he says, “but these kinds of aspects are irrelevant when it comes to creating a new...
Sundancer

Fair Warning

There are very few rock groups worldwide whose musical substance and personnel structure has been as stable over the past two and a half decades as that of Fair Warning. The German rock act has released studio and live albums at regular intervals since 1991 without ever manifesting any significant weaknesses. So you’d better mark 27 May 2013 (Germany: 24 May 2013, US/Canada: 28 May 2013) in your diary, because that’s the scheduled release day of Sundancer, the eleventh offering by the band...
Cybersteria

Powerworld

The new Powerworld album proves unmistakably: What was considered as Orwellian fiction back in 1984 has become reality in 2013 – the surveillance society. In times of Facebook and Skype, true privacy seems to exist only where exposure through the media is consistently rejected. “There’s almost a kind of hysteria when it comes to the Internet and digital pseudo-realities,” Powerworld mastermind Ilker Ersin explains the background of the band’s latest album title, Cybersteria, a combination – you...

Today we're very proud to announce the following News.

POWERWORLD

DAVID REECE CONFIRMED AS NEW VOCALIST

THIRD ALBUM VIRTUALITY SCHEDULED FOR RELEASE IN SPRING 2013

It’s been the perfect surprise: the German metal band POWERWORLD have enlisted American vocalist David Reece (Accept, Bangalore Choir) to replace Andrew ‘Mac’ McDermott, who recorded the vocal parts on their second album Human Parasite in 2010 and sadly passed away in August 2011. Rumours that interims shouter Michael Bormann, who helped out on POWERWORLD’s tour with Axel Rudi Pell, would sing on the upcoming album, have proved unfounded. Bassist Ilker Ersin: “It’s true that we briefly toyed with the idea, but for various reasons we decided not to follow it up.” Ersin is all the more happy about his new colleague, David Reece: “It’s an amazing experience for me to be working with an American instead of a European musician for the first time in my career, especially since David is an experienced vocalist. The first songs he recorded for POWERWORLD have confirmed my expectations.”

Reece, who succeeded Udo Dirkschneider on the Accept album Eat The Heat in 1989, went on to tour with Accept and then founded Bangalore Choir before releasing his celebrated solo debut Universal Language three years ago, is also looking forward to his new challenge: “POWERWORLD sound more progressive and intense than the stuff I recently worked on.I feel that my voice suits their material perfectly, and I’ll work hard on delivering my optimum performance. I’m glad to be back home, because being married to a German woman, Germany is my favourite country in Europe.”

The new album will be called Virtuality and has been scheduled for release in spring 2013. According to Ersin, it’s not a concept album but a recording which “reflects the madness in the virtual and also in the real world.” Stylistically, Virtuality is a mix of modern metal with progressive influences and classic hard rock. Reece: “We can hardly wait to introduce the new material to our fans and go on stage with them as soon as possible, particularly since we have found our ideal record company in SPV.” Along with David Reece and Ilker Ersin, POWERWORLD 2012/2013 consist of Andreas Rippelmeier (guitar), Marco Grasshoff (keyboards) and Guido Gallus (drums).
