D.O. and SHAKRA celebrate the release of their new album!
Last weekend U.D.O.-legend Udo Dirkschneider and SHAKRA - frontman Mark Fox have been on the road through Germany to introduce their new albums "Mission No. X" and "Fall" all relevant radio stations and to celebrate them on several release parties in the evening. Around 3.000 people have been at these parties in Regensburg (QU), Nürnberg (Rockfabrik) and Bochum (Matrix). Next to the presentation of several new songs from the album the visitors also got to see the two brand new video clips of U.D.O. ("Mean Streets") and SHAKRA ("Chains Of Temptation"). A lot of sleep didn 't remain for Udo and Mark - therefore the interest of radio journalists and fans has been way too big.
So the release of the two albums may come now!
Destruction have their videoclip ready!
"The Alliance Of Hellhoundz", the current video of German Thrashers DESTRUCTION is ready now - and it came out hellish good. In the middle of the hellfire the band is giving everything. Around them you can see all of the song 's guest singers (e.g. DORO, Biff of SAXON, Shagrat of DIMMU BORGIR, Messiah of CANDLEMASS) burning on TV screens. All the special effects in the clip have been arranged by Schmier 's brother Marco. An excellent, outstanding clip!
AXXIS are speeding up - (not only) in the studio!
Step by step the new AXXIS-album "Paradise In Flames" (out on 20th January) is getting ready. Almost all of the songs are done so far and waiting for being mixed and mastered. Next to several AXXIS-typical hymns there will also be some songs, which Bernhard does together with the beautiful female singer Lakonia. They cause a greater variety on the new record, without changing the typical style of the band.
Anyway you need to take good care with "Paradise In Flames". The album will rock and promises to be an extremely heavy output.
The band itself is quite enthusiastic about it. So enthusiastic, that drummer Andre Hilgers couldn 't wait to get to the studio. Police got him while driving too fast, so he now has to pay an expensive ticket plus he will lose his driving licence for four weeks. If you get caught driving too fast on German motorways, unfortunately not even "Paradise In Flames" can help you anymore?
