It was incredible! Great weather + great (and incredible many) metal folks + great party time = great METAL weekend!
We´ve never had so many visitors before and like every year - for those who haven´t been there, you should know that you missed the very best sounding metal festival this year! So check some tickets for the next year, because this year it was SOLD OUT!!!
But there´s still another chance to get the vibes of this festival to your home - in Fall Rock Hard “Megazine” will release this year´s very best performances on CD again! So don´t miss it and check this site for news!
I guess nobody - especially me - would have expected that those Ampersand Rock Dinosaurs are such talented dancers… however - check their new Backstreetboys liveshow on one of their upcoming dates…

Hey, what a recording session! The Komplizen der Spielregeln and me had a wonderful time at the breathtaking Temple Studios Malta with one of the most sophisticated and experienced producers I know - Mr. David Vella - who is btw. one of the nicest persons I´ve ever met!
So we recorded in guerilla manner 10 Songs in 6 days and will record the vocal tracks in Cologne within the next weeks. The sound is already great and the songs of course even better
Stay tuned for some updates on this LPCD production and if you´re in the area of Cologne/Bonn/NRW don´t miss their show on the 17th April at the Art Theatre Köln.
For a long time, we didn´t hear or see anything from Man And Mountain, but that has changed now: Lilly Jaeckl, a filmmaker from Berlin has made a clip for the song “Home, I Fear” containing outtakes from her latest work “Where is Europe”, a documentary about Romania. Very touching pictures and a great video - check it out!
Yep, Ampersand just confirmed some shows for April. This time Germany´s alternative rockmusic legend Claus Grapke, former mastermind of Thumb and Alternative Allstars, will join Ampersand on following dates:
