DIABOLOS DUST – unterschreiben bei Massacre Records / sign with Massacre Records
21. Juni 2011DEUTSCH: Diabolos Dust existieren seit 2007 unter eben jenem Namen. Nach etlichen Wechseln kristallisierte sich die heutige Besetzung mit Jürgen (Ex-Flood Of Ages, El-k-mino) am Mikro, Roland (Ex-Sengaya) am Bass und den beiden Gründungsmitgliedern Toni (Gitarre) und Stefan (drums) heraus.
Diabolos Dust steht für kompromisslosen klassischen Metal der 80er Jahre. Eine bloße Kopie ist die Band aber beileibe nicht, vielmehr greift sie die Trademarks dieser Ära auf und verleiht ihnen durch eingängiges und variables Songwriting neue Eigenständigkeit.
Der Sound lebt von den verschiedensten Einflüssen aus dem Metalbereich und somit wird jeder Song zu einem eigenen Kunstwerk.
Wuchtiges Powerdrumming und der treibende Bass liefern das Fundament für die solide Gitarrenarbeit und die kraftvollen Vocals. Mit einer Rhythmusfraktion, die weiß wie man Druck erzeugt und mehrstimmiges Shouting wird ein eigenständiges Markenzeichen gesetzt.
Diabolos Dust Lineup
Roland Zehrer – Bass/Backing Vocals
Jürgen Dachl – Vocals
Stefan Fesser – Drums
Anton H. Lini – Guitars/Backing Vocals

Diabolos Dust play tough 80′s metal. But the band isn’t a copy of other bands in this genre. Diabolos Dust use the trademarks of this era and make the sound unique with their catchy and variable songwriting.
The sound is also characterized by various influences from the metal scene and so every song is a piece of art on it’s own.
Monstrous power drumming and a driving bass provide the foundation for a solid guitar work and powerful vocals. With a rhythm section that knows how to create pressure and polyphonic shouting DIABOLOS DUST’s independent trademark’s created.

LEGION OF THE DAMNED – heissen Gitarrist willkommen / Welcomes Guitarist
10. Juni 2011DEUTSCH: Twan Van Geel ist ein neuer Legionär. Die Feldpost wollen wir euch natürlich nicht vorenthalten:
ENGLISH: Twan Van Geel is a new legionary. We don’t want to withhold the army postal:
“After guitarist Richard Ebisch quite the band around 3 weeks ago we have not been sitting still” says singer Maurice Swinkels, “The day after Richard’s departure I already had in mind to call guitarist Twan van Geel, I’ve known him for more than 10 years already and I knew he would be the perfect replacement”.
“I called Twan that evening to tell him the situation in Legion of the damned and asked him if he would be intrested in a meeting with Harold, Erik and me, it didn’t really took long before he called me back and said he would be looking forward to it” explains Maurice
“It was really a surprise when Maurice called me” starts Twan to explain, “We have known eachother for some years but he has never called me on the phone before, so I knew that whatever he was about to tell me had a special meaning, I knew that he would not call me about the weather ofcourse”(laughs) “Asking me to be their new guitarplayer struck me as a bomb, Legion of the damned has become a band that no one can deny or go around it ofcourse” Twan continues. “Therefor it didn’t really took me a long time before I decided to take the shot and meet the rest of the gang.”
Maurice: “After we invited Twan and spoke to him about the in’s and out’s of Legion of the damned one week later we met up in our rehearsalroom playing Son of the jackal, Cult of the dead and Death’s head march that he already prepared at home, it truely felt as if the band is complete again” Maurice continues “The next day Harold, Erik and me had another meeting with the 3 of us and decided to take Twan van Geel as permit guitarplayer”. when Maurice called Twan the next morning to give him the good news, Twan states: “Hell yeah! be able to play in Legion of the damned is an offer I can’t refuse, be able to finally play with the big toys so to speak! Richard has been part of Legion of the damned since the very beginning and together with Maurice, Harold and Erik, he made what Legion of the damned is today, replacing Richard won’t be an easy task, thats for sure, but nevertheless and humble as well as honoured I am to replace his spot and complete the band again and ready to strike with full force”
with full of joy and happiness Maurice states: “Since the departure of Richard I had no intentions to cancel any of our shows therefor we welcome Twan van Geel and we are very happy with his arrival, although its sad Richard left the band we were not planning on finding a 2nd Richard, Twan is a different person with different opinions and other inspirations which I think will only turn out positive in the musical direction of Legion of the damned”.
“We also want to thank every other person who emailed us for auditions or were able to help us out, we appreciate their input, thank you!”
