2008/04/13 - NEW BOOKING AGENCY - SONGWRITING FOR NEW ALBUM STARTED

We're happy to anounce, that with immediate effect DRAGON PRODUCTIONS will manage all our booking duties in the future. We're joining the roster with great bands like Volbeat, Firewind, Dew-Scented and many more. For more information and all contact details click here.

Furthermore we want you to know, wha's going on here at the moment.
We already started with the songwriting for our new album. You know, that it's pretty hard to write bad songs like we do, so we have to take a break in playing shows and back out of stages for a while, except for a few exclusive festival appearances.

The new album is going to be released in November, the studio is booked for beginning of August and we're having a looooooot of work to do for that new piece of crap.
But be sure, that we're going to keep you updated regularly. So stay tuned for more news from time to time!

2008/02/27 - CONTRACT WITH LIFEFORCE EXTENDED - PETA2 CAMPAIGN STARTED - NEW SONG UP

Hey ladies and gentlemen,
it's a big pleasure for us to let you know, that we signed a new contract to continue our collaboration with LIFEFORCE RECORDS for three more albums. They're doing an excellent job for Deadlock, so it's been an pretty easy decision to extend our existing deal with them. As you know, we're the only good band on their label roster, so we couldn't take the responsibility to leave them alone with all those other poorly acts. ;-)

This is what Lifeforce CEO Stefan Lüdicke has to say about our new signing:
“I'm very happy that we have secured three more albums with DEADLOCK, one of the most promising bands around and not to forget one of my personal favorites on Lifeforce. I'm really looking for the great things to come in the future and we at Lifeforce will be part of. You can be sure, DEADLOCK is a band you'll hear and see from a lot in the coming months and years!”

At the moment we're supporting the peta2 campaign THE CANADIANS with a brand new song called "Kill Kill Kill" to increase attention to the shameless seal hunting in Canada.
So check the official THE CANADIANS website, listen to our new output and let us know what you think.
Furthermore please do us and the seals in Canada a favour and sign the petition here. Please support the campaign and help to stop this fucking cruelty!!!

But we won´t stop and continue our chosen path! We´re having a lot of plans for 2008 and rumours say, that we´re even going to release a new album at the end of the year. We´ll see, if this comes true....;-)

2007/11/17 - 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY SHOW

2007/11/14 - OFFICIAL STATEMENT - SHOW IN AS (B)

Some of you guys probably heard about our cancellation of the show in As/ Belgium saturday 11th. After some comments in our guestbook and on our myspace homepage we decided to write a statement, too.

We were booked for saturday 11th to play a show at jh de balans/ As. The booking went it's usual way. We forwarded our stage rider to the local promoter in time and didn't get a response concerning problems in organizing a suitable PA system. When we arrived saturday afternoon we immediately recognized that there was no real PA at the venue. Anyways we started to build up our own backline in order to do a soundcheck. But due to manifold reasons a soundcheck was simply not possible. There was no stereo DI box for our hard disc recorder, that provides all our keyboard tracks. The base drum trigger didn`t work. There weren`t any monitors for our vocalists or drummer. These are necessary because our drummer uses In Ear to regulate the keyboard tracks. Additionally the PA system lacked the usual gates, hall effects and compressors. In the end we were supposed to play without the use of a PA system. These simple facts made it impossible for us to play. We talked to the local promoter, who claimed that he is not responsible for the ridiculous PA system. We made him clear that it is not possible to play without our keyboard tracks. In order to find a solution we offered him the following: He should bear our expenses (the rent for our van, gas and our driver/merch guy) and we renounced on the rest of the agreed salary. We think this was a fair solution for both parties.

Actually we want to state that our stage rider has the purpose to prevent such incidents. We recomment suitable equipment in our rider to provide us the possibility to play a good show for all the kids who show up and pay to see us. This was not the case in As. We feel sorry for the kids in As who looked forward to see us live on stage, but it was not our fault. We were ready to play, our backline was working and we tried to find a technical solution, but the local situation turned out to be hopeless. In the end the so called PA system wasn`t used by any of the playing bands.


2007/11/13 - BACK FROM TOUR

Since nearly two weeks we are thrown back into our real lives after an unbelievable adventure with our buddies from NEAERA. The "Armamentarium Tour" was nothing but incredible and we want to say a BIG thank you to all the promoters and all the ladies and gents who came up to the shows and head-banged the hell out of their cities!
Also big hails to Thomas for his unending patience, power and showing us how naked asses on streets could look like!

We finally finished the recordings of our third full length assault WOLVES and can’t wait to let these bastard out to rip some flesh. We as the band are so extremly satisfied with the recordings and the overwhelming production by JACOB HANSEN. He fucking rules!
We continued the path that we started with our first album "the arrival" in 2002 -
on this third full-length you can expect the next step of enthralling keyboard overkills, bombastic orchestral stuff and fast lead-attacks combined with one of the most talented female vocalist around, Sabine Weniger. With her songwriting vocation, our songs getting more depth, variability and emotion.
For us it´s definitely the best and most innovative work we've ever created. We´re curious to the audiences reactions and hope, that you, all our fans and listeners will love our new baby as much as we do. Be aware - The wolves are coming!
