2009/01/26 - I WANT TO BE A HIPPIE AND I WANT TO PLAY BASS!!!

Hey folks,

as you might know, our bass player Tom left the band a few weeks ago.
After we released that news, we received a lot of eMails and messages from many guys and girls asking, if they could be our next bass player.
We would like to thank everybody who wrote us and who was interested to play bass for us. It was just overwhelming to get so many messages.
So thanks a lot for that – we really appreciate it!

But what we are more excited about is that we have found a new bass player who will join us after our tour!!! Please check our new Promo picture >here< and stay tuned to find out who will be the new DL Hippie on the bass guitar!!!

Today the tour with All That Remains and The Haunted will be unleashed over the European Mainland!
A good ol’ friend of ours Bartosz, who plays bass for FEAR MY THOUGHTS is going to help us out on this fantastic Tour. Please welcome him fervently!!!

See you on tour!

Sincerely, the DL Hippies

2008/12/12 - TOM LEFT THE BAND!

Hey folks, we're not happy to announce, that we parted ways with Tom after more than 7 common years. Due to some musical and personal differences we agreed with him, that it's better to make a cut.
There's no shittalking, no bad mood or angry feelings. We just decided, that Deadlock should go on with a new bass player. We thank Tom for all the amazing years, the great time, his friendship and all our happy experiences together!
All future shows will be played with session musicians until we found a new member for that part. More news on our search for the new DL family member will be posted soon!

2008/10/12 - MANIFESTO ALBUM RELEASE SHOW IN REGENSBURG!

Hey Leute,

wir freuen uns sehr, Euch mitteilen zu können, dass wir die Release Show zu unserem neuen Album MANIFESTO im wundervollen Gloria in Regensburg feiern können!
Fast ein Jahr nach unserer fantastischen 10 Year Anniversary Show, an die wir heute noch oft und gerne zurückdenken, kehren wir an diesen glorreichen Ort inmitten unserer Heimatstadt zurück, um wieder eine derartig fette bzw. noch fettere Party mit Euch zu starten!!!
Am 15.11.2008 wollen wir mit Euch allen unser neues Album feiern und Euch das neue Material zum ersten Mal auch live vorstellen. Deshalb laden wir Euch ganz herzlich ein, diesen Abend mit uns zu teilen, mit uns abzurocken, zu tanzen und Spass zu haben! Wir haben wieder viele Specials für Euch geplant und können Euch versichern, dass wir für einige Überraschungen sorgen werden! :-)
Unterstützt werden wir an diesem Abend von zwei hochkarätigen Bands, die schon lange gute Freunde von uns sind und mit denen wir schon so manche Bühnen zerlegt haben: ANIMA aus Nordhausen und MYRA aus Leipzig. Es wird Zeit, dass wir den beiden Ossi-Kombos mal zeigen, wie hier in der Oberpfalz Party gemacht wird! Für ordentlich musikalische Abwechslung ist bei diesem glanzvollen Package auf alle Fälle gesorgt!

Einlass im Gloria ist um 18.00 Uhr. Die erste Band startet eine Stunde später um 19.00 Uhr.
Wir stehen dann um ca. 20.45 Uhr auf der Bühne - Ende der Show wird auch bereits um 22.00 Ihr sein, sodass auch die jüngeren Gäste die Show vollständig sehen können und auch die öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel noch easy zu erreichen sind.

Dies bedeutet allerdings nicht, dass um 22.00 Uhr schon Schluss ist. Ganz im Gegenteil!
Wir starten direkt nach der Live-Show mit einer grandiosen Aftershow-Party feat. DJ :DONE: und DJ :LOONYTUNE: (Klonklub/Bassline Paranoia). Für gute Musik vom Plattenteller und geile Tanzmucke ist somit bestens gesorgt und wir laden Euch ein, hier noch bis in die Nacht hinein mit uns zu feiern!

Der Eintritt an der Abendkasse kostet 10.00 EUR.
Unseren ganz schnellen "true" Fans, die unser Album bereits vorbestellt haben, noch vorbestellen und/oder im Laden kaufen, bieten wir aber einen ganz besonderen Special Deal:

MANIFESTO wird ab 14.11 in den Läden stehen oder Euch zugestellt werden, wenn Ihr das Album bereits vorbestellt habt. Und bei Vorlage eines Kaufbelegs (Bestellbestätigung/Rechnung/Kassenbon), der den Erwerb des Albums vor der Release Show bestätigt, zahlst Du an dem Abend nur 5,00 EUR Eintritt!!! Ist das cool? Yeahhhh....!!!

Wir freuen uns auf Euch und die Show, Leute! Das wird ein Fest....!!!


Liebe Grüße

Die DL-Discoboys

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.

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!!!
