Assignment is an Art Metal Band from Gütersloh, Germany.
Assignment stands for music without boundaries, as our musical influences are spread over the whole Rock & Metal genre. From Death Metal to progressive Rock but having always the focus on the melodies and arrangements...
Our first record Progressive changes has been distributed by our own management and the company Rock Express from Belgrade. We were amazed by the positive feedback. This gave us an endless motivation and was the best reason to go on for the second record.
HISTORY:
It all begun in the middle 90s when guitarist Goran Panic formed his band Assignment. Together with his friend Sven Pollkötter on the drums and several different line ups, the band passed the required process for creating an unique style.
The first two demos have been more Death and Thrash Metal orientated but through time more and more Rock , Power & Progressive elements came into the music without really loosing the focus on the roots and the Assignment sound. The arrival of the new vocalist Markus Brand (ex-GB Arts) was a major step into this direction.
The first Assignment CD „Progressive Changes“ (1000 copies) has been recorded in April 2003 and published by our own management (GP Production). The material was mastered by Michael Schwabe in his "Monoposto Studios" Düsseldorf. Schwabe has already mastered giant productions like Scorpions or Paradise Lost.
Only a few months later, Goran signed a distribution deal with the label “Rock Express†from Belgrade, Serbia. Through their network, a new "Progressive changes" edition (with a new Artwork by Juha Vuarma known for his work with In the Woods, Autopsy & Dew Scented) became available almost world wide. Distribution deals were also made with "Secret Port" for Greece and "Musica productions" for Russia, We were amazed by the positive feedback. This gave us an endless motivation and was the best reason to go on for the second record.
Our long time drummer Sven Pollkötter has been replaced by Hendrik Thiesbrummel (Kingdom Come, Avalon) after his decision to join the Alternative Allstars. Hendrik has already played the keyboards on "Progressive changes" and was our first choice drummer. Gert Sprick became the 5th Assignment member and filled the keyboard position permanently.
After a few shows with bands like Povertys No Crime, Everfest or Orden Ogan the concentration was focused on the songwriting for the second album. The new CD “Disunion denied†has been recorded and mixed during the last year at the same studio as our first CD (Claus Grabkes Studio in Gütersloh). The CD has been mastered in May by our friend Stefan Grundmann.
