Abstinenz [Official] AT METALCAMP 09 MAINSTAGE

Deutsche Version:
Abstinenz wurden im Winter 2001 von Runar (Guitar, Vocals) und M. Lautner (Bass) gegründet. Im darauffolgenden Jahr komplettierten T.Wiemann (Guitar, R.I.P ), F.Thoelen (Drums) und Herjan (Vocals) die Band. Als M.Lautner die Band verließ, frischten M.Saitova (Bass, Female Vocals) und R.Veit (Synth) das Bandblut auf. Nach einigen Gigs nahm die Band ihr erstes, drei Lieder enthaltendes, Demo auf, welches auf dem Rammbock Sampler 2002 veröffentlicht wurde. Aufgrund diverser Dispute trennte man sich zunächst von Drummer Thoelen und, nur kurze Zeit später, von Gitarrist Wiemann. Eine längere kreative und menschliche Auszeit nutzend, nahm man 2005 das Anfang 2007 erschienene Album "Altes Blut" mit folgendem line-up auf: Herjan (Vocals), Runar (Guitar, Bass, Synth, Programming, Backing Vocals), & M.Saitova (Female Vocals). Gegen Ende des Jahres 2007 trat Shaggnar (Guitar) Abstinenz bei. Kurz darauf wurde Havoc als neuer, fester, Basser eingegliedert. Momentan arbeitet die Truppe an ihrem zweiten Werk, welches voraussichtlich im Sommer/Herbst 2009 erscheinen wird!

Norske versjon:
Abstinenz ble grunnlagt vinteren 2001 av Runar (Gitar, Sang) og M. Lautner (Bass). Det neste året ble bandet komplettert av T. Wiemann (Gitar, R.I.P.), F. Thoelen (Trommer) og Herjan (Sang). Da M. Lautner forlot bandet, kom det frisk blod inn igjen ved M. Saitova (Bass, female Vocals) og R. Veit (Synth). Etter noen opptredener tok bandet opp den første demoen som omfattet tre sanger og ble utgitt på Rammbock Sampleren i 2002. Pga. en rekke uoverensstemmelser ble drummer Thoelen løst fra sitt engasjement og kort tid etterpå også gitarist Wiemann. For å utnytte en noe lengre kreativ og menneskelig pause, tok man i 2005 opp albumet "Altes Blut" som ble utgitt i begynnelsen av 2007 og hadde følgende line-up: Herjan (Vocals), Runar (Gitar, Bass, Synth, Programming, Backing Vocals) & M. Saitova (femal Vocals). Ved slutten av året 2007 kom Shaggnar (Gitar) inn i Abstinenz. Kort etter ble Havoc innlemmet som ny fast bassist. For tiden jobber gruppen med sitt verk nummer to som er planlagt ugitt i sommer/høst 2009.
