History
it all began in the early 90..s. i started playing with my sister..s old guitar. it was just a shabby piece of wood with six 1000 years old nylon strings, but nevertheless i liked it to make some noise with it...half a year later i joined a music school to learn how to play it in a right way.. then, after I got hammered some scales and chords into my head i started playing in bands, to try out if it works what i..ve learned. i think it was 1995 as i got some support from my music teacher in school, then we founded the first band. he had some live experience and helped us to get on stage soon. since that time i needed to smell stage air...and i toured nearly through all clubs in middle and south germany. i tryed out some bands and played a lot of styles, from pop-rock till death metal! in november 2005 me and armin donderer(bass) joined chris bay and daniel zimmermann of "FREEDOM CALL". soon we had a european-tour and played some festivals with the band. at the end of 2006 we started to record a new album, named "DIMENSIONS". It..s in stores since april the 20th. During the time I played and toured, music got my profession and i know, that the only reason i..m on earth is to play my motherf…… guitar, damn loud!!! Through the years I met and played with some interesting people…Victor Smolski, Sascha Gerstner, Tommy Newton, Hermann Li, Sam Totman, Steve Morse …and so on. It..s always cool to hear these guys play, cause it makes you go forward, if you always keep eyes and ears open! it..s important to move on, if you stop you..re maybe dead!

If you ask Freedom Call fans about the outstanding characteristics of their favourite band, they tend to list two main qualities: melodic and up-tempo. Both attributes will come to bear again on April 23, 2007 (Germany: April 20), when vocalist/guitarist Chris Bay, drummer Daniel Zimmermann and the two new additions, Lars Rettkowitz (guitar) and Armin Donderer (bass), release their current album, Dimensions, proving emphatically that Freedom Call are still among the most passionate and dynamic German metal acts.
Stylistically, Dimensions is a successful liaison of the group’s basic strengths and new, contemporary influences. Or, as Daniel Zimmermann puts it: “Even if the two predecessors, Eternity und The Circle Of Life, took very different directions, both albums had a number of strong moments. Dimensions combines the most successful elements from both albums, in other words: we included our penchant for fast and very melodic numbers from Eternity with the more contemporary, bombastic components of The Circle Of Life.†The album reveals that Freedom Call have found two talented songwriters in Lars Rettkowitz and Armin Donderer: four of the eleven tracks on Dimensions were penned by them, the other seven were written and composed, as usual, by Chris Bay and Daniel Zimmermann.
The eleven new numbers (plus intro) were recorded at the FC studios in Nuremberg, while the drum parts were cut at the Area 51 in Celle by Daniel Zimmermann with the support of Tommy Newton (Helloween, Kamelot, Victory), who also mixed and mastered Dimensions. The cover artwork was designed by Paul Raymond Gregory (Saxon, Molly Hatchet, Blind Guardian) and suits the thread of the lyrics to a T. The album raises the question where the climatic disaster will lead, what the fate of the human race will be, and whether our future may be not on earth but far away on another planet of the universe. Could a subject be more topical?
Freedom Call are scheduled to play four shows with Dragonforce around the album’s release date, followed by various summer festivals and an extensive European tour in Autumn.
