BLACK THOUGHTS BLEEDING [30.04. Leipzig!]

ESCAPE FROM WITHIN - The tragedy of evolution

About Me


If you don't go forwards you step backwards. So it was quite clear for drummer Ben Overmann (Circle Of Grin, Psycho Luna) and bass player Rainer Classen, that they had to go back on those stages they performed on all over Europe, after their split from Koroded. Straight they joined the two guitar players Dominik Göbbels (New Noise Crisis) and Markus Kleinertz, worked out and recorded the first instrumentals soon after. Coming from the small area around Cologne, they found local singer Dominik Szelinski to fit the spot as a member of the band. Four weeks after their initial rehearsal, they played their first live show.When passion turns to fashion and trendy kids step up to the stage without even being able to play two riffs in a row, BLACK THOUGHTS BLEEDING are happy to not join into these fashion shows. They do not calculate which part of any “Core” fits into the songs or whether there are enough brutal breakdowns. Instead they focus on doing what they think is right. They just mix their influences of 80’s and 90’s metal, hardcore and modern metal.With tremendous energy and persistence they are writing more songs and working on playing live to show that honest passion survives any category and any hype.
Stillstand ist der Tod und so war es auch sehr schnell klar, dass Drummer Ben Overmann (Circle Of Grin, Psycho Luna) und Bassist Rainer Classen nach der Trennung von Koroded schleunigst wieder auf die Bühnen müssen, die sie zuvor in unzähligen Shows in ganz Europa bestiegen hatten. Unmittelbar fand man sich mit den Gitarristen Dominik Göbbels (New Noise Crisis) und Markus Kleinertz zusammen, komponierte eifrig und hielt erste Ideen instrumental fest. In einer überschaubaren Szene wie der rund um Köln fand sich auch schnell der zuvor in lokalen Bands tätige Dominik Szelinski als Sänger der Band, die bereits vier Wochen später ihr Livedebüt ablieferte.Wenn Passion allzu oft zu Fashion wird und trendy Kiddies in Jogginghose und Bandana die Bühne betreten, ohne zwei Riffs gerade hintereinander setzen zu können, sind BLACK THOUGHTS BLEEDING stolz, sich dieser Modenschau nicht anzuschliessen. Hier wird nicht kalkuliert, welcher „Core“ an welche Stelle gebaut werden muss und ob denn die Anzahl der manierlichen Breakdowns stimmt. Stattdessen machen die Fünf das, was sie für richtig halten und mischen ihre Einflüsse aus Metal der 80’er und 90’er Jahre, Hardcore und modernen Spielweisen.Mit Hochdruck und Ausdauer arbeitet das Quintett aus NRW jetzt an weiteren Aufnahmen und Shows, um schon sehr bald zeigen zu können, dass ehrliche Musikliebe jede Schublade und jeden Hype überlebt.
