Major homepage update!

Geez, that really was a lot of effort. I reworked the homepage again, added a link to this blog (people didn't find it ) and completely remade the media section.

Since I didn't want to put the information on the news site, I decided to put the change log here:

  • Added the songs 'Winter Journey' and 'Preludio Grottesco'
  • Added the MIDI files 'Aglara Garden' and 'Parasite Battle'
  • Removed 'Kanon' and 'A Life's Forsaken' (I don't think these are representative anymore)
  • Completely reworked the media section:
    • Added some nifty CD graphics for each song (Yes, I stole the idea from Newgrounds).
    • Rearranged the song order, so that it's no longer alphabetical, but best songs first.
    • Underlined the song titles (What an amazing, ground-breaking change!)
  • Added one of the Tankmen to the main page, who links to my Newgrounds profile.
  • Added three photographs to the biography section (Yay!)
Stay tuned.

De-Virginator Music Video!

The Love Dictators did it again! Not only did they play an enormously great gig at the completely filled (ehem...) Cobra in Solingen, they also released their very first music video!

It features various live scenes of the song 'De-Virginator'!



For more information go to their official homepage.

Backseat Education disbanded

Though this might be a surprise for some of you, the first signs of the split-up could be seen long ago. It's not a hasty decision and it's not something that will get revised in a few weeks. For at least four of the five band members, the decision is final - there will be no Backseat Education with this line-up again.
And sadly, it doesn't have anything to do with musical differences and is anything but a peaceful separation. I won't be going into details, since I still respect the other band members' privacy. All I want to say at this point is that we all have absolutely no intention to work in this line-up again.

For those of you just who asked themselves: "Huh? Backseat Education? What in the name of God is that?". Backseat Education was a five-piece hard rock combo from Solingen, for which I was the singer. Judging from the local press, we were pretty promising to say the least. It's sad to see such a chance pass by, since the band made me live through an asset of very different emotions and I was able to gather a lot of experience through it. Still, you have to look ahead.

I haven't quite decided what to do yet, other than focussing a bit more on Bad Sunday. Perhaps I will start another project, perhaps I will join an existing band, but first of all, I'll concentrate on my graduation, which is due in June 2008.

I wish all of the guys good luck in their future projects - and I hope I will meet them again. Who knows? It might as well be on stage some day.
