Biography

Spellbound was founded in 1999 and they are resident in Überlingen which is directly at the lake of constance. The current line up is Dave Maier (guitar,lead vocals), Daniel Tschoepe (guitar, backing vocals), Andy Flache (drums) and Hannes Jäger (bass, backing vocals).
The concept of the musicians is based on combining old school 80ies Thrash Metal with modern elements without sounding antiquated or sterile.
During the development in the last years, the band came bound to theirs aim closer and closer after having recorded the two demo-cd´s "First Contact" and "Extensions". They intensely worked in new material to record their first studio album "Incoming Destiny" in November 2004.
The choice fell on the well known "Stage-One-Studio" to realise together with producer Andy Classen the idea, to record an aggressive Thrash-Metal album which connects old vibes as well as fresh and modern elements. There has come out a magnificent, absolute contemporary metal album with a high technical and compositional standard, which should not be kept away from the Metal fans!

After having played live at some festivals and the "W:O:A Roadshow-Tour 2006", the band had to deal with several line-up changes.
Spellbound entered the "Stage-One-Studio" again in November 2006 to record the "Incoming Destiny" successor "Nemesis 2665" together with Andy Classen.The result is an outstanding evolution of the typical "spellboundsound" which should help the band catapult them to the top of the german underground!Beside the musical adjustment, the textual contents are another important component to the band. Thus textwriter David argues with theories of confidential knowledge and conspiracy theories. But different to most of the other bands, which deal with this "topical" themes, David is not looking for culprits but lights up rather the consequences in the form of interpretations beyond the human imagination.
