Segard - The new star in the German rock sky

When one thinks of German-language rock bands that could gain a foothold internationally or even play on an international level, a fall probably immediately the guys from Rammstein one. In the big, wide world of the tough music business, it is just not easy, especially for artists / bands that are not accidentally discovered by other high-level artists and producers, let alone participated in one of the many idiotic Castingshows to put an exclamation point and a to get hold of a record deal. With Segard now comes a band from Franconia, which shows that the love for music and years of hard work can make even paid at the end. The quartet consists of vocalist Rob, drummer Sven, bassist and guitarist Andi Fabian (Ian). All four give itself over the years of their greatest passion of time ... the music. After experimenting in various bands, the band slowly came gradually in late 2007 / early 2008 and began together with the first recordings, which still took place initially in English, but then also have been transferred to the native German because of its identity. So then everything came in rapid succession and at some point was also the label head of the Nuremberg record label Recent Records on the mat and took the boys under contract. After personally been through the homepage, the Promo concerts or with the boys was able to secure a copy of their eponymous debut album "Segard" (the name comes from the way the Nibelungen saga) in advance, this is now also since 23:03. 2012 possible during record dealer of trust.

The album includes a tracklist consisting of 11 songs, which occupy a total playing time of good 45 minutes. The cover artwork is drawn very professionally and in the booklet, there is besides the lyrics are some pictures of Junngs to see - total is the disk as nice digipack therefore. Each of even a spark of good coffee mashine, fondue rock music has left, is probably like about this great and varied album found. The opener makes the single "Space out wind" that both impresses with its powerful drums and wild guitar riffs, but is nevertheless quite radio friendly. Singer Rob shows from the outset what quality lies in his voice and the excerpt "where we are headed, from now on the same with a tailwind, are you ready now what is the same ..." you may well also on the further journey through the album take advantage of. It continues with "What do you see", which here again is a shovel upped the ante on the hardness and the brutal guitars over Bingen the right feeling. Another single from the album, the wonderful ballad "moment" is, which receives lots of harmony, melody and a perfect hook Rob. Similar to "What you see" is also the next track "Tell me" in the full, in particular the intro is full of power and pace, while the complete instrumental works rather smoothly in the individual verses - definitely a perfect vice setter contrast. "Eternity" is again more in the direction ballads, scores with its accompanying melodies and shapes itself immediately in our hearing. Rob runs here on the chorus to top form and sings literally the soul from the body. Produces goosebumps "Not Forever" from the opening bars of a stunningly moving song in conjunction with a sensitive text. With a lot of speed and a lot of clout the small smoothe interphase Album screwed "Where" back into the air and even with "voice of your heart" Segard does not mince his mouth and cut right to the timpani. Whoever thought the quartet is already at the end is completely wrong, because with "Without You", a track about love and pain, which is also further refined through several strings conjures the band another highlight of the album. For a lot of "headbanging" makes it again the rough "to the end", then while the end of the long player is a little stroke of genius. "On Travel" is an acoustic track traumhaftiger which immediately draws the listener into his spell and the disc brings leisurely on the season end. In particular, one can be fascinated to the fullest of Rob's super voice.

Often one has to longplayers the problem that this either Unfold only after repeated listening or act immediately like a stab in the heart, but what the four guys from Segard have delivered here is already such a force to be described with words barely , Technically sound, the band moved somewhere between bands like Creed phenomenal / Alter Bridge, 3 Doors Down and Shinedown and they play their album with a sovereignty as if they were in business for ages. Hocklassige productions, playing first class, terrific German lyrics about life, love, pain, loss, etc ... these are SEGARD.
