BIONIC ANGEL´s guitar player Nik recently returned to the BACKYARD STUDIOS to create profiles of some of the most famous guitar amps for his KEMPER amp. Making excessive use of the BACKYARD STUDIOS´ guitar-typical microphones - and preamp-collection, Nik´s favorite sounds were captured digitally through a high-end recording chain and tweaked to be used with his KEMPER profiling amp.
The german thrash metal legend KREATOR recently headlined the Mennecy Metal Festival close to Paris in France. Sebastian "Basi" Roeder travelled there with the band as their FOH-soundengineer and tourmanager.
Last week Sebastian "Basi" Roeder had the great pleasure to do the live sound for two heroes of his youth - BONFIRE and PINK CREAM 69 - on their show at Nuremberg´s Rockfabrik.
After last year´s long european tour the italian / french / finish / german bombast-metal band RHAPSODY recently went out for another short trip.
4 shows within a week´s time - spread over half the globe - seemed to be the goal of the band around mastermind LUCA TURILLI.
After 2 warm up shows in Pratteln / Switzerland and Nuernberg / Germany RHAPSODY flew off to headline the opening night at the legendary Progpower Festival in Atlanta / USA and travelled on right afterwards to play one more show in Mexico City.
As usual Sebastian "Basi" Roeder had the pleasure to work as FOH-soundengineer and tour manager for RHAPSODY on this short trip.

The italian / american / german filmscore-metal band RHAPSODY OF FIRE just released their new double live album " Live-From Chaos to Eternity" on AFM records. The album was recorded using the Backyard Studios´ mobile rig by Sebastian "Basi" Roeder during the band´s european tour in 2012 on which Basi also was in duty as their FOH engineer.
Editing and mix took place in january and february 2013 - again by Basi - this time home in the Backyard Studios in Kempten. The album is available as double CD and triple vinyl, was released worldwide on may 3rd (USA may 7th) and already received numerous positive reviews all over the world.
And once again Sebastian "Basi" Roeder shortly had to interrupt his current obligations as the FOH sound engineer of MICHAEL SCHENKERS 2-month european tour in order to join the 1st issue of the Full Metal Cruise as the tourmanager and FOH-engineer for KREATOR.
Full Metal Cruise is a swimming heavy metal festival aboard a huge cruise ship promoted by the organizers of the legendary Wacken Open Air together with the travel company TUI.
From Le Havre in france to Amsterdam in the netherlands back to the ships´ starting point in Hamburg / germany KREATOR spent 6 days on the road and water and played two shows aboard the ship.
