After their main band The Prosecution announced their hiatus, my friends Simon & Dennis started their side-project Landslide Diary - today their debut album "In Presence Of Pages" is released!
I was in charge of producing and I know that countless hours were put into this LP - songwriting sessions, pre-production, recording drums (Moe Damjantschitsch from Corinore) at Studio Suiseidl, recording bass (Alexander Schott from AntiPeeWee) and guitars at their home studios, kempering guitars, recording vocals, mixing and mastering here @Slash Zero Studio, finding the right label (Fond Of Life Records), filming 3 awesome music videos (Tom Eberl), photographic documentation (NorthBear), conception and realization of the linocut artwork (Ronja Bernhardt), approving test pressings, waiting for the final pressing while making up a promotion plan and marketing strategy, crafting of the limited tapes (Halli Doe), pre-order kick-off (100 limited edition copies sold out in 2 days!), and finally the long-awaited release!!! Only the tour is kinda missing due to obvious reasons...
Do I still have to tell you that if you haven't ordered your copy by now, you'll have to act quickly?! Now go stream the album, for those 2 years full of hard work are worth 40min of your precious time, right?

As I said earlier this year, 2020's gonna be a 'singles' year' - today I surprisingly noticed that Paul McIntyre released his single "Coming Over" (which I had the honor to master and play bass on)... Check it out!

If you're into Post-Rock stuff like Mogwai, you should definitely check out Possumwulf's debut EP "Don't Think Twice, It's All Blight" (which I mastered recently) and give it a stream or two...

After lots of uncertainties and troubles (like almost every GumoManiacs album?), it is finally released: "Morbid Tales Of Terror" - produced here @Slash Zero Studio over the last 2 years. As always, it's Air & Hubi on Drums 'N' Bass and Gumo on Vocal & Guitar duties... More than worth a mention is the magnificent artwork of the great Andreas Marschall (who's famous for his work with Sodom, Kreator, or Blind Guardian, among loads of others). Get your CD copy now, as we don't know if there's a vinyl version in the nearest future...

My friends from Landslide Diary released "Not A Single Second" (their 3rd video directed by Eberl) off their upcoming album "In Presence Of Pages" (produced here @Slash Zero Studio)... In the video there's some old skate footage of Simon that I shot about 15 years ago ;)

Another interesting project I recently worked on: Upiór - and their new single is more than just "Reality 2020"... Give it a listen if you're into old school Death Metal... Here's the cast:
Tomasz Jaskula - guitars, music
Chris Bone - vocals, lyrics
Sebastian Stachowiak - keyboards
Hubi Hofmann - bass, mix/mastering
David Superior - drums

Finally "Songbook" by my Ohrange bros is released! We produced that beauty right before the big Corona bang in February @Slash Zero Studio. Unfortunately they cannot play a lot of shows this year, so please support them by purchasing their 180g limited purple vinyl as it is their 1st time on wax. After that go give 'em a stream while waiting for personal delivery!

Here's another single that I mastered recently: "Last Chopper Out Of Saline County" - it's by the talented Possumwulf from Little Rock, Arkansas - so if you're into Post-Rock stuff like Mogwai mixed with At The Drive-In influences, then give this one a listen!

Landslide Diary release their 2nd video (directed by Tom '3 Voddi' Eberl) to their latest chart-smashing uber-single "Panic" (from their upcoming album "In Presence Of Pages" - which you can pre-order NOW at Fond Of Life Records and which was produced here @Slash Zero Studio). So quickly get your limited purple vinyl and then binge-watch/stream the song!

My friends Simon & Dennis from The Prosecution started their own Punk band called Landslide Diary... They're online NOW, so give them a digital hug and watch the video (again filmed by the amazing Tom Eberl) to their debut single "Raging Waves" (produced @Slash Zero Studio). You'll also see some well known faces from AntiPeeWee and Corinore :)

My friend Andy Kneitinger from Illegal I releases his new single "Back To The Ocean" today - check out the video and stream the hell out of it!


In addition to that the fabulous Lady Jay chose me to mix/master her latest single "Fire" - stream it here if you're into Afrobeat / R&B!

Because of the current situation my Ohrange bros can't play their regular 100 shows a year, so they decided to release 100 videos instead. Here's #42 for this year: "Streichholz" (from their album "Songbook", produced @Slash Zero Studio) - again filmed by the fabulous Tom Eberl, and if you look closely, you can catch a glimpse of Slash Zero Studio in the video [unfortunately one of my monitors crashed during the filming...]

Being not only a record producer, but also a freelancer offering mixing and mastering services, the 'single hype' finally also arrived at Slash Zero Records...

I was recently given the honor to mix and master "Afraid Of The Dark" by GodSpeed2 and Frank Bell. You better check it out on Spotify, YouTube, or your streaming service of choice, as there probably won't be a physical copy... (of course I've also contributed some instruments and vocals to the song, as on most productions - sometimes credited, sometimes not...)

bloodshed revolution is the name of the game
a path that's older than its breath
this world's out of disorder but the rules they stay the same
so join our legions of death

With those kind words about today's situation GumoManiacs release their new video "Legions Of Death" (filmed/cut by Hubi Hofmann, with a little help from Tom Eberl) from their upcoming album "Morbid Tales Of Terror" (which was, you guessed it, produced here @Slash Zero Studio). Watch the video, stream the Spotify, and then tell your friends...

Illegal I made their statement against racism, discrimination, hate, and violence - here's our "Voice Of Resistance" (directed by Thomas Eberl and produced/mixed/mastered @Slash Zero Studio). Watch the video and stream on Spotify to spread the word!

The Boys Of Summer (formerly known as Filistine) shot a summerly video (filmed by Blue Oak) to their song "Summer" (from the latest album "Loƒe", which was produced here @Slash Zero Studio) - go check it out and get yourself some ice cream!

Can you imagine that one day your government decides that the music you love is illegal and therefore you'd have to go to prison and because of that they even shut down your business, arrest your employees, and people around you villainize you and your family, so the only option you have left is to leave everything behind and walk away?

Well, that ain't no made-up story - it really happened to the legendary Iranian rapper Dariush Ravi... But he decided to fight this injustice, move to Germany, record 5 songs here @Slash Zero Studio, and now he's released his first official 'legal' EP called "Kuch" (Farsi for 'migratory bird').

Please take a listen on Spotify and support him on Bandcamp (you can donate anything and get the EP in highest audio quality). One thing's for sure: even if you don't understand Farsi, you can tell he's a damn talented rapper. Spread the word so that something like this won't ever happen to anyone else again... Peace!

This thing is so damn controversial you either love or hate it: My bros from Ohrange released a music video to "Denk An Mi..." (directed by action-shot.tv) from their last album "L[i]eben" (which was produced here @Slash Zero Studio). And for those of you who haven't been at the Kurve yet, check this out...

Mastering the new "Dubplate Selection Pt III" by Simba Sound was dub - but the 500g dubplate itself is even dubber! Unfortunately you can only listen to these songs if you attend their live events, so please be patient...

I recently mastered "Lower Bavarian Pizza Hits" - that's the new LP by Noah Monoton, Attune, Old Europe, David Schreck, Unifono, Relups, and NLY1P, who gathered under the name of Pan De Dan to support their local (and possibly the best) pizza store. From today on you can grab your limited edition vinyl copy housed in a special pizza box from Pan De Dan's pizza shop in Vilsbiburg EXCLUSIVELY! No need to argue about dinner today!
