│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ It's the 20th band anniversary and the time is ║ │
│║ right to bring ROUGH SILK back to life û how can ║ │
│║ you do this better but with a new album! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Mastermind Ferdy Doernberg (known as a band ║ │
│║ member of AXEL RUDI PELL as well) teamed up with ║ │
│║ AndrΘ Hort (bass), Mike Mandel (guitars) and ║ │
│║ Alex Wenn (drums), who are young and hungry ║ │
│║ musicians from the Hanover-area to bring fresh ║ │
│║ blood and enthusiasm into the band and most ║ │
│║ important to bring back more Metal into ROUGH ║ │
│║ SILK's sound again! So with the anniversary the ║ │
│║ new album will start a new era for the band and ║ │
│║ you can┤t name it better then with the album ║ │
│║ title: A New Beginning! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ROUGH SILK were founded in 1989 and have ║ │
│║ released seven studio and one best of album so ║ │
│║ far in their history. During all these years the ║ │
│║ band has defined their very unique sound which ║ │
│║ is best described by the band name ROUGH SILK: ║ │
│║ "Rough" stands for the real heavy (sometimes ║ │
│║ even Thrash) Metal influences and "Silk" for the ║ │
│║ unusual singer-songwriter elements and piano- ║ │
│║ parts, combining both to their very own brand of ║ │
│║ heavy but yet Melodic Metal. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ROUGH SILK build up a good reputation as a ║ │
│║ live-act by suporting bands like HELLOWEEN , ║ │
│║ DEEP PURPLE, DIO, SAVATAGE, MANOWAR, FATES ║ │
│║ WARNING, ACCEPT, WHITESNAKE, AXXIS, EUROPE, ║ │
│║ SAXON and VICIOUS RUMORS among others. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The founding members were Ferdy Doernberg ║ │
│║ (keyboards, slide-guitars & vocals), Hilmer ║ │
│║ Staake (guitars), Jan Barnett (lead vocals, ║ │
│║ guitars), Ralf Schwertner (bass, vocals) and ║ │
│║ Herbert Hartmann (drums, vocals) but there have ║ │
│║ been some changes that created kind of different ║ │
│║ eras of the bandÆs history. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The first era contained the albums ôRough Silkö ║ │
│║ (Vinyl LP only), ôRoots of Hateö, ôWalls of ║ │
│║ Neverö, ôCircle Of Painö and ôMephistoö followed ║ │
│║ by a first European tour with Savatage. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The second era started with the 5 th album when ║ │
│║ Barnett left the band and was replaced by Thomas ║ │
│║ Ludolphy. In this periode the band recorded the ║ │
│║ albums ôBeyond The Sundownö and ôSymphony of ║ │
│║ Lifeö and supported Savatage in Europe once ║ │
│║ more, on SavatageÆs special wish. During this ║ │
│║ time ROUGH SILK brought out their first best Of ║ │
│║ album ôWheels of Timeö. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ In 2002 Ludolphy left the band due to personal ║ │
│║ reasons and the band decided that they would not ║ │
│║ look for a new singer. On the band┤s 7 th studio ║ │
│║ album "End of Infinity", Doernberg, Hartmann and ║ │
│║ Wunderlich shared the lead-vocals. But ║ │
│║ unfortunatly it became obvious that the band ║ │
│║ members had parted minds and had no common ║ │
│║ vision on this style anymore, so this finally ║ │
│║ led to the end of the era and Rough Silk was put ║ │
│║ on ice. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Doernberg stayed busy playing in the studio and ║ │
│║ on stage with acts like ULI JON ROTH (ex- ║ │
│║ SCORPIONS), HOLY MOSES, DESTRUCTION, GAMMA RAY, ║ │
│║ CHRIS CAFFREY (SAVATAGE), WARREN DE MARTINI ║ │
│║ (RATT), BOBBY RONDINELLI (RAINBOW, BLACK ║ │
│║ SABBATH), ROBBIE KRIEGER (THE DOORS), GRAHAM ║ │
│║ BONNETT (RAINBOW), DON DOKKEN (DOKKEN) , ROY Z, ║ │
│║ POWERGOD, TONY FRANKLIN (BLUE MURDER / ║ │
│║ WHITESNAKE), CHRIS POLAND (MEGADETH), JEFF SCOTT ║ │
│║ SOTO, DAVID PAICH (TOTO), BRAINSTORM and many ║ │
│║ more as well as he toured and recorded again ║ │
│║ with AXEL RUDI PELL. Even though he performed ║ │
│║ his own music doing many solo-shows something ║ │
│║ was missing. So he started looking for young and ║ │
│║ hungry musicians to form a new Metal band. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ And as you already read he found the fitting ║ │
│║ band members and due to the 20 th band ║ │
│║ anniversary now the 3 rd era starts û with ôA ║ │
│║ New Beginningö! Be sure it will sound heavier ║ │
│║ than ever! ║ │
