Bio:
Some bands are formed together through newspaper ads, others are the net result of a prolonged booze session at the local pub, yet the DEAD END HEROES were formed by accident. A good accident!Whilst the initial discussions began around a solo album of Swiss drummer Daniel Voegeli (ME & THE REST), the project grew arms and legs and developed into an immense passion - a completely fully operational band that excelled at having fun sharing their common love of Hard Rock.After Voegeli had assembled his collection of instrumental songs he contacted exceptional Guitarist and Producer Rolf Munkes (EMPIRE, TONY MARTIN, MAJESTY) to oversee the discs production. However, Munkes was so impressed by Voegeli's drumming and initial song ideas that he encouraged him to develop a fully functioning band around the tunes and work towards completing an album.The first port of call was German vocalist and session musician Carsten Lizard Schulz (EVIDENCE ONE, DOMAIN, LAVALLE) who took Voegeli's instrumentals under his wing and gave them new life. Through his engaging lyrics and ear candy hooks they developed into real songs with Schulz's trademark stamp alongside Voegeli's bedrock base.On Schulz's recommendation, the next member to join the fold was Scottish bassist Paul Logue (EDEN'S CURSE, DOOGIE WHITE, DAVID READMAN, LAVALLE), who had worked with him on several productions. Logue at first was hesitant to belong to any group outwith his main band but succumbed after completing the recording sessions at his studio in Scotland, such was the strength of the material.Last but by no means least, to add the missing Classic Rock ingredient to the recipe was Schulz's long-time friend and world-class Hammond Organist Holger Seeger (MIDNITE CLUB, IAIN ASHLEY HERSEY). His Hammond gave the songs the final flavour they were missing whilst a classy seventies touch and vibe.All five members were without doubt absolutely certain that this had become more than just a studio project and the DEAD END HEROES were born.Sitting musically somewhere between late seventies and early eighties hard rock with a hint of DEEP PURPLE, a pinch of KROKUS and an extra serving of classic MICHAEL SCHENKER, their addictive cocktail is simply good time old-fashioned Hard Rock that packs a punch.
Album:
Twelve years after their uncompromising debut album “Roadkill” (2014, Metal Heaven), DEAD END HEROES are finally back - louder, dirtier, and hungrier than ever!The band combines the raw spirit of a classic Hard Rock attitude with heavy, early 80s riffing, anthemic choruses, and a massive dose of pure Rock ’n’ Roll energy. After years of working with other acts and their respectable main bands, and a long creative hiatus, many believed the band had disappeared for good with just one album, but the DEAD END HEROES still had unfinished business.Most importantly, the complete original line-up from the acclaimed 2014 debut “Roadkill” has reunited once again for the new album. The album delivers uncompromising early 80s Power packed with powerful grooves, massive guitar work, and Classic Rock anthems. The album was once again produced by Rolf Munkes with a strong focus on energy, authenticity, and live atmosphere. Fans of Whitesnake, Saxon and MSG can expect an album that takes no prisoners. With “Not Dead Yet”, DEAD END HEROES deliver the soundtrack for everyone who never gave up.Date of release 4 December 2026.
