Even more foretaste

Hi folks!
Here are some news :)

And we had a children's choir in the studio which
sung a chorus.
You can find pictures and short videos on our MySpace

More progress...

Hey folks!

Meanwhile Victor Smolski from RAGE was in our studio and recorded some songs.

After Victor has finished his work, Jen Majura lend her voice for a song.

They spend a whole day in the studio. Thank you both!

In the "studio" section you can find some pictures!

I would also like to refer to some radio plays which were relased in February and March and where we contributed to.

Dreamland Action 2 - Reverend Pain

For this episode we contributed two songs from our first album.

Tony Ballard 7 - Die Rückkehr der Bestie

In this radio play I got a small speaking part, together with Martin Kesici, Hennes Bender and Purple Schulz.

See you next time ,

...


With dismay I received on Thursday the message, that my
dear and long-timed friend "Ralf Schmidt" (Rushme) deceased
on 14th February 2010!
It was like a bolt from the blue and I can't still believe it :(
We've played since the mid-90s in different projects and stayed
in close touch.
There was also a song collaboration planned for my new CD.
He wrote constantly about me in his blog and it's getting me
down that all that things are lost and I won't see him again.

Ralf became only 34 years old and lost his life during a two week struggle against a sudden disease.
There's a song on the new Der Bote album and I would like to dedicate this song to him.
Until the day of his funeral, you'll find that song on MySpace.

I express my condolences to his family!

REST IN PEACE - I won't forget you!

--- January 2010 ---
2010

Hi folks!

I hope you had a Merry Christmas and a successful start into
the new year! The new year will be also the year of Der Bote.
That gives us the reason to present you the new studio material.
Daniel Behrmann recorded rhythm guitar tracks for the new songs.

By the way, here's a short dialogue from the studio:

Frank:
I just want that it sounds authentic!
Otherwise I could sample the guitars though.
And I could spare the trouble with you two morons.

Boris to Daniel:
What does he want from us?

Daniel to Boris:
Dunno...Who is it anyway?

You want some more studio anecdotes?
Let's read Daniel's studio report and enjoy the new photos and videos.

Best wishes ,

Der Bote

New recordings

Hi there!
The guitar recordings with Daniel Behrmann are still work in progress.
We reserved also this weekend to try out several takes, effects and guitar sounds. During December you can find some new photos and videos.

By the way: You can listen to a new demo snippet of the new song "Rosen" (Roses) on MySpace.

--- Oktober 2009 ---
Der Bote speaks...

Hi folks!

As many of you know, I'm a huge fan of radio plays.
Since several years I've got a good contact to the radio play label "Dreamland".
After some small guest parts with my voice, Frank and I also composed a title theme for a new series. The new project is labeled as: Dreamland - Action 1. The new series will bear the name "Agent Smith" and is based on the popular series from the 80s.

On November 6th the new episodes will be released and I'm very proud to be involved in this project with music and speech.

During January 2010 there will be another series, where songs from our album "Kalt!" will be present. The series will bear the name: Dreamland - Action 2 - Zeit der Finsternis (Era Of Darkness) / Reverend Pain. In the following year there's another series, where I also lend my voice.

 

At this point I really would like to thank Thomas Birker and his staff!

Talk to you soon,

DER BOTE

Drum recordings finished!

Hi folks!

Finally I got some time to report something about the recordings with Ralf Gustke.

The recordings took place on Wednesday the 9th September 2009 around 1 pm.
First we installed all the equipment and made a soundcheck - after that we were ready to start...

The first day ended around 10:30 pm and we finished 5 songs.
On Thursday we started at 11:00 am - we had a very strict time schedule.
Ralf recorded 6 more songs and around 9 pm we already enjoyed our leisure-time with a dinner :)

On Friday there was only one last song to record.
We finished everything around 2 pm.
After this Ralf and I drove on to Lauenbrück, where we took
photos for the new CD booklet.

Now it's time to say a big "THANK YOU!" to Ralf Gustke who recorded
really awesome drum tracks!!!
I'm looking forward to the final cut and the first audio snippets.

Another big "thank you" to Uwe Wendt, who was responsible for mixer assistance and also
helped out Frank with his work.

You can find in the category "studio" several pictures and a short AVI from the recordings.

Have fun and see you next time

Today we had a meeting with Daniel Behrmann who's gonna record all rhythm guitar parts for the new CD.
We clarified the last open questions regarding the new songs and we also discussed the last date agreements.

We expect the guitar sessions around November 20th.
As soon we have some video material you can watch it here.

But first we focus on the upcoming week and Ralf Gustle's drum recordings.

So long!

We also clarified the last details with Ralf Gustke via telephon call.

Der Bote and Ben Stiller?
Hi there!
Here's another sign of life from us...

Frank and I are still in the middle of the preproduction and
we're recording the last demos. Our progress is dragging on
because between our meetings are sometimes two months.
It's not clear in the moment if all existent songs will get on the new CD.

In the moment we finsihed 6 complete songs + intro and outro as demo.
4 songs are still left and are ready to get vocal recordings.
In the end we will decide which songs will get on the new CD.

Our present scheduling indicates that we will do the final album recordings during fall/winter 2009.

Recently I fulfilled another big dream of mine!


Der Bote und Oliver Rohrbeck
One of our songs is about a   stalker.
We needed a newscaster who's reading a text for this song.
I already had an idea who should do this from the get-go.

And yesterday the dream became true!

One of the best and most popular German dubbing artists has done this task!

His name is "Oliver Rohrbeck" - and all who are not into radio plays should know him as the German
voice of "Ben Stiller" and many other movies.

I really would like to thank Oliver and in the first instance my friend Thomas Birker!!!

We will announce here new informations as soon as possible.

Till next time

DER BOTE

Hi folks!
As you already noticed we work intensively on our new CD. In the moment I am busy to record vocals for the demos.
The new CD will be probably bear the name "Morgenwelt"!
As soon as all demos are recorded, we will start the production. Needless to say that Frank will play bass on all songs.
My friend "Phil Kamp" from Münster will contribute the keyboard parts for one song. The rhythm guitar will be played by Daniel Behrmann from "Feuerengel". For the lead guitar we got Victor Smolski back on board.
For the drums we are still in negotiation with somebody :)
You can find on our MYSPACE site an audio snippet from the new song "Morgenwelt" - as a small foretaste....

Hi folks!
Long time no see - but that doesn't mean we were deedless...
From time to time Frank and I meet up to record new demos. We established a small homestudio at Frank's house to record our demos unhurriedly.
Unfortunately, we can't tell you right now, when we are going to the studio to record a new CD.
But it's for sure that the new album will have 11 tracks. We can't tell for 100% sure which guest musicians we got for the new recordings, but it's virtually official :)
You can find the song "...und es regnet" as a live video, which I performed with my band "Feuerengel" on 22nd December 2009 in Schwerin on our Myspace site.

Till next time,

Hello to everybody out there....

It took a little while, but now the time has come.
We have released our album "Kalt!" through the German record label Merlin-Sound-Products. Frank and I would like to take this opportunity and thank Thomas Styhn for having made this release possible.

In the last two years some of you have bought the album from Russia. So now you might think: "Don’t need it." Well, wrong, I’m afraid.
Not only have we altered the booklet, there is also a bonus cover version. It is "Phönix" by  "Unheilig".

I have met "Der Graf" of "Unheilig" this year at the Wacken Open Air and we have talked about "DER BOTE" for a long time. As I have always liked this song a lot, I have asked him, whether we could add it to our new version of „Kalt!“ The "Unheilig" management immediately agreed. A big thank you to Markus Tombült for that !

During the recording of this song two musicians of FEUERENGEL helped me in the studio. Christoph Rosenplänter (drums) and Florian Arp (guitar) have recorded the tracks.

The new version is now available at: www.pool-music.com

Best wishes

DER BOTE

Hi!

Frank Itt and me have been working in the studio again. Last year a guy from Hamburg called us. He had a strange idea. He plans to release a sampler with old german church songs that are not sung anymore. He was searching für bands that were willing to contribute a song. To us it seemed interesting and we asked for a song. In the end we recorded the old church song „Es ist ein Schnitter heißt der Tod“.
Frank Itt played guitars, keyboards and of course bass guitar. On drums we proudly present Boris Delic :).

You can find the song here. We will keep you informed about the release date for the sampler.

See ya.

DER BOTE




--- August 2006 ---

Hello...

You did not hear anything of me since November 2005. In the meantime many private things happened, which prevented me from taking care of DER BOTE. Frank and me startet to write new songs last year. Five playbacks are complete now.

On the 5th of September, we will take a break in order to record some drum tracks with Jörg Michael from STRATOVARIUS for a cover song. Unfortunately, I can’t say anything about this project until it is 100 % proof.

When we can say more, we will do that immediately.
We will keep you informed about the recordings with pictures and avi-clips on this site.

So, stay tuned!
See ya!

DER BOTE
