Now it's official: DUST BOLT, Germany's metal band of the young generation, is launching a new album, which will be released on AFM Records in 2024. The four guys, who have been an integral part of the band since their early youth, want to take off for good and prove to the world that nothing can stop the energy of a true rock 'n' roll band.
"Breaking clichés and keeping traditions" is the motto DUST BOLT have written on their banner. "Our mission is to catapult metal into a new age and make it a powerful mouthpiece for the youth again," says the unanimous tenor of the Landsberg band. "The modern vision of rock 'n' roll must be redefined. After all, it's 2023! No Ozzy Osbournes and other veterans of the boomer generation speak from the kids' souls. They need music that reflects their contemporary emotions. Anger at politics and society, disorientation, everyday worries and fears about the future make the world an uncertain place. We need an outlet for this - and something that gives us courage again. No other music genre can convey this as authentically as metal," says frontman Lenny Bruce Jr. and adds: "We want to turn metal into something incredibly energetic in community with the fans!"
The boys know what they're talking about, after all, they founded DUST BOLT as a school band when they were teenagers and have been going through thick and thin ever since. "We know what it means to stick together as best friends and get through all the stages of growing up together." And that's not all: they have also learned how to deal with responsibility and success while remaining absolutely down to earth. Just a few years after the band was founded, they won the Wacken Metal Battle Germany (not even of age yet!). This was followed by a record deal plus a successful world tour including the USA and Asia. Whether with their own van, train or tour bus - it doesn't matter! The main thing is the instruments and the unshakeable attitude "DO IT YOUR FUCKIN SELF" in their hand luggage. No, success really hasn't gone to their heads. If anything, it has spurred them on to step on the gas even more and finally usher in a new era of hard rock music. THE TIME IS NOW!
