The band whose name is the Portuguese word for “Grave” came to life in 1984, releasing their first EP ‘Bestial Devastation’ the next year and the album ‘Morbid Visions’ another year later. Afterwards, the former guitarist left the band and was replaced by Andreas Kisser who’s still holding that position. The band's second studio album, ‘Schizophrenia’, was released in 1987. It saw a stylistic change towards a more thrash metal-oriented sound, while still keeping the death metal elements of ‘Morbid Visions’ and became a success among critics. By 1991 and the release of their fourth album ‘Arise’, they’d become one of the most acclaimed bands of their genre.

When the project UNHEILIG started over 10 years ago, no one would've guessed in which way it would be turning out in the end. One of the first rack to appear 'Sage Ja' already caused a stir within the dark music scene and following albums such as 'Phosphor', 'Das 2.Gebot' or 'Zelluloid' would make sure the popularity of the project around the mastermind and main protagonist Der Graf was bursting into popularity. The number of fans he won over became endless, just like the queues at one of the famous autograph sessions at festivals. Meanwhile, UNHEILIG has released the newest album 'Große Freiheit' which is surely becoming even more of a success than the last one with the preceding single 'Geboren um zu Leben' entering the German charts at a high position.

It all started out in the early 1990s, a time when Techno was on a peak of popularity. They came from out of nowhere with a track called 'Hyper Hyper' and had an incredible success with it and the following debut album '…and the beat goes on'. With every new track that would be crafted in the sonic factory of SCOOTER, the trio would be gaining more, even international recognition. Nowadays SCOOTER is deemed a phenomenon as a band out of the Techno genre that is still alive and kicking long after the wave has subsided, not to a little part owed to the fact they're continuously weaving different elements in their sound. In the live circuit they're known for being even more of a sensation with a spectacular lightshow and the inflammation of the audience with the never-ceasing fire of passion dwelling within their souls.

They've used the so called "Christmas Break" for creating the second album 'Der Film', released in June 2009 which has been composed as an aural thriller of the finest kind for your listening pleasure.
