Grobschnitt Grobschnitt

West German rock band Grobschnitt will see a very limited 17CD super deluxe box set of all 14 of their albums released later this month that comes with almost seven hours of bonus material. The box set is titled 79:10 and covers the entire output of the band from 1972 to 1989. Everything has been newly remastered and in total there is over 22 hours of material for fans to enjoy. The reason for ’79:10′ is that each of the 17 CDs has 79 minutes and 10 secs of audio, so they are packed with content!…

Essential: a masterpiece of progressive rock music.
Right from the first Teutonic Wagner-like singing until the end of the album (excluding the Live bonus track), you know you will be in for quite a ride. These guys were extra crazy/special and developed in the late 70's a extensive live show that is one of my great regrets never to have seen.

Interest in Grobschnitt led to a partial band reunion from May 2007 with Wildschwein, Milla Kapolke and Toni Moff Mollo. The band performs faithful versions of the classic material - in other words this sounds just like you remember Grobschnitt. This live show was recorded in Bonn and Menden Germany in May 2008. The material concentrates on the post-Eroc period but is highlighted by a scorching 43 minute version of Sonnentanz, which was in reality a musical sequel to Solar Music Live.

Grobschnitt is a phenomenon. Founded in 1970, the German Progressive band 2010 celebrated its 40th anniversary. Now, they are back with the live recording of the concept album "Rockpommel's Land" (1977) and enthusiastic as ever. If there is a Rockalbum that their listeners really put into the realm of fairy tales, it is "Rockpommel's Land" by the German rock legend Grobschnitt.

Essential: a masterpiece of progressive rock music.
Grobschnitt have always been a dificult band to classify because they have always been, at least until Rockpommel's Land, a borderline symphonic / space rock band. However, in Rockpommel's Land the band incorporated many symphonic prog influences, mainly from Yes, in their music, resulting in a full symphonic masterpiece.

1972 debut album by legendary German prog band. This is the 2017 black/white 180 gram vinyl 2 LP set that is remastered and includes 3 bonus tracks, booklet, insert and download card.

This classic debut album from one of the most eclectic German bands to emerge from the seventies is an essential for anyone interested in exploring the developments which were taking place in rock music in continental Europe in the early 1970's. Highly recommended!

Formed in 1970, Grobschnitt was one of the best German band from the mid-Seventies. All of the members of the band adopted pseudonyms, namely "Eroc", "Mist", "Wildschwein", "Lupo" and "Popo". The band was created by Joachim "Eroc" Ehrig (drums, percussion), Stefan "Wildschwein" Daneliak (guitars & vocals), and Gerd-Otto "Lupo" Kühn (guitar, vocals). This nucleus was later completed by Wolgang "Popo" Jäger (bass) and Volker "Mist" Kahrs (keyboards, Mellotron, synthesizers)…

Alternately psychedelic, progressive, and hard rock-styled, the eclectic German band Grobschnitt became one of the most popular live acts in German history. The group recorded several lauded albums in the 1970s, moving between styles before switching to more mainstream pop and rock in the 1980s. Meanwhile, in part thanks to drummer Joachim Ehrig, the group added touches of absurdist humor to their records and live shows…
