Eyesberg

Eyesberg were found in Frankfurt circa 1980 by a team of five musicians, Georg Alfter, Michael Buchner, Norbert Podien, Thomas Klarmann and Malcolm Shuttleworth. Over 30 years later Klarmann had enjoyed success as a member of Argos and Superdrama, so a new formation was inspired and gathered to give Eyesberg another shot. Klarmann however was not among the participants, this fresh start was made by Malcolm Shuttleworth (vocals), Norbert Podien (keyboards) and Georg Alfter (guitar, bass), but Klarmann's bandmate on Argos Ulf Jacobs was invited to join on drums. The old compositions of the band had been reworked and in 2014 Eyesberg launched their long-awaited debut ''Blue'' on Progressive Promotion Records, an album containing obvious influences from the music of IQ, Pendragon and Fish-era Marillion and a must-have for all fans of the classic 80's-styled Neo Prog style.

Eyesberg were found in Frankfurt circa 1980 by a team of five musicians, Georg Alfter, Michael Buchner, Norbert Podien, Thomas Klarmann and English traveler Malcolm Shuttleworth, who settled down in Germany, after playing music in Israel. Apparently this early formation was not very succesful with no documents left from this premature stage. Over 30 years later Klarmann had enjoyed success as a member of Agos and Superdrama, so a new formation was inspired and gathered to give Eyesberg another shot. Klarmann however was not among the participants, this fresh start was made by Malcolm Shuttleworth (vocals), Norbert Podien (keyboards) and Georg Alfter (guitar, bass), but Klarmann's bandmate on Argos Ulf Jacobs was invited to join on drums…

Following on from their debut album Blue and the critically-acclaimed second album Masquerade, Eyesberg now present their new concept album masterpiece Claustrophobia - the life and times of the artist Vincent van Gogh. The album charts the life of Van Gogh from a disturbed, unloved childhood and adolescence through to a troubled, angst-ridden adulthood, up to his resulting insanity and ultimate suicide. The album once again features drummer Jimmy Keegan (Pattern Seeking Animals / ex-Spock’s Beard), who also produced and mixed it and, for the first time, the female backing vocals of Emma Edingloh.
