Black Bomb A + Friends & Failures Live @ Béi Chéz Heinz – HANNOVER

Crossover Music: a genre, melting the rebellion of punk, the energy of hardcore, and the power of thrash metal.

While many famous American bands display their skills within that style, France’s BLACK BOMB A has been the only official crossover delegation in its country for 23 years.

With 7 albums, 1 EP and 2 live DVDs under the belt, the band built an expanding career around their timeless style. The recipe is easy as ABC: a powerful and groovy rhythm section, ground-shaking riffs, backed by two amazing vocalists: one digging deep into the abyss while the other one is flirting with hysteria.

Black Bomb A played more than 1000 gigs which left hordes of fans drained of their blood, and totally devoted to the band. The interchange of energy between BBA and its audience is one hell of an amazingly contagious live experiment,

They recently toured with « Crowbar » and even recorded a song with Wattie from « The Exploited. »

« Black Bomb A ». Enough said when the band’s name itself is already synonymous with a headbutt.

Friends & Failures

Friends & Failures come from Braunschweig and are 5 long time friends who all grew up with Hardcore bands like Battery, Comeback Kid, Verse And Bane.

After having performed in various Metal/Core bands, they arrived at the decision to establish a new Melodic Hardcore band.

When the first notes and text of the debut album were written, the band decided to prepare everything pretty quietly and come out with a blast. In April 2023 the band recorded 10 songs with Alexander Sickel from Tiny Pond Recording Studio. For the Mix and Mastering, nobody less than McTernan (Battery/Be Well) was responsible in the Salad Days Studio (Bane, Hot Water Music, Converge, Boysetsfire, Thrice, etc.) A very energetic Melodic Hardcore album was born, which sounds as nostalgic old-school as it does young and innovative
