MAD SIN Live @ AJZ Talschock_Chemnitz + Lucifer Star Machine, Royal Booze Conspiracy

MAD SIN

were born in 1987 out the hard rockin’ street fighting, heavy drinking,
seedy gutter of the rockabilly/punk underworld that flourished in a Berlin still
entombed by the Eastern Bloc. Not even the Iron Curtain could stop the spread of
the sickness that spewed from the first incarnation of the band, Koefte, Stein and
Holly when they blasted headlong into the thriving European Psychobilly scene with
their first full length album “Chills and Thrills”. 25 years on and 10 albums later
the band have grown from the angry psychobilly trio playing squats and back rooms
of dingy bars to a full-sized chart-bothering multi-genre embracing globe-trotting
behemoth of a band. MAD SIN now happily straddle festival stages looking the
crowd straight in the eyes just as they did in 1987 though are still as eager to dive
headlong into the audience at a club gig as if the past quarter century had never
happened.
“25 Years – Still Mad” is the band’s first ever DVD release and are quite rightly very
proud of it. Running for approximately 160 minutes this audio CD/DVD set features
their anniversary show in their home stomping ground of Berlin recorded in 2010,
interviews, and previously unreleased rare footage from 1987 onwards. In addition
the set includes video clips from earlier singles, a tour documentary, private tapes
and a photo slideshow. In a nutshell, “25 Years – Still Mad” is a near complete
audio-visual celebration of the MAD SIN’s hard-fought rise to mainstream album
chart success doing it entirely their own way, a fitting tribute to a band that have
fought adversity every step of the way and still came out swinging

Lucifer Star Machine

Lucifer Star Machine play fired-up Rock’n’Roll, influenced by Punk and Hard Rock.

Their high energy live shows cement their reputation as a true in-your-face Hardcore Rock ‘n’ Roll act. But it is the segueing of this wanton brutality with their sense for heartfelt and catchy melodies that makes them truly stand out.

The 5-piece was founded in London, UK in 2002 and has since toured several times across Europe, sharing stages with acts like Peter Pan Speedrock, Nashville Pussy and Demented Are Go.

In 2019 the band hit the stage at Wacken Open Air, one of the world’s biggest Heavy Metal festivals, where the bill included Slayer, Body Count and Airbourne amongst others.

Lucifer Star Machine’s first single, “Death Baby”, came out in 2004 and was produced by Punk Rock legend Rat Scabies of The Damned. After two album releases on various indies, they signed with German label I Sold My Soul Media in 2013, who released their critically acclaimed third full length “Rock’n’Roll Martyrs”. The record was lauded for its authenticity and its snotty and unadorned approach.

In 2012 founder and band leader Tor Abyss moved back to his home country of Germany, whilst the rest of the band remained in England. Over time the logistics proved to be too difficult, so he decided to give the band a fresh start.

Thus, since Autumn 2014, Lucifer Star Machine is now based in Hamburg, Germany.

​

In 2019 the band signed a record deal with Swedish label The Sign Records. The group’s fourth album “The Devil’s Breath” was released worldwide in April 2020 and received praise by the international press.

Due to Covid-19 all touring plans were put on hold. After the restrictions were lifted, the band toured the record extensively in 2022, with shows in Germany, Spain, Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Denmark and the United Kingdom.

During the pandemic, Lucifer Star Machine has written and recorded a new full length record. “Satanic Age” is set to be released by The Sign Records in April 2023.
