Hey man, lets start with current events, is the band working on new material?
We just released a new record called ‘BANG!’ through Dockyard 1 Records. Beside this, we also have some new material, but nothing really finished yet. First we have to play the new songs as much as possible… What were the reasons for releasing the live album and DVD? The main reason was certainly the anniversary of our 10 years of existence, hence the name “10 years of addiction”. We just wanted to close the first decade with this live CD/DVD package and give the fans the possibility, to enjoy a GURD-Show in their living room! How did things go for the band since signing with Diehard Music? After the release of “Encounter” Diehard told us, they don’t want to release new albums anymore & they want to focus on selling licences of records they already have. So we moved on & found a new label with Dockyard 1 from Hamburg/Germany. They have a big rooster with bands like Waltari, Shelter, Iron Savior or Mystic Circle & are very enthusiastic in doing a good job & having a good distribution.
