The royal podium welcomes a new figure of light: the King of Thorns! He, who speaks uncomfortable truths like a messiah, who always stays on track with reality and never switches to autopilot for his performance, keeps a close eye on the present and the future. Behind its sonorous name lies German-language rock music by a five-piece formation whose songs get under your skin, sound powerful and grounded, sometimes angry, sometimes emotional. Pieces that serve the entire range of emotions from sadness to euphoria. The artistic composition of which is so contemporary and burning-up-to-date that it effortlessly sets the audience on fire.
Dornenkönig emerged from the Schlagwerk formation founded in 2012 Ralph Barthelmess (Singing), Markus Dietz(keyboards), Stefan Schoenbrunn (Guitar), Michael Smith (bass) and Sinisa Bogdanovic (Drums). In this band, every little bit of fine-tuning is honestly fought for, without pointing fingers or precocious pseudo-wisdom of self-proclaimed do-gooders. The King of Thorns and his followers are a deeply sworn community that has only one goal in mind: songs with a magnetizing and addictive effect, with strong melodies, concise hooks, sometimes harsh riffs, dynamic grooves and anthem appeal.
