Bootleg Metal

The Very End is: Björn Goosses (voice), René Bogdanski (guitars), Alex Bartkowski (guitars), Marc Beste (bass), Lars Janosch (drums) Buy Music Here BOOTLEG METAL: So let’s get things started with the name. Who came up with the name and what’s behind it? THE VERY END: Not quite sure, maybe it was me cause I've been responsible for all lyrics ever since. But it may have been a bandmate just as well, can't remember to be honest. However, The Very End as a name is pretty obvious, I think. It stands for death, nihilism, the utmost final aspect of everything and everyone. BOOTLEG METAL: Where is the band from? THE VERY END: Northwestern Germany. This region is called the Ruhr and has a great heritage of both coal/steel industry as well as metal music. Kreator, Sodom, Rage, Grave Digger and many more are literally our neighbors. BOOTLEG METAL: BOOTLEG METAL: Is this the original line up and how did you guys find yourselves in the same band ...

Rebel Riot is: Bob Concrete (rhythm guitar / vocals) Jānis Kažemaks (lead guitar / backvocals) Kristīne Segliņa (drums) Kaspars Pētersons (bass guitar)      Buy Music Here BOOTLEG METAL: So let’s get things started with the name.

After a while we got fed up with the name because too many people where associating us with Billy Idol and we also wanted something more distinctive. We didn’t want to change the name completely so we changed only the second part, we ended up with Rebel Riot. We thought this name suits us better as it sounds punchier. BOOTLEG METAL: Cool man, yeah I agree. BOOTLEG METAL:  Where is the band from? REBEL RIOT: Originally we are all from Riga, Latvia. Some of the members currently have moved to other cities. But we still hav...

Stereoshifter is: Josh Cal - Guitar/vocals Peter Higgins - Drums Buy Music Here: BOOTLEG METAL: So let’s get things started with the name. Who came up with the name and what’s behind it? STEREOSHIFTER: Josh came up with name in 2014 by shifting some words around he liked and to be honest it was the only band name in a list of about 10 or so that wasn’t truly taken anywhere in the world. Stereoshifter was that band name. There’s no real meaning behind it. Kind of funny now that the band is duo because the name makes more sense now than ever. Stereo=2 channel, ya know duo = 2 members and we are kind of shifting back and forth feeding off one another energy wise. The name kind of fit later on when we became a duo even though it never was really meant to be one.  BOOTLEG METAL: (haha) Nice when it all works out. BOOTLEG METAL:   Where is the band from? STEREOSHIFTER:  We are from Denver, Colorado. Josh is originally from New Jersey. He moved...
