The stage shortly before the performance at the Wolfweez OpenAir - a fantastic festival - awesome ambience, perfect
organization, great guests and even if the weather God wasn't too kind, it was great fun to be there.
Thanks Jochen & Heike for the great photos.

What a brilliant evening - the Metal Mountain Festival last Saturday was a blast, especially as you don't get the chance to share the stage with Vicious Rumors very often - a huge thanks to Gosheim for the mega event. Sascha & Nadine Hintz documented the whole thing impressively - thank you both.
.
In two weeks, the show continues at the Wolfweez OpenAir - we'll definitely push hard again before focusing entirely on finishing the new CD. All recordings are already in the box and only last details regarding the artwork and of course the final mix are outstanding. More information about the new record will be coming very soon.



21.05.2024

And here comes the next bad news, this time due to the miserable weather forecast - the Schädelfest and therefore the gig next Saturday have just been canceled :-(
Already the 4th cancellation in 3 months - bitter - but at least this gives us a bit more time for the current CD production - the finishing line is clearly in sight.
The next live date is now on June 15th at the Metal Mountain Festival - now we are looking forward to that even more - don't miss it!!!



30.04.2024

We have just heard that Michael Bormann's Jaded Hard have canceled the common gig on 17.05. in Waldbronn.
Too bad, then maybe another time ...



14.04.2024

It was a long time overdue - the first gig with our southern neighbours in Switzerland. And it was definitely a lot of fun when we finally got there two weeks ago. A huge thank you to the team and the metalheads in the Met-Bar. We are really looking forward to the sequel.




17.03.2024

Not only the recordings for the 3rd CD are at full speed, so are the preparations for new visual presentations:





29.02.2024

We were really excited about the next two live dates - now the double pack of cancellations has arrived:

The gig tomorrow in Donauwörth has unfortunately been called off at short notice today, as the frontman of headliner Cave is obviously unable to travel from the USA. And also the planned show on 15.03. in Heidenheim has to be cancelled as the whole club there is closing - what can we say ...

So the next opportunity to enjoy Black & Damned live will be on 30th March in beautiful Switzerland - and then of course it will be time to turn up the heat and party with the Swiss!!!



02.02.2024

It was finally high time - last weekend we went back on stage at the brilliant party for the CD presentation of our friends from DUST & BONES - it was more than a pleasure, as Bobbes was also able to be there again with almost full commitment after a long break. Although he was supposed to take it easy for a while, there was no other way - a merciless performance, partly alone, partly in duet with Peter - it seems as if he has used the past weeks to recharge hisbatteries - welcome back Bobbes, you old ramp sow!!!

Next Saturday we'll be going live again and the diary is filling up more and more. We're really looking forward to being able to party with you regularly again. At the same time, we're also going full speed into work on the 3rd album. The songwriting is also in full swing and at the same time the recordings for the first tracks are already being prepared - there will certainly be no room for boredom in the near future ...

And suddenly there was silence - well, only brief and temporary ...

The last gig planned for this year was sadly cancelled last Friday due to heavy snowfall at the venue, so the winter break has now begun a little earlier. Shit happens but the rescheduled date is already fixed.

We would like to take this opportunity to salute all the organizers and visitors of the gigs this year - it was an honor for us to play for you and to party with you. A big thank you also to everyone who supported us so fantastically by buying CDs, vinyl and textiles - you are the best!!!

The plans for 2024 are already in full swing and the free time will certainly be used again and again at full volume - songwriting for the next CD and rehearsing one or two new songs for the live events in 2024. Bobbes will certainly be back on stage next year as he continues to recover and gather strength. Of course, there will also be a reunion with Peter Hirsch, who rocked the last gigs so fantastically - Chapeau Peter and a thousand thanks.

We are already looking forward to welcome you back from the stage. Until then, have a good time and turn the sound up to the max from time to time.

Finally, here's a gallery from the last gig of the year at Soundcheck One - thanks to Peter Gödecke for capturing the special stage atmosphere:

Wicked ones claim that the old men of Black & Damned have to spend more time in medical treatment than rocking out together. Unfortunately, it must be said that this is not completely out of the air.
After Micha, it's now Mr. Seidel's turn again, who will have to endure a serious medical procedure in the coming week. We keep our fingers crossed that everything goes quickly and above all successfully "over the stage".

Since Bobbes will sadly be out of action for several weeks, we are happy that our buddy Peter Hirsch (Sirius Curse, Crossing Sabbath) will take over the part at the front mic in the meantime. At the two festivals in Dotternhausenand Hohenmemmingen Peter was already on stage and proved that he is an excellent and worthy substitute until Bobbes is back in full action.
But now also again at this point: Welcome Peter !!!

Peter will play his first fulltime gig next Saturday at the Sonnenkeller in Balingen - hell yeah.




07.10.2023

What else can you say - definitely more Damned than Black - at least at the moment ...
Tonight in Alzey probably only 4 people will be able to stand on stage, but we will rock in any case.
Looking forward to see you!



06.10.2023

And here is the next gallery, this time from Metalnight Vol II last Saturday. The photos come again from the house of Hintz - thanks again!

Well, that makes you want to go to the next festival, tomorrow in Alzey at the Metalheads - so let's have a blast together ...

Part 2 of the Upper Saw Festival, now with the great pics of Jochen Martin:




30.09.2023

Great pictures from last Saturday at the Upper Saw Festival by Sascha & Nadine Hintz.
Tonight it goes on in Hohenmemmingen at the Metalnight Vol II - we are looking forward to you!!




24.09.2023

A huge thanks to the Upper Saw Festival team and all the metalheads - it was an honour to be part of this mega party again.




22.09.2023

The wait is over - no more summer lazing around - it's high time to hit the stages ourselves again !!!!
The next 3 weeks will start with 3 wonderful festivals:

23.09. - Uper Saw Festival - Dotternhausen (Ger)
30.09. - Metalnight II in Hohenmemmingen (Ger)
07.10. - Metalheads Gemany Festival VI - Alzey (Ger)

We are in the starting blocks, digging in our heels and looking forward to rocking and partying with you all without mercy.
