Haujobb

Haujobb (not to be confused with the demogroup of the same name) formed as a trio in 1993 in Germany, with B. Junemann being the third member to the current duo of Dejan and Daniel. Their first release was on cassette only, the now hopelessly out of print Drift Wheeler. This embryonic issue brought them to the attention of Off Beat records, who released their first CD, Homes and Gardens, later that same year.

Draven

There are at least three bands using the name Draven - One is Swiss, one is British and one is Brazilian. The British band, who describe themselves as alternative rock, gained media attention and praise for their Kevin 'Caveman' Shirley (Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden) produced debut album Eden in 2009. Eden is a concept album inspired by 'Paradise Lost'. Rumours have circulated suggesting that the band may soon tour as support for either Iron Maiden or The Answer, the band have denied that this is in the pipeline but hinted that communication with both bands had been made.

The two first demos was later re-released by the Hammerheart Records sub-label „Unveiling the Wicked” in 98.

"(AbsuЯd) Minds" is a music band from Germany. Absurd Minds was formed in 1995 by Stefan Großmann (voice, composing) and Tilo Ladwig (composing, programming, sampling). Musically they were inspired by the of the early 1990s. Between 1995 and 1999, Absurd Minds released three CD-rs in limited quantities, laying the groundwork for further developments by the band. After a long creative phase their first concert took place at the Dresden club, "Bunker". As a result of this the band came into contact with "Music Cooperation" who subsequently became their management.

The Young Gods

The Young Gods are an electronic/industrial band, formed in Switzerland in 1985. Current and past members include Franz Treichler (lead vocals), Alain Monod (a.k.a Al Comet) and Cesare Pizzi (keyboards) and Frank Bagnoud, Use Hiestand and Bernard Trontin (drums). They are generally considered to have been about 20 years ahead of their times, generating music that could still be considered on the bleeding edge today (due to the reliance on samples and sequencers, their concerts sound pretty much the same today as they did then).
