The new year is not really that new anymore, however we still plan on making it a truly legendary one. Of course we would love your help in that!

As always, you can find more information, e.g. about tickets, at http://www.inlegend.de/concerts/!

Speaking of festivals: Whoever likes Budapest as much as we do, can feel free to support us to play on the Sziget Festival which takes place there! We would be very happy if you help us on Facebook. HERE you can add us as one of 10 bands in the “wish machine.” Should we really manage to play there, we want to reward the team effort with a raffle among all supporters for a merch article of his/her own choice.

In the meantime, our Pandemonium EP (+ “Universe”) has been written down into sheet music by our new, fourth member Daniel Schmidle. Feel free to play along – and hopefully this makes the time until the next concert more bearable for you all. Of course you can buy the book at all upcoming concerts!

You can meet Daniel at one of the above mentioned shows – the rest of the band is also looking forward to entering the stages again and sends greetings!

Rock on!

Happy New Year 2012!

PS: If you have some time left in the holidays, it would be nice if you could help out our webmaster René Pickhardt by answering a survey about music festivals. He would be very grateful! ;)

First and foremost, we are proud to announce our first shows for 2012 after the winter tour with VAN CANTO:

2012-01-27 – Berlin (GER), K17 (+ Support TBA)
(for more details and tickets, go HERE!)

2012-05-04 – Gegen den Strom Festival 2012 – Braunschweig (GER), Meier Music Hall
(for more details and tickets, go HERE!)

2012-07-06 or 07-07 – Castle Rock Festival 2012 – Mülheim an der Ruhr (GER), Schloss Broich
(for more details and tickets, go HERE!)

Besides, you can all especially look forward to our show this Friday (2011-12-09) at Christmas Metal Open Air in Geiselwind (GER) because at that show we are gonna sell our new, exclusive IN LEGEND sheet music for the first time! It contains all notes of the Pandemonium EP songs and also the notes for “Universe”. The book will be available for a fair price and of course we will also sell it during the upcoming tour with VAN CANTO! Unfortunately, at this point we can’t exactly say when it will also be available in our official merch store but we are working on it and will let you know as soon as possible! ;)

We already wish all pianists and your piano teachers lots of fun while playing our tunes, and of course we count on your dexterity!

In the end we wanted to inform you about an issue that rather concerns Bastian than the whole band, but this doesn’t make it less important: In fact, Basti’s other band VAN CANTO has the chance to bring their a-cappella musical Peer’s Return (that he also helped compose) to a real theater stage! The only thing you need to do is to write an e-mail to the Thalia Theater in Hamburg (GER) and vote for the piece! HERE you can read the exact instructions – and yes, you can also participate if you are not from Germany! Please help make a dream come true for Inga and the guys! Thank you very much!!

But that’s not the only special thing about the video: It is in fact also a part of our new exclusive IN LEGEND YouTube DVD – a unique multimedia project that we had been working on for some while. With the help of a self-designed menu screen, all songs of our debut album are put together to a manually selectable DVD. In order to make this happen, every song of the album gets an own video – either an official music video or a slideshow video made up of band photos from various occasions. As a special feature, it is also possible to make the songs’ lyrics move along with the video synchronously.

And as a thank-you to all of you supporters out there, we not only make all videos available for your viewing pleasure on our YouTube channel, BUT we also give them away as free downloads! So check out the new “Download” page on here! As of right now, the first five songs of the album are available in the DVD – the other ones are yet to come.

Enjoy watching the new video!
… and of course we are looking forward to your feedback – especially on the new DVD! :)

You can look forward to seeing the magic triangle in the following 6 German cities again:

2011-12-28 – Pirmasens (GER), Quasimodo

2011-12-29 – Augsburg (GER), Spectrum

2012-01-04 – Ludwigsburg (GER), Rockfabrik

2012-01-05 – Osnabrück (GER), Rosenhof

2012-01-06 – Hameln (GER), Sumpfblume

2012-01-07 – Dusseldorf (GER), Zakk

Tickets for all shows except for Hameln are already available at Eventim or Metaltix – more details coming soon!

At this point we want to take the time to say thank-you to the guys (and of course the gal!) from VAN CANTO who have been extremely helpful and supportive from the beginning and with whom we could already share some amazing live moments. All of this couldn’t have been possible if it wasn’t for this band! That’s why we are also very happy that VAN CANTO and their fourth album Break The Silence entered the official German album charts at #23 in the first week of release, and strongly recommend buying the record! As an appetizer you can watch the latest video for the SABATON cover “Primo Victoria” HERE – of course with Bastian on (war) drums!

Sep 24 – Mainz – Haus der Jugend (+ Un Tipo de Langostino)
Dec 09 – Christmas Metal Festival 2011 – Geiselwind (+ Blind Guardian + Grave Digger + Iced Earth + Van Canto)

HERE you will find more information about the open air! And as you are already on the site, it would be cool if you voted for us so that we can hopefully play at the German Rock In Concert Festival in Lichtenfels next year! Thank you very much!

We’re really looking forward to playing live again and we hope to see many of you there! Maybe there will be some surprises… who knows ;)

After you gave our debut best reviews this year’s Wacken Open Air (the biggest heavy metal festival in the world) that takes place from August 4 – August 6 in Wacken near Hamburg (Germany) is going to be legendary!

Okay… Before you get your hopes up too high: No, IN LEGEND are not gonna play there… BUT Bastian’s other band VAN CANTO will perform at the Party Stage on Friday afternoon AND some great IN LEGEND fans have in fact organized a special camp at the festival where the IN LEGEND community can meet up and party together. Having a “Wacken camp” by the way means that at least 50 persons have come together in order to reserve a separate camp space!

We think that this is really damn awesome and definitely deserves to be mentioned here! And the best thing: The Wacken camp is still taking registrations! So if you happen to attend the festival and would love to join the circle of legends, just write a quick e-mail to wacken@inlegend.de and provide the following information:

• exact amount of persons
• your names
• your cellphone numbers
• your e-mail addresses
• the amount and the exact sizes of your tents (please differentiate between smaller tents for up to 3 persons and big tents for > 4 persons)
• if you are coming by car or not (–> there will be parking possibilities for your car right at the camp space!)

Registration ends at June 26, so reserve your spot now! You all rock!!

If you want, you can show your enthusiasm by writing a review at Amazon or the iTunes store in your country!

Speaking of iTunes: Here you can also purchase the exclusive bonus track “Me Against A Wall” that some of you might already be familiar with if they attended some live shows in the past!

Listen end enjoy – we are always grateful for your feedback and are proud that we have managed to create a true legend with all of you! And of course we are looking forward to the US/Canada release of the album on June 14!
