23.12.2022





06.11.2022

A little over a year ago, we were able to celebrate our live premiere at the 1st Upper Saw Festival - an incredible evening. All the more we are excited that we are invited again for next year and then of course we can present the songs of the new CD. The place will be trembling - promised!



04.11.2022

Good news: our screamer is feeling better from day to day and so we can slowly start with the badly missed gigs again.
We will start in 3 weeks, together with CROSSING SABBATH at the reopening of the Luftraum, the "Metal Is Forever"-club in Fürstenfeldbruck. This will surely be a heavy party and an awesome reunion with many faces from the community ... hell yeah!



15.10.2022

During the compulsory break, a small retrospective offers itself, for example with a photo series of the past Wellesweiler Open Air:




03.10.2022

High time for a small update on the current situation.
In the meantime, word has spread that our Bobbes had to undergo a very serious operation in August. Fortunately, everything seems to be over now and Bobbes is getting better day by day. However, in order not to endanger the further healing process, he must continue to avoid any exertion and stress in the coming weeks.
For this reason BLACK & DAMNED will probably not be able to play any more gigs this year. The planning for 2023 is already in full swing - we will keep you up to date.



27.08.2022

And we were really looking forward to it ... but health comes first:
Due to an urgently needed operation of a band member, we unfortunately have to cancel the gigs until October - so sorry!



14.08.2022

Wellesweiler - what an awesome evening. It was an honor for us to be there. Thanks to all from the Orga-Team and all visitors - you were simply amazing !!!
Now it's time for a short holiday break before the next festival in Obertraubling on 10.09. - we are really looking forward to it.



17.07.2022

The first OpenAir of the year is behind us. What can we say: It was an honor to be part of the "Rock dein Leben-Festival" and rock out for you. Special thanks to Vitali Schogenov (20Dark7), who replaced Axel on the drums. Here are some nice impressions of the gig:




27.06.2022

The first two gigs this year are over and what can we say - it was incredible fun to finally rock out on stage in front of horny metalheads again, because that's what it's all about:
Celebrating fat parties together with you.

Now we continue with 4 festivals, the first two "open air". Are you ready? In any case, we are already absolutely hot for you!!!




13.06.2022

"Dreamhunter"-video shoot part 2



22.05.2022

Yesterday was the 1st video shoot for "Dreamhunter" with the band - part 2 with actors will follow soon.
Micha, our man for the moving pictures, has of course worked out a script with a horny story - it's in progress ...



20.05.2022

The mix of the new album "Servants Of The Devil" is now in the can.
Achim Köhler has done a great job again - we are thrilled.
It's a pity that we can't publish any samples at the moment, but we're really looking forward to it.



08.04.2022

High time for an update on what is to come:

- The recordings of the second CD are finished!
- The mixing & mastering with Achim Köhler has started!
- The CD cover and the booklet artwork are finished!
- The first video is finished!
- The shooting for the second video is in the starting blocks!
- 3 live shows are already booked!

Only ... there is still nothing to hear or see officially from the second CD :-(
A little patience is still needed - we also can hardly wait :-)


02.04.2022

Our label has now launched a mega online shop in Germany. You are welcome to go shopping for CDs and shirts there! Mainly from BLACK & DAMNED, of course :-)

Today the next step to the second Black & Damned CD was made.
Photo session for the booklet with Bobbes ... ...




31.12.2021

2021 comes to an end - a year that probably everyone looks back on with very mixed feelings - including us.

A year in which we received phenomenally positive feedback for our debut CD - a huge thanks to all who have pushed us so hard since then (especially Aky and Rock of Angels Records) !!!
A year that practically didn't allow any gigs - a huge thanks to all who nevertheless rocked and partied live with us 2 times !!!

Now we are in the starting blocks for 2022, a year that will hopefully bring back the old normality for everyone step by step !!!
In any case, we are already incredibly looking forward to welcoming you all live again without restrictions at numerous events - we'll see you around.

Until then: Have a good time !!!






20.11.2021

Small intermediate update:
After there will be no concerts with us in the near future for known reasons - a clear no to exclusions - we are now fully dedicated to the new album.
The pre-production is mostly finished and the final recordings have already started. We will keep you in the loop - be excited ...



13.10.2021

Today a small selection of photos from the Metal Is Forever fan meeting. And when there's such a fantastic atmosphere at a gig, even the wrong band banner in the background doesn't bother much :-)




18.10.2021

There are evenings you never forget - the "Metal Is Forever" fan club meeting last weekend is definitely one of them.
What an incredible party! A huge thank you to everyone who made it possible and helped celebrating.
It was an honor to have been a part of it. More pictures will follow.

Since Saturday, the new shirt in "Dark-Camouflage" is also available - this young lady already has:

Detailed information on ordering at office@blackanddamned.com.



13.10.2021

Last Saturday, the long wait was finally over and BLACK & DAMNED were where they definitely belong - on stage - hell yeah !!!
The live premiere at the Upper-Saw-Festival in Dotternhausen was a complete success and an awesome fun. That's exactly how it has to be.
Click on the collage to get to the photo gallery with many impressions of the live acting.




10.09.2021

After the last few weeks have been a bit quiet, it's high time for a follow-up:
Video No. 6 - "The Wardress



Production: Menschbilder Photo-Art - who else!



17.07.2021

We're really happy that we're slowly getting back to real live gigs and that the first dates of Black & Damned have been confirmed - finally.
Now we have to keep our fingers crossed that everything can really take place and that we can finally rock out together.
We are absolutely hot for it !!!




04.06.2021

WHO SOWS THE WIND WILL REAP THE STORM!
With a fresh wind, through our new bass player Pappe Lee, we will blow your hair off your skulls at our live shows !!!
Here now a photo of our current line-up!




23.05.2021

NEW BROOMS SWEEP WELL!!!
We proudly present our new bassplayer Pappe Lee.
Our former bass player Ali couldn't keep up with our speed and success and asked that we fill his position with a new bass player.
Well, we followed his request and are happy to welcome good Pappe to the B&D family.
With Pappe we will build up our live presence to a killer show and have already started working with him on the new album.
It's on - beware of the B&D-Machine!!!




20.05.2021

Behind the scenes - great memories of the video shoots last year.
Musically backed with "Heavenly Creatures":

Cooperation out of conviction! Guitarist Michael is now a proud endorser for STEYNER STRAPS! The guitar straps are handmade in Germany in highest quality. Michael uses the vegan strap by STEYNER, because this corresponds to his attitude towards life!
You can order your strap at www.steyner.de! Dig in!




25.02.2021

Now it's done - our fifth and (probably!) last video for the current album HEAVENLY CREATURES: "The world bleed".

The complete production of the video was - of course - done again by Micha (Menschbilder Photo-Art) from A-Z. :-)



05.01.2021

It was sadly predictable - the THRASH SPEED BURN Festival in January and thus also the first gig of BLACK & DAMNED cannot take place due to the extension of public restrictions and is canceled - so sorry.
We will see when normality will finally return and live events will be possible.

29.10.2020

The press release:

German Heavy/Power metallers Black & Damned sign with ROAR! Rock of Angels Records!
The year is 2020, a virus paralyzes us all and everything stands still. But suddenly and out of nowhere a new band makes its way into the limelight: BLACK & DAMNED
... damned, rising out of the dark and armed with the steely weapons of pure Heavy Metal! The two damned ones and prisoners of their passion are Michael Vetter (Ex-PUMP) with his sixstring axe and Roland "Bobbes" Seidel (IHRESGLEICHEN), who's proclaiming his messages on the microphone. And in their damnation, these two lost souls of the music industry have merged into a glowing and unstoppable unit.
For their (soon to be announced and presented) first studio work, Axel Winkler (IHRESGLEICHEN) was hired for the drums and Axel Mackenrott (MASTERPLAN) handled the keys. And with Ali Gözübüyük (BIONIC ANGELS) as the fighter on bass and Aki Reissmann (PUMP) who swings the axe of rhythm, the army of darkness was completed and is now ready to be unleashed to the world of Metal!
Are you prepared to enter the dark with these damned guys?
Today we proudly announce the signing of a multi-album deal with BLACK & DAMNED and welcome the band in the ROAR! Rock of Angels family. More info about the band's first full-length album, release date, track list and other details will follow in short!
