with great sadness we have to inform you that our beloved friend, charismatic frontman and one of a kind vocalist Dirk Schröder has passed away.

We are still processing what has happend as Dirk was not just a bandmate to us, but a dear friend. Besides his larger than life personality, Dirk had a heart of gold and was very protective towards the people he cared about, even at the expense of his own wellbeing. He will be deeply missed by all of us.

But while mourning his loss, we should also cherish the memory of him and all the things he has accomplished, all the joy he has given, his music, his legacy... May he never be forgotten!
