Search - 21Octayne :: Into The Open

21OCTAYNE is the epitome of soulful, honest, ass-kicking Rock with a slight touch of modern Rock. A new name, a new band, but no unknowns here: the band consists of vocalist Hagen Grohe (The Joe Perry Project), Marco Wriedt (Axxis), Andrew 'The Bullet' Lauer (Paul Gilbert) and drummer Alex Landenburg (Rhapsody). The young band has already tasted success with the release of a digital single for 'The Heart (Save Me)', which went (without any kind of promotion) straight to #1 in Amazon Germany's hard rock/metal chart and also appeared on the U.S. iTunes chart! This good start for 21OCTAYNE might be attributed to several factors, one being vocalist Hagen Grohe, who guitar icon Joe Perry (Aerosmith) made the vocalist of the Joe Perry Project. And Perry was not disappointed by the young German, who convinced on album recordings and numerous live shows in support of the release. 21OCTAYNE's first concerts were played in Europe, supporting Pink Cream 69 and German chart band Ohrenfeindt. As well, since the first half of 2013, countless 21OCTAYNE 'listening sessions' with fans and journalists have taken place in London, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, and Los Angeles (amongst others), increasing anticipation for the release of 'Into The Open'. 2014 will be a great year for Rock fans and there's no hiding from this awesome new band - 21OCTAYNE!
