First Nations Rock

While the German classic rock band PILEDRIVER gave an impressive statement of their decades-long live presence with the release of the opulent Live CD / Blu-ray / DVD box set "Live In Europe" from 2023, the band now celebrate their 30th anniversary with their new album "FIRST NATIONS ROCK", seven years after the release of their last studio album "ROCKWALL". During the recording of their fifth album, band founders Michael Sommerhoff and Peter Wagner welcomed three new additions to the PILEDRIVER lineup: keyboardist Tom Frerich, bassist Jens Heisterhagen, and drummer Dirk Sengotta. Musically, the 14 new songs are truly a force to be reckoned with. PILEDRIVER demonstrate an impressive joy of playing throughout the entire recording, sure to delight any classic hard rock fan. Each song features catchy hook lines with a high degree of recognition. Rocky, always melodic, at times ballad-like and melancholic, and occasionally garnished with surprising elements, "FIRST NATIONS ROCK" represents a comforting consistency in a world – not just musically speaking – that has not always changed for the better, especially in recent years.
