Zottel (vocals) - Ronny (bass) - Matze (guitar) - Ruben (drums)
HATCHERY play Thrash Metal and render homage to that Metal, that arised in the 80ies and lives on until today. The combination of 80ies metal riffs and a modern sound is a challenge for the band and the four metalheads manage it with passion and enthusiasm because for them METAL is much more than just a hobby.
Four Heavy Metal fans that will do their best to keep the metalscene alive!
KEEP ON THRASHIN’!
The Thrash Metal band HATCHERY was founded in autumn 2003. The four metalheadzu Nils Nortmeyer (g.), Erik Fillinger (g.), Ruben Andre (dr.) and Ronald Senft (b.) knew each other a long time and had been able to gain experience in various other bands (Flatline, Graveyard, Secret Land, Freezebitch). When almost everybody of them had no band to play in, it was clear that they would start a new band together, playing the kind of metal they always wanted to do.
Ingo Schäfer (v.) completed the line-up as shouter and und so the demos “Night Time Greys” (2004) and “Distorted Society” (2005) have been recorded in the studio W.U.M. (Ludwigshafen).
In the end of 2005 Ingo had to leave the band due to health reasons and Christian „Zottel“ Müller (Ex-Unscared) joined them at the microphone in December 2005. In autumn 2006 Erik left the band but HATCHERY managed to increase live activities and played shows all over Germany (for example Thrash Till Death Open Air, Summernight Open Air) and France, as well as in the Benelux.
In spring 2007 Paul Grosser (g.) joined the band at guitar and with him the album “Birth Of A Bomb” has been recorded in the “Kohlekeller” Darmstadt in August 2007. Paul left the band after the recordings and since then HATCHERY have played many concerts with bands like Cage, Fueled By Fire, Sacred Steel, Primordial, Wolf or Cavalera Conspiracy.
In December 2008 Matthias Ruoff (Orgasmodemon) closed the gap at the second guitar and after a few live-gigs the Kohlekeller-studio has been entered again to record the second album “Forced To Fight”. After the recordings the band parted with Nils, so HATCHERY will fire their Thrash Metal grenades into the audience as a quartet once again.
HATCHERY will increase their live activites in 2010 and you can be excited because: We won’t turn down for sure!
