We are <strong>Hammer King<\/strong>, which means that we are the band that serves the Hammer King, which is probably the most brutal and ruthless ruler in the world. That\u2019s the king of kings and beyond and the concept is this: we come to a place and we declare this place a royal territory which is &#8222;Hochheitsgebieten&#8220; in German, which sounds fantastic and the only chance that you got is to live inside this &#8222;Hochheitsgebiet&#8220; to give your life to the king and then the king will slowly repay you with gold, with maybe physical pleasures or maybe sometimes with pain, you never know.<br \/>That\u2019s the thing and we praise the king, we sing songs about the king and of course what should be behind every metal band is that you bring music to the people and that you connect people. I really think music is maybe a sword of peace, you bring people together. It\u2019s important, in these times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>I agree with that. You released your latest album last year, I also wrote a review about it (<\/em>you can read <a href=\"https:\/\/sound-scribe.com\/en\/2024\/04\/01\/nasledujme-krale-a-cisare\/\">here on the link<\/a><em>). Could you tell us what\u2019s your main inspiration for writing topics for your lyrics and music?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Usually that\u2019s very late in the process, that\u2019s always at the very the end. There\u2019s sort of a topic, when you look through all the new songs. Last time it was very much about the king also becoming Kaiser, being bigger, better, having more power. Before that we had &#8222;Kingdemonium&#8220;, I always say that\u2019s been the corona album, we\u2018ve always been shocked by what happened to the world in these times. So we had a very dark album and lyrically you could see that the kingdom was attacked and the king had to defend his realm.<br \/>The miracle about writing songs for me is that there is no concept. You just start writing and someday you stand up, when you have the feeling you might have an idea. Sometimes you say okay next time I have five days off so I will write songs. But there\u2019s no strict concept behind writing songs. Gladly it\u2019s inspiration, it\u2019s the joy of music.<br \/>We\u2019ve played 30 shows in 2024, actually it\u2019s 29 but 30 sounds better and we\u2019ve never played that many shows in one year. You definitely find out what song works live and what song is not the perfect live song. I think when we do the next album we will very much focus on songs that we know will works live because we want to engage as many people as possible, because like we just did here at the <strong>Hellraiser<\/strong>, the more people join the better the show is, because metal is something for everyone, not only for the guys on stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>You were talking about some changes, you finally put the guitar away and you\u2019re focusing more on the singing on stage.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Yeah, that has been probably the hardest decision in a very long time. I\u2019ve played guitar basically forever, and I think that my guitar playing is quite elementary for the band. That doesn\u2019t mean I am the greatest guitarist, it\u2019s just I write a lot on the guitar, therefore we sound the way we do. So it was a tough decision to put it away and when we did the tour with <strong>Warkings<\/strong> last year I was sort of, frustrated is a strong word, but I think it was too much for me to see what the other guys could do and they all had a singer. I was the only one on the tour that had a guitar and I only thought it was a burden. It was very hard to work around the guitar and my right arm was in the air constantly so I didn\u2019t even play the guitar properly any more because I wanted to reach the people. <br \/>It was a struggle within the band. There were people in the band who were totally against it and said you CANNOT leave the guitar. It\u2019s important and other guys were more &#8222;Ah yeah well I don\u2019t really know, maybe it\u2019s ok?&#8220;, so nobody was really for it. One Sunday we were at a Chinese restaurant, it was a band evening that day and we talked, we had some food and I insisted on trying it. And then suddenly because of the food probably they agreed and they said okay why don\u2019t we just pick a couple of shows and try it. We have this Winter Campaign tour, 7 shows with <strong>Dominum<\/strong> and two more shows with <strong>Die Apokalyptischen Reiter<\/strong> so we will have the time to try it.<br \/>I remember the first rehearsal that we did with me without the guitar <strong>G\u00fcnt<\/strong> would say &#8222;Oh, okay, this has got some energy that we didn\u2019t have before&#8220;. We gained so much on this tour, it\u2019s getting better every evening. So it\u2019s the right decision and I don\u2019t wanna say too much but maybe in the future there should be another, second guitarist. That\u2019s the thing that I dream of but it has to be the perfect guy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>For me it\u2019s kind of weird to see you with just one guitar but on the other hand to see you just singing and enjoying the show more and working with the people more it\u2019s just so great and it works so well.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">At first we just said let\u2019s just do it with one guitar because there\u2019s no need to look for another guitarist and then say &#8222;I don\u2019t feel well I need to go back to play the guitar&#8220; and then we have to kick out that guy. So we tried it and we totally like it and the good thing for me is that I can really relax. There are nights where you don\u2019t feel at the top of the game because maybe you have a cold and now looking how to work around that, now I can stand for 20 seconds, breathe and regain energy. Back in the day I would play a solo, I\u2019d tune the guitar and I\u2019d do something else, I\u2019d never even drink on stage. So that\u2019s all a successful change and maybe in the future we will find this perfect guy who fits in the concept because personally I see this band as a two-guitar band.<br \/>On the album it\u2019s going to be the same band as before any ways, I\u2019d play at least 50% of the guitars as always. Thankfully, <strong>Gino<\/strong> is such a team player and he agreed to learn all the solos within a couple of weeks but that\u2019s the way he is, he\u2019s wonderful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>You were talking about going to the studio soon and you will start recording so can you say something more?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">I don&#8217;t know if I am allowed to say anything but I\u2019ll say something. We\u2019ll be in the studio in February which let\u2019s pretend is in four weeks and we have written many songs.<br \/>Of course the other change we have in the band is that <strong>Count Shandorian<\/strong> is the official drummer now, he\u2019s been with us for almost two years on and off. There was a period where it wasn\u2019t sure if <strong>Dolph<\/strong> would be finding the time to play full time or not and there was one day when we met for rehearsal, <strong>Dolph<\/strong> entered the room and I thought something is strange, I think he\u2019s not really preparing the drums at the same speed as always and then he walked to a part of the room and I thought never in all these years has this guy stood in this corner of the room, I thought something is vastly different. Then he said: &#8222;Guys, before we play we should probably talk.&#8220; And I immediately said: &#8222;You can kill me or not but I have a feeling that something like this would happen today.&#8220; And he just said: &#8222;I had some weeks off in the Summer and I see that the band is getting bigger and getting more work but it\u2019s definitely at the worst time for me.&#8220; And that was basically all. There was never any bad blood or anything. And this guy (<strong>Count<\/strong>) has been around the band for two years and he did all the shows that <strong>Dolph<\/strong> would not do and therefore it was the very obvious choice. We have not even asked if he wants to join, we just kept him.<br \/>There are some differences, <strong>Ivo<\/strong> (Count) is a very powerful drummer and he\u2019s not the slowest drummer in the world so I think we will take advantage of this and do some quite fast songs. I think it\u2019s gonna be an album where you can hear regular <strong>Hammer King<\/strong> stuff and you might hear, as I said before, songs that we think will do on stage very well and I am very sure that we will also have learned quite a lot from the last tours when we played with bands that worked really well live. So it should be a fantastic album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>I believed so as well, because the last one was really cool for me<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">You know the strange thing is when we did \u201eK\u00f6nig und Kaiser\u201c song at first we were a bit worried because it\u2019s different and it\u2019s got a lot of German things in it. At first I was a bit scared to play it live and now for me personally it\u2019s always one of the highlights. Because <strong>The Majordomus<\/strong> appears and <strong>the Maiden<\/strong> of the king appears on stage and we can play a bit with the people so that has been something very enjoyable. The entertainment is also for us and therefore I think we want to have some songs like this, some very powerful songs and I am totally looking forward to that album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Let\u2019s talk more about you now, you said you put the guitar away but you still like it so what were\/are your motivations to play the guitar and who was your guitar hero?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Woah, that\u2019s a good question. First of all, it\u2019s been quite long ago, am I able to remember? I was at a school that had musical focus, I was one of the guys who did not play any instrument and my music teacher was a cool guy, he also listened to jazz and he liked Queen and he told my parents back in the day: &#8222;I think he should play an instrument.&#8220; And my mom said: &#8222;Okay, what would you suggest?&#8220; and that guy said: &#8222;Well, either the trumpet or the guitar.&#8220; and gladly we decided for the guitar and I said okay.<br \/>I\u2019ve always liked rock and metal music and my father is only 23 years older than I so I have very young parents and basically my father and I have seen many bands live together. I was listening to Billy Idol back then and he used to have <strong>Steve Stevens<\/strong> on the guitar and he had these flashy neon pink yellow guitars from the eighties and I thought that\u2019s fantastic. I\u2019d like to have one of these guitars and I got one pretty close and I started working. I had a teacher who was not reliable and he was away so I had another teacher who was not reliable but I had learned enough from these two people that the rest I could sort of learn by myself and that was pre-youtube, today it\u2019s easy to learn the guitar. So I figured it out myself, listened to albums, records with headphones, listening as close as possible and trying everything. I learnt very much from myself and there was <strong>Steve Stevens<\/strong> of course and then it was <strong>Def Leppard<\/strong> who had another Steve, <strong>Steve Clark<\/strong>, the guy with the guitar on his knees who was very musical, very much feeling in his playing and there\u2019s been bazillions of other people but these two Steves probably were the first two people that really influenced me as a guitarist actually.<br \/>It\u2019s been very interesting, I still play the guitar, I do it during the soundcheck because we have to check so I still got the guitar on the road and these 2-5 minutes are always very enjoyable, so the guitar is like my best friend. There\u2019s nothing bad about it, whatever I do it\u2019s never harming me, when I fuck up it doesn\u2019t matter. As a vocalist, when you lose your voice it\u2019s very personal, that\u2019s a problem. The guitar is something very enjoyable and I\u2019m looking forward to going to the studio and play the guitar. That\u2019s the two worlds, sometimes you have to decide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Do you have some message for the Czech fans?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Yes! We\u2019ve played the Czech Republic I think 3 times. I\u2019ve played it 3 times, I think Hammer King has played it 2 times, I don\u2019t remember. It\u2019s difficult to say, every musician has a special audience but I think the Czech Republic has a special audience, I don\u2019t know what it is about the metal in Czech Republic but I\u2019ve played with <strong>Ross The Boss<\/strong><em> (former band)<\/em> the fantastic <strong>Masters of Rock<\/strong>, I think it\u2019s been around 25000 people and it\u2019s been absolutely fantastic. There were people everywhere, one of the biggest crowds I\u2019ve ever played, absolutely fantastic. And then on the other side I\u2019ve played this club with <strong>Hammer King<\/strong> and <strong>Mystic Prophecy<\/strong> where the club had to move and there\u2019s been basically no audience, maybe 30 people or so, but still these 30 people raised hell that evening it was fantastic from start to finish. When you do Germany and there\u2019s 60 or 70 people, you have to invest energy all night because otherwise they would die and go home. That has been something that is very important to me. We\u2019ve known each other for a couple of years and there are other people in the audience tonight that come from Czech Republic and all of them are friendly with us. There is something that really resonates with me, I\u2019d like to play the Czech Republic far, far more often. And I\u2019d like to play Masters of Rock again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>We would like to see you there!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you again for your time.
