Today is a sad day for MMG fans around the world. We are very sorry to announce, that Singer Flo is leaving the band for several, personal and familiar, reasons. At present he sees no way to go on and we really regret this fact. Nonetheless we have to accept and respect his decision. With Flo we made great albums and played unforgettable shows, we had great times together. We wish him all the best for the future. Thank you Flo!
Flo's Statement
„This was definately one of the toughest decisions I had to make, and it was really hard to face the fact that I..m truely giving up on this band. There are a lot of reasons that have brought me to this
Anyways, I wanna thank everyone who has ever been a part of MMG for the good times I had while being in this band, all the people I have met, the places I have seen just by playing music and doing what I love.
Thanks to everyone who suported us, came to our shows, bought our stuff, booked us, promoted us, all the bands we had the chance and pleasure to tour and share the stage with and everyone at METAL BLADE RECORDS for giving us the chance to be a part of the MB-Family, and all the awesome work they have done for us. See you around." <3 Flo
However we will continue to work on new material. Who will become the new voice and face of the band has not been decided, yet - but, expect a cd release in 2009. We are currently casting potential singers but, if you think you are or know the right frontman for MMG and experienced enough (should live in germany / nordrhein-westfalen), feel free to contact us. Thanks to everyone who has always supported us and will support us in the future! <3 MMG
We are back from our Germany Tour with „The Autumns Regret".
Eventhough it was a short tour, it..s been an intense and fu**ing great time.
We had a lot of fun and we already miss the good times. „The Autumns Regret" was a superb support and turned out to be the nicest dudes ever.
We wanna thank everyone on that tour and of course those who made this whole thing possible:
Marek for booking, Simon for standing in on bass, Seb for tourmanagement & driving, Makke for selling the merch, Arnt for setting up the sound for us, TAR for all the funny moments, and everyone who came out to the shows and kicked it with us!
A detailed blog for a couple shows with pictures will follow!
Die Tour, auch wenn sie recht kurz war, hat unheimlich viel Spaß gemacht und wir haben eine Menge erlebt. „The AUTUMNS REGRET" waren ein super Support und echt klasse Jungs.
Die Tage posten wir ein kleines Tour Tagebuch mit Fotos.
Wir möchten uns nochmal bedanken bei folgenden Leuten:
Marek für..s Booking, Simon für..s kurzfristige einspringen am Bass, Seb für..s Tourmanagement, Makke fürs Merchen, Arndt für den Sound, The Autumns Regret für die Gute Zeit, allen Promotern und den Caterern, und natürlich allen, die zu den Shows gekommen sind und die diese Tour möglich gemacht haben.
Four days to go until our tour finally starts! Once again some information for you on explicit shows:
March 21rst , Sulzbach (Saararea), De HOF got canceled! We just got informed that the show is not happening. Friday 21rst is a holiday (Karfreitag) and due to our laws it is not allowed to play music in clubs and bars. It is also not allowed to let a band perform. The promoter and we are sorry, but we try to re-schedule that show sometime soon. Here..s the mail we received (german only):
Hallo XXXXXXXXX, wir haben vor etwa 1 Stunde einen Anruf vom Ordnungsamt (Herrn Plein) erfhalten. Er wurde darauf aufmerksam gemacht, daß bei uns am Karfreitag 21.3. ein Konzert stattfinden soll und hat uns das (laut Mitteilung vom Innenminister) untersagt. Begründung: Karfreitag ist der höchste katholische Feiertag. So leid es mir tut aber da muß ich den Termin absagen.
Da ich kein gläubiger Katholik bin, war mir das nicht bekannt. Herr Plein hat uns auf das Feiertagsgesetz hingewiesen,(dieses als Anhang gesendet bekommen)
Sorry!
Wir können das Konzert gerne an einem anderen Termin nachholen.
Liebe Grüße xxxxxx
Anyways, we hope to see all of you at the show in Trier then, since it..s not that far away from the Saar-area! ------------------------------------------------------- March 28th, Essen: Once again a short reminder that the show is almost sold out (we just held 30 tickets back for the door!). If you wanna get in, make sure to be there before doors! Doors: 17:30 Show: 18:00
23rd Darmstadt:

TOUR TICKET CONTEST:
Here are the winners of our tickets: You should have recieved a message by now!
in less than 2 weeks we are hitting the road again for our Germany Tour and we are totally psyched! First of all, let´s start with the show on the 28th, in Essen:
The Pre-Sales of our hometown show in Essen has already sold out 3 days ago. There are less than 40 Tickets left for the door, so make sure you come out early to get a ticket if you haven´t got one yet!!! They defintely won´t let anymore people in, so if you don´t wanna miss out on that, make sure to come out really early to get a ticket at the door!!!!
The winners of the tickets for the Essen Show are already chosen and informed, so if you have participated for the contest to win the tickets for ESSEN, you should have received a message. I know we said that we announce the winners on Monday 17th, but according to the huge run on that show, we thought it would just be fair to let you know that you have to be there in time to get in!
So yeah, some more info about the show: Besides our support "The Autumns Regret", we added a shitload of cool bands to the billing such as our friends in Deadsoil, Never Again, and Left The Crowd. Besides our friend´s bands we also look forward to see a shitload of friends at the show. It´s also Boris (Deadsoil)´s and Mareks Birthday, so this show will be just a huge party! The Special Guest will be a Misfits-Cover Band featuring: Flow (Machinemade God) Vox Mille (KREATOR) Guitar Vic Chains & Lester Vail (THE SPOOK) on Drum and Bass
Besides that the whole show will be recorded by 7 Camcorders, which might end up as a DVD release! So no excuses for not come out!

Leider wird unser derzeitiger Drummer Sven die Band aus privaten Gründen verlassen. Demnach suchen wir ab sofort einen festen und motivierten Ersatz!
Wenn du: - Bock auf die Musik hast, - in der Lage bist, unsere Songs zu spielen, - auf „click" spielen kannst, - Bühnen- und Studioerfahrung hast, - bereit bist, deine Wochenenden für Shows zu opfern, - genug Zeit hast, um längere Touren zu fahren, und zu proben, - aus dem Raum Ruhrgebiet, Krefeld oder Köln bist,
Unfortunately our current drummer has to leave the band due to private reasons, so we are looking for a new drummer to replace him and be in the band full-time!
If you are:
- totally nuts for our music and music in generel,
- technically able to play and perform our songs
- able to play via "click"
- experienced with live performance and studio recordings
- willingly to spend your weekends with shows
- able to be on longer tours and if you have enough time to practice during the week
Write something about you, where you are from, what you are doing, what Equipment you use and whatever comes up your mind what could be from interest! Make sure to leave your valid e-mail adress and a phonenumber!!
We are looking forward to your messages!

FAQ
Q: WHAT IS THIS ABOUT?! A: The name says it all: Join this profile, become a member of our Street-Team and help us to spread our name!
Q: HOW CAN I SUPPORT YOU GUYS? A: Add our media such as banners, contact boxes and/or songs to your profile. Promote upcoming shows, post Bulletins, tell your friends about us and come out to shows! If you have live-footage from shows, upload them on YouTube!
Q: WHAT DO I GET FOR THIS? A: We really appreciate your support and we never took things for granted. Since we re not rich and all that we can..t pay you anything. But we decided to run contests every now and then where you can win some dope stuff, from merchandising over guestlists for shows and so on. We will see what we can come up with. Besides that, you have our eternal love!
Q: I WANNA BOOK A SHOW FOR YOU GUYS! A: That..s cool, cause we are always down to play live!Please send an e-mail to:
Marek@level3entertainment.com
He will work out everything with you!
Q: WHO IS RUNNING THIS PROFILE?! A: This Profile is, just like the MMG Band Profile, runned by us. Unlike to our Bandprofile, we..re not checking in here frequently, so don..t be pissed if we don..t answer your messages immidiatly.
Q: I AM FROM THE STATES/AUSTRALIA/JAPAN AND I WANT YOU TO TOUR HERE!!! WHY DON..T YOU TOUR HERE? A: We get a lot of messages to Tour in the States and we would love to. But it has become pretty hard and expensive for a European Band to tour the US. We appreciate the fact that you want us to be there, but letting us know doesn..t help that much unfortunatly.You can write Metal Blade and request us for a Tour, make sure to buy our Albums the legal way (CD or Digital from I-Tunes for example), and tell your friends to do so aswell! Spread the word so more people can get into us and maybe that will help to get us finally over there! We would love to!
THANKS FOR READING AND FOR YOUR WORK AND SUPPORT!!!! HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL SOON!!!
The reason for the 14th and 15th September: We all got really sick during our trip to Ankara. We probably ate something wrong. Eventhough we re takin meds it s not really gettin better and def no way to play the shows.
But we re already working on new dates so we can do these shows sometime later!
For the other shows that got canceld: Something went wrong between the bookers and the booking-agency. For some reason some of the shows we´re not really confirmed, or pple who booked the shows disappeared in mysterious ways...We re sorry for this but that is def not our fault!
anyways, keep checking our tourdates every now and then for updates and re-schedules!!!
