The NACHTMAHR live awards 2013

Dear comrades,

The last note of the last show of this year has sounded and we'll all be taking time off to recharge our batteries from what has been a very intense year for everybody involved.

We have been tried and tested, but everything that has been thrown at us made us and the bonds between us even stronger. The screams of our fans outsounded the ignorant voices of our haters thousandfold and the positive emotions every single one of you gave us during our shows and other encounters made up for all the negativity we were confronted with.

That's why we want to thank all of you for your amazing and ongoing support, as we could not do all that without you. What would the best commander be without his army? NOTHING!

We also want to give a shout out to special people and places that made this year special in our annual awards

Another year in the life of NACHTMAHR

Dear comrades,


2012 is over and what a year it was! We played great shows on 3 continents, all major festivals at great positions and realised our new album "VENI VIDI VICI" which was the biggest undertaking in the band's history so far. From the writing, production and the recording process to the casting, shoot and layout of the artwork over to product design this has taken the best of all of us, but we are damn proud of the finished product.

2012 has also been the year where more and more people tried to denounce and discredit us, where we got insulted from stage by fellow musiciansm where T-shirts and PSAs were made in a campaign to stop us and where we faced serious personal threats for what we are doing and stand for. Nevertheless it was a great year and at every show YOU, our fans, prove the haters wrong and us right in what we are doing.

...and here's to our annual NACHTMAHR awards!
