history
The band was founded in 1995 by Pascal Flach and Christian Buss, who knew each other from school, in Saarbrücken and played a mixture of stoner and raga rock at the beginning of their musical career . With the change of the singer from Flach to Karsten Brill , who works under the pseudonym Dr. Don Rogers played at Red Aim, the group changed their music to heavy metal influenced by punk rock .
In 1996 and 1998 the band released two self-directed EPs, Sinai Jam and Orange, before the group came under People Like You Records and released their debut album Call Me Tiger . Another EP and an album followed with the releases of The Aprilfuckers and The Saartanic Cluttydogs . Red Aim signed a little later with the American music label Metal Blade Records and released another full-fledged studio album, Flash for Fantasy . With Niagara , the fourth and final album of the band was released in 2003. A fifth album, which was to be called The Pink Necromantic and was announced for 2006, was never released.
Thorsten Erbel, who joined Red Aim as bassist for Patrick Schappert in 1998, was replaced in 2002 by David "El Davide" Vogt . In addition, a keyboardist , Christian Jost, joined the band.
In August 2001 the band played on Summer Breeze . This was followed by an appearance at Wacken Open Air and a tour as the opening act for In Extremo . In 2003 Brill, Buss, Jost and Vogt founded the power metal band Powerwolf .
