Rostok Vampires is a German thrash metal band from Dortmund , which was founded in 1986, disbanded in 1993 and reunited in 2001.
history
The band was formed in 1986. After various changes in line-up, the band played a concert in West Berlin on New Year's Day in 1988. In October the band went to the master plan studio and recorded 21 songs in three days and sent them to various labels. The band reached a three-album deal with Nuclear Blast . The band recorded their debut album Transylvanian Disease in 1988 and released it in the summer of the following year. The album was the label's most successful at the time.
On November 15th, the band began a tour of European clubs with Impulse Manslaughter . An EP called Pay the Price was also released, which contained six songs that did not make it on the debut album. The band played in the Netherlands , France , Italy , Yugoslavia , Hungary , Austria , Switzerland and Germany. The tour consisted of 38 appearances spread over six weeks.
In 1990 two more club tours followed and two appearances in Germany almost every weekend. In the middle of the year the band recorded the second album called Misery in the Masterplan studio and released the album in the fall. To promote the album, the band held a tour with Suckspeed . In 1991 guitarist Bulla left the band, so the group went on without him. A tour of Poland followed . At the end of the year the band recorded their next album in the Vielklang studios in Berlin .
Torment of Transformation was released in the spring of 1992. The Last Crash Tour started at the beginning of summer. For this purpose, the band released the EP Stone Dead Forever , which featured previously unreleased material. The last gig took place on June 2nd in Karlsruhe . Since singer Christian Schwieghusen felt too exhausted to continue to work with the band, he separated from the band. The band tried to replace him, but did not succeed. Therefore the band split the following year.
After a rehearsal at the end of 2001, the band decided to play concerts again. Bulla returned to the band and bassist Thomas Supe replaced Doerfel. The comeback appearance took place on June 22nd, 2002 in Unna . In July the band recorded a demo called In The Pitch and released it in 2003. The album New Morning was released in 2006 via Trashmark Records .
