history
Taletellers were founded at the end of 2005 by Alan Costa ( guitar / vocals ) and Stefan Kuhn (guitar).
In March 2006 the band went into the studio for the first time and recorded their first sign of life, the EP The Missiles of Mercy, which received very good reviews in underground rock and metal magazines. The famous artist Mark Wilkinson could be commissioned for the cover ( Judas Priest “Painkiller”, Iron Maiden , Megadeth , Led Zeppelin etc.). The EP also already features the first version of the song "Bad Motherfucker", which has held number 1 in various Internet music charts for more than six months and has won several times with "Track of the Day", "Track of the Week" , "Best Lyrics" and "Most Rocking Track".
In spring 2007 the band started writing new songs.
In October 2007 Taletellers began recording their debut album Detonator in the Su2 studios in Illingen, Germany. Mark Wilkinson could be signed again for the cover. In May 2008 Taletellers signed a contract with Hammersound. "Detonator" was released in September 2008. Detonator received consistently positive reviews and was voted 3rd in the monthly ranking by the Swiss internet music magazine Metalfactory and received 9 out of 10 points.
In 2009 the band went on their first European tour supporting Grave Digger and Alestorm . The tour led through 23 European cities in Germany , France, Spain , Italy , Slovenia , Croatia , the Czech Republic and Belgium .
In 2010 the band went back to the studio and reunited with Phil Hillen from Su2-Studio to record the second album.
Mark Wilkinson could of course be hired for the artwork.
In early 2011 the band signed a record deal with Metalville.
