Hyglander

No Time For Dreamers

Early 1989, soon after their former bands had split up, bassist Claus Vonberg and guitarist Thomas Tefke met to play a session. With them were guitarist/Keyboarder Harald Moellges and Thomas'old buddy Roland Busch, aiding them on drums. Inspired by well known Hard'n'Heavy bands of the late 70s & 80s, Claus and Thomas idea of a band matched immediately: classic, riff based Heavy Metal giving space for melodic vocals and a powerful rhythm section. Getting aware that Duesseldorf's Hard Rockers "Stallion" split up as well, Thomas convinced singer Achim Hopf to join in. Both knew each other from times playing together in a band called "Sentinel". Soon skilled drummer Alvar Siefert completed the line up. The band's name resulted of their common preference for the same titled movie and the great Soundtrack by Queen. At this time no other same named band existed. Still they decided to add a typo to the band's name to avoid potential copyright struggles in the future. After live shows with astounding feedback from the audience a first demo tape was recorded in 1990 at Duesseldorf's Joswig Studios. After that 5 track demo, the band parted with keyboarder Harald, seeing Hyghlander's musical future in pure guitar sound. A live session at Joswig Studios followed in 1991,resulting in another 6 track demo. When first record companies showed interest, Hyghlander did one more live session in the same studio, to provide a decent song selection for a first longplayer album. Instead the band had to split up out of personal reasons during 1992. The present Hyghlander 17 track compilation has been exclusively re-mastered by Sasch Menschl for TopX Music/Scream.
