Gods of Blitz


Gods of Blitz were a rock band founded in Berlin. They performed a pop-friendly style of indie rock, with strong punk and metal influences.

History

Gods of Blitz were founded by Berlin-based musicians Sebastian Gäbel, Olli Wong and Freudenberg, and Jakob Kiersch. Their debut album, Stolen Horse, has garnered praise throughout German media, as well as assorted Australian music magazines, including Rolling Stone. With production from Torsten Otto and Gordon Raphael and mixing by Michael Ilbert, the band delivered a sound familiar to the American and British indie scene dominating radio and music television at the time.
Gods of Blitz also supported Maxïmo Park and Nick Oliveri during the Stolen Horse tour.
In 2007 the band released their second album Reporting a Mirage and toured extensively to support the album. Singer Sebastian Gäbel left the band in 2008. The remaining members recruited singer Nico Kozik as replacement, released a third album Under the Radar in 2009 before disbanding later the same year.
In 2012 the original line-up reunited for a series of concerts at the live venue Lido, Berlin.
