Germany have of course produced a fair few talented rock musicians and bands over the years and 21 Octayne have been causing more than a little buzz so the imminent release of their debut album ‘Into The Open’ is a big event in the band’s life.For those who aren’t too familiar with them, the band consists of vocalist Hagen Grohe (The Joe Perry Project), guitarist Marco Wriedt (Axxis), bassist Andrew ‘The Bullet’ Lauer (Paul Gilbert) and Alex Landenburg (Rhapsody) on drums.

After three of the band met for a jam in August 2010, vocalist Grohe was quickly added to the line-up and they set to work doing what they do best, creating music, and as you can probably tell from their experience, their styles and influences are diverse so it was a question of how well it all fitted together and creating an individual sound.
