Deadlock Announces Lineup Change
Deadlock has checked in with the following brief announcement about a lineup change:
"LINE UP NEWS - our former bass player Ferdinand will continue as second guitarist to replace Gert, who left the group in early 2013 for family reasons."
Here is Ferdinand's statement:
"It's been 4 years now, since I joined the Deadlock family. I started as the merch guy, did the tour-management and took over bass, when John hooked up with the mic - so it was just the logical step, to fill the vacant guitar slot. Recording with Basti is always a huge challenge for every musician, but we had a great time while writing 'The Arsonist.' I already like my new job and I'm glad to know, that everybody else in the band is happy with the solution we found."

Deadlock Announces New Lineup
After having recently announced the departure of singer Johannes Prem, Deadlock is now introducing the band's new line-up.
For the new guy behind the microphone Deadlock found a band-internal solution with John Gahlert, who played bass so far. He already helped out a couple of times and proofed his vocal qualities very well.
The vacant position on the bass is taking over long time friend, driver, merch guy, and tour manager Ferdinand Rewicki. For the band it was no question that Ferdinand is the perfect addition for Deadlock on bass.
The new line-up can be checked on the following upcoming dates:
03.12.2011 Annaberg-Buchholz (D) - Alte Brauerei
27.12.2011 Oberhausen (D) - Zentrum Altenberg
28.12.2011 Zürich (CH) - Dynamo Werk 21

03.12.2011 Annaberg-Buchholz (D) – Alte Brauerei
27.12.2011 Oberhausen (D) – Zentrum Altenberg

Deadlock has already recruited a new vocalist, who will be revealed shortly. The band will also start the writing process soon for a new full-length album.
Former Deadlock vocalist Johannes Prem commented on leaving the band:
"After over 15 years of heavy music and being one of the founding members of Deadlock it is time to start a new chapter in my life. It was not an easy decision for me to split ways with my longtime friends but as life goes on everybody has to learn where to set his priorities. Having a great job and a perfect little family there is simply not enough time to give Deadlock the attention and time it deserves.
"So it is time to say a big thank you to all the people I met during that time and to all those friends that will always be part of my life. Deadlock to me always was so much more than just music, it was all about a strong message, a lifestyle and being on the road and party with friends, but times are changing and so I will search for new ways to give my thoughts and emotions a voice.
"It was a great time to be on the road with best friends, sharing so many funny moments we will laugh about for the rest of our lives (Tobi and Gert know what I talk about), having a musical genius that gave my lyrics the base (thanks for that Sebastian), having a beautiful voice on my side, that became more and more to the Deadlock trademark (Thanks Sabine). And thanks to all the people that worked for or with us throughout those years. All the best to the new Deadlock team. I will never forget those years."
