This song is from my alter ego Mitch van Picklock where I pay tribute to the glorious 80s. In this track, I combine heavy guitars with some cheesy synths and catchy melodies. Shooting the video was a lot

Keep on rockin' in the Free World! I recorded the music to this Neil Young classic last year and shot the video in January. I loved how the synths and E-Drums add a strong 80s vibe to this tune. And I

Hey there 80s people, as I grew up in the 80s (and 90s), I of course have a strong connection to that era. My memories are filled with great adventures, awesome music, movies, computer games and TV shows.

"A Sailor's Song" is a tune that I recorded for my last album "Across Open Seas". I always wanted to do a video for this song but I never found the time nor do I have the proper animation

The song "Warriors in the Mist" is the name of the first chapter of the fantasy book "A Wizard of Earthsea".

As an artist, the most fulfilling thing for me is writing my own music and seeing a song come to live. However, from time to time I also like doing an interpretation of a famous song that I love. My approach

Lockdown is going into the next round and quarantine is prolonged. Here is a small video I did with my band Dead Man's Boogie during a quarantine session last year. It is a cover of the famous tune Rocking

This song was originally written and recorded over 20 years ago for my band Divine Symphony. It was actually a melodic speed metal track (180 bpm) but I recently fooled around with it a bit. I came up

Here is a new song, heavily inspired by nature and meant to be the intro to my new record I am currently working on. I made a lyrics video and added some nice shots by @patschwork that perfectly fit into

These are strange days we currently live in... Dystopia lurks around the corner - if not already here. In these dark times I found myself writing dark songs with dark lyrics. But in the end there is always

Hello fellow Steemians! Nothing to see here, just some guitar shredding ;) I love ENGL amps and decided to buy the ENGL Savage guitar amp plugin by Universal Audio for my audio interface. It sounds amazing

Here is a video I once recorded for the Open Mic Contest. The song is called Mother by the band Danzig. I always find it fascinating how songs turn out when only played on an acoustic guitar. So I wish

Hail Steemians! I know it has been overhyped and I am not going to write much about the show itself, although my wife @patschwork and I enjoy it very much. We even have been to Dubrovnik aka Kings Landing

Hello fellow Steemians! Took me quite a while to post again... Mostly because I have been busy with too many projects (the latest together with @patschwork you can find here). We are also working on a

Steemit! Long time no see! My last post has been already five months ago. Somehow I got distracted by buying a house and moving and so on… But now we’re all good and I want to share the process of setting

This is the title track for the new album of my band Dead Man's Boogie. The song is called Devil Nation. I got inspired for the lyrics when I was travelling to China and South Korea: In Beijing, I decided

Hello fellow Steemians! This song probably needs no further introduction. It's the (in)famous Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen and for sure one of the most-covered songs of all time. I played it on several

Hello fellow Steemians! For this week's open mic I decided to do one of my all-time favorite songs by one of my all-time favorite bands: Believe by Savatage. I already mentioned this heavily underrated

Hey Steemheads! Another tune from my band Dead Man's Boogie. The song is called "The Flood" and it is one of our more proggy ones with an odd time signature - if you can count it out, let me
