In a shared musical past, the idea of creating a new musical project together had already been present in the minds of Jochen and David.
Flirting with an high amount of heavy/thrash metal with an old school catchy and melodic touch to complete the package.
The seed was planted but due to daily concerns of the recruited members the project never found it’s liftoff.
Despite Jochen’s active involvement with ENCHANTRESS and David’s commitment to SHOCKER, a lingering desire to embark on something new persisted.
In 2023 Jochen and David decided to start the creative process, unwilling to let the musical ideas fade away, they took matters into their own hands.
David, armed with his guitar and bass, recorded the instrumental components in his home studio.
Utilizing contemporary technology, he seamlessly integrated supportive drumbeats with the riffs, creating a foundation that would later be pieced together into a cohesive arrangement with Jochen.
During one of their many collaborative sessions, Jochen added vocals to the existing riffs, gradually transforming them into fully-fledged songs.
This process unfolded several times until they found themselves with a collection of completed songs, prompting the inevitable question:
“What do we do with this? We decided to have the songs mixed/mastered and released under the musical project name NEUROBLADE and naming the EP ‘Desert Claw’. In summary, this is the genesis of NEUROBLADE and where we currently stand.”
