On SHADE OF GOD?s first longplay album REHAB takes you on a journey
through Metal and Hardcore history and beyond. Heavy riffing, pounding,
hypnotizing rhythms and the tension of unexpected melodies convince with honesty and catchiness.
Daniel is also the singer and guitarist of Munich trio BLIND MESS.
In 2019 Daniel suffered a burnout, which quickly ended in a deep depression. So he had to undergo psychological treatments. From September until October he visited a rehabilitation facility in the Black Forest. Without TV and other distractions from everyday life, he had enough time to devote himself to (t)his music.
Daniel handled all of the production processes itself. From the songwriting
to the instruments - from recording, mixing and mastering to the
creation of the cover. That makes this record very special for him.
But there are two exceptions: the vocal on song 'Aftermath' is done by Christian Kraeter (singer of RAPTURE). In addition, two guitar solos on 'Aftermath' and 'Colors Of Hate' have been recorded by Oskar Sirbu (bassists of BLIND MESS). The last song on the album is a cover version of HATE SQUAD?s Mindloss. They are friends for a long time.
These songs are from a very dark period of his life. This album was created in the darkness and led Daniel back into the light.
