Rebellion is a German heavy metal band. It was formed in 2001 when guitarist Uwe Lulis left Grave Digger in 2000, taking ex-Grave Digger bassist Tomi Göttlich with him.[1]

Band history

[edit]

The band's first album was a concept album about William Shakespeare's work Macbeth, and included spoken passages with members of the band and other people as the story's characters.

The second album involved more standard heavy metal lyrics—about motorcycles, metal, war, etc.—and the music was somewhat rougher.

In 2005, the band released the first part of what is intended to be a trilogy about the Vikings and Norse mythology. In the beginning of 2007, they released their second part in the trilogy about the Vikings. It was titled Miklagard and was the band's most successful album so far. In 2009, they released the album Arise: From Ginnungagap to Ragnarök, the third and last part of the trilogy.

Ex-drummer Randy Black is now playing in Primal Fear; ex-guitarist Björn Eilen is playing in Silver Maiden and The Talkies.

In late 2010, three members of the band, Uwe Lulis, Gerd Lücking, and Simone Wenzel, departed, leaving the remaining two members with the band.[2]

In the COVID years Rebellion found themselves with three seasoned songwriters in the form of Thomas Göttlich and new guitarists Martin Giemza and Fabrizio Costantino. With no concerts to play, they started forging the ninth Album "We Are The People".[3] In the aftermath of COVID Rebellion quickly started touring again while concert halls were just slowly were starting to be crowded again. Their latest Album "X-Live in Iberia" is a raw, mostly unedited recording of this experience.[4]
