Festival News: Blind Ego Announced For RoSFest 2008

Posted on Saturday, September 22 @ 07:02:23 UTC by nightowl

RoSFest announced earlier today that Blind Ego will perform as Saturday's opener at RoSFest 2008 next May. Blind Ego is the solo project of Karlheinz "Kalle" Wallner, the guitarist for the highly respected group RPWL from Germany. Guitarist Wallner contributes a major part of the quartet's sound with members from various bands contributing to the playing are Paul Wrightson - vocals (Arena) John Jowitt - bass (IQ, Frost*) Yogi Lang - keyboards (RPWL) & Erwin Reader - drums.

Mirror was released this year and was well received by fans and reviewers alike. On the occasion of his solo-project Blind Ego, Wallner took a closer look in the mirror to reflect on a number of touching, very personal experiences. "The Mirror songs derive from different phases in the last three years," says Kalle Wallner. "During this time a lot happened in my personal life. Although I originally didn't plan on using autobiographical issues it did happen in the end. The songs are a result of different emotions: anger, hate, grief. While writing I sort of stripped down to the bottom of my soul and tried to convert all of this into intense music."
