Blacklands was founded in 2006 by Heavenward drummer Thomas Kelleners.
In 2007 keyboard player Manfred Reinecke and singer Moja Nardelli joined the band.
Until the fall of 2009 various bassists and guitar players were incorporated into the songs, but always in vain.
After several line-up changes, almost very near their final off, the band finally found, in 2010,
Rüdiger Sartingen on bass and Michael Stockschläger on guitar - the perfect cast.
In 2011 the band released a 6 track demo CD recording and started to play live.
Now, on their debut album "A New Dawn" Blacklands from Germany presents 12 excellent songs
with a total playing time of almost 80 minutes, full of finest melodic rock with slight progressive influences
feat. Killer guest appearances by Lennie Rizzo of Exxplorer, Terry Gorle of Heir Apparent & Giles Lavery of Dragonsclaw!


You can download "A New Dawn" from Amazon, Nimbit and iTunes or stream it at Spotify and Simfy.
The CD is available @ Pure Steel Records, No Remorse Records and through the official Blacklands website.
