Dear friends,
After some days of waiting we are now ready to introduce another important guest in our festival bringining a wonderful combination of progressive, art-rock and pinkfloydian sound.
RPWL is a German progressive rock ensemble known for its richly detailed narratives and superb technical acumen.
Formed in Freising in 1997, the band's name is an acronym of the initials of the four founding members' surnames: Phil Paul Rissettio (drums), Chris Postl (bass), Karlheinz Wallner (guitar), and Yogi Lang (vocals, keyboards). Initially conceived as a Pink Floyd cover band, RPWL transitioned into original music within a few years, releasing their debut album, God Has Failed, in 2000 then developed a more robust and singular style, issuing a string of acclaimed albums.
Widely embraced in the art rock community, RPWL spent the next several years working to further distance themselves from their influences with albums like Trying to Kiss the Sun (2002), Stock (2003), and World Through My Eyes (2005). Their ambitious 2012 LP, Beyond Man and Time, was a concept album loosely inspired by Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra
The Bavarian prog rockers returned to the studio and emerged with the pseudo-concept album Tales from Outer Space in 2019. 2023's Crime Scene saw RPWL deliver a sprawling and unsettling set of songs rooted in themes of evil and various forms of malicious intent.
The RPWL live album “World Through My Eyes – Live” is the 22nd album in RPWL history and will be followed by a new studio album ”Human”. The album promises to be an extraordinary musical experience, featuring powerful melodies and philosophical depth.
RPWL have now been an inherent part of the global art rock scene and indispensable part of the live music cycle for more than twenty five years.
For top t Buzău festival, RPWL will come with an extended 7 piece band that promise a show that will go beyond music and lyrics.
