The Adrenaline Kings were founded in Vienna, Austria, in the spring of 2002 by American guitarist Matthias Schneider and drummer Florian Hartl. After adding Paulus Unterweger as a second guitarist, the band spent the rest of that year writing new material, rehearsing and auditioning singers. At the end of 2002, Bernhard Högl joined the fold on vocals. The Adrenaline Kings played their first shows in Vienna and Lower Austria in the spring of 2003 with Paulus Unterweger’s brother Hanni on bass guitar before Alex Jilg joined the band as a permanent member.
Throughout 2003 this lineup continued to hone its skills as a live act and refine its song material. In the spring of 2004, the band entered the studio to record its eponymously-titled debut album, which was released at the end of the year by STP Records. For the next 12 months, the Adrenaline Kings gigged relentlessly throughout Austria and neighboring Germany, developing a reputation as a formidable live act.
In the early part of 2006, Bernhard Högl announced his decision to leave the band due to time constraints. The Adrenaline Kings worked together with vocalist Nick Harras from the band Codex for several months before Matthias Schneider took over as the band’s permanent vocalist and frontman. In early 2007, the four-piece Adrenaline Kings entered the studio to record their second album. These sessions were to stretch out over a year’s period as the band crafted the new record.
In October 2008 the Adrenaline Kings released their second album “Last Days Of Ancient Rome”, again through STP Records. Mixed by Niko Stössl and mastered by Gehard Pichler, the 14 tracks are a testimony to the band’s more compact sound and solidified lineup.
