Mahout Operator

Mahout Operator was founded in 2001. After long time of writing songs, we recorded our first EP "Get yo loco" and started playing gigs in Winter 2003. In the same year we joined in the emergenza newcomer festival and it all ended up with the world final at the taubertal open air.
In autumn 2003 after playing a whole bunch of gigs troughout germany, we decided to record a second EP called "slon".
The reviews were astonishing.
On the other hand they totally loved the record as 100% freaky and innovative or they absolutely hated it.
Here are some examples:

"Even though it seems to be sometimes a bit confusing, they always manage it to stick that chaos together and make it comprehensible(..). It shouldn’t be a wonder when an established Metal label discovers them and sign this band. But that MAHOUT OPERATOR have the skills for some really great efforts, that’s already sure." (Metal Observer, June 2, 2004)

„If I ever should see this band live and they..re not kicking 100% ass, you can forget that contest.”
(metal.de)

"(..) the thrilling songs should attract everybody, who doesn..t want to be be restricted in one..s thinking about New Metal." (Metal inside 2004)

“I can..t freak out to the tracks or even do anything else. Weird. Talent Yes, but no good songs. In Cologne we say “Whats all this bullshit good for?”” (Mainstage)

"The Scene needs freaks like Mahout Operator, they are bringing some pep back into the scene."
Highly recommendable! (Dark Scene Metal Mag 2004.)

In summer 2004 we kicked out our bass player and started looking for a new one. But it was more than difficult. After playing some shows with the new man at the strings in 2005, he left to do a world trip.
Since that day we had a long, long break. But now we want to rock that shit again. If you are interested in being our bass player, contact us.

The Mahout journey continues!!
