Heroes of the working dead / Live TV-Gig Kanal 21 (2009)
(and the devil said) Because / Live WGT 2008
In a general musical landscape, where six weeks' trends seemingly mean everything and authenticity nothing, REPTYLE stands out as an example of what rock'n'roll was meant to be.
When REPTYLE came into being in the second half of 1999, the basic direction was as clear as it is now: To explore the dark side of rock'n'roll, drawing inspiration from the best of three decades of intense, hard, emotional music. The energy and despair of 70's hard rock and punk; from the 80's, the melancholy beauty of the originators of what was eventually called "goth" and the eclectic approach of the 90's underground: All these left their stamp on the new REPTYLE as it began to crawl. Following three demo CDs, all of which met considerable critical acclaim, REPTYLE released their debut album "A High And Lonely Place" in 2004, which drew enthusiastic comments: "Goth rock at its best" (Undergroundpress), "100% goth rock entertainment" (Sonic Seducer mag), "REPTYLE might become a new spearhead of German goth" (Legacy mag).
In May 2007, the long-expected second album was released. “Consequence“ combines underground rawness, perfect songwriting and pitch-black atmosphere at a milestone of European guitar goth. With hooky anthems (“Bought Me a Lie”), dance floor stompers (“Where I Come From”, “Just Like You”) and almost frighteningly intense epics (“Under the Hammer”, “Great Opportunities”), REPTYLE presents a varied offering of high-octane goth rock.
"Reptyle goth and rock for all they're worth“ (Orkus magazine)
“Every aficionado of timeless, dark guitar sounds should grab this!“ (Zillo magazine)
“Consequence is definitely one of the musical highlights in calendar year 2007!” (Schwarze Seiten)
In the beginning of 2009, REPTYLE were invited by German TV-Channel “Kanal 21” to play a gig in their studio, which was sold out and transmitted in full length on local TV.
Currently REPTYLE are in studio working on new material which is due to be released in late 2009.
REPTYLE has been a live band from the start - years of gigging in Germany and abroad with the likes of IKON, CLAN OF XYMOX, FUNHOUSE and CINEMA STRANGE, and on festivals such as the "WAVE GOTIK TREFFEN", "HERBSTNÄCHTE" or "JUDGEMENT DAY" , bear testimony to this.
REPTYLE are an underground band. They do what they feel like doing, and they'll go on with it.. Take it - or leave it.
REPTYLE drink much and rock more.
REPTYLE want you. Go to their gigs, buy their CDs, buy them drinks.

Thanks a lot for adding me! I am a big fan of your music since your first mini cd-r you put out! I think that there were many great songs in it includeed "Just another Message" of course and "May 18th". Anyway I love your music a lot and your "Hard Goth Neph" style you are playing! My personal favourite of your new album is "Just like you" and I am keep playing it over and over again at my dj sets! A very close Greek friend of mine: SumerSon, told me that he is trying to bring you play live here in Greece! Wish he succeed it!
