NEW! Check Out Hinkel's Latest Bulletins! [Click Here]





HINKEL is the solo project of Volker Hinkel, co-author/guitarist/producer of Fools Garden.
Founded for the first time in 1993 for the production of the album "In The Wake Of Thunder" (1994), this project had a brand new start in 2002 when Dirk Blümlein (bass) and Claus Müller (drums) joined the line-up.
The 3-piece band worked on a new album, "Not A Life-Saving Device", which was released in August 2005.
In 2006 Hinkel comes to MySpace and starts a fruitful web marketing campaign.
Thanks to this, the song "House Of Love", taken from "Not A Life-Saving Device", has been chosen to be included in the soundtrack of the upcoming US movie "The Other Side Of The Tracks", directed by A.D. Calvo and with the TV series 'Roswell' star Brendan Fehr in the leading role.
While "Shine" and "Run" from the same album are included in the digital split "The Big Eye", realized together with The Mirrors, with cover art by Andy from Bluvertigo, which was released in Italy under the indie label Echophonic in March 2008 and promoted on Italian radios during autumn 2008.
The band finally had its first gig ever in Milan on February 20th 2009, at the historical venue "Scimmie".
Hinkel just released the new EP "Heaven And Hell", including a cover of the homonymous song by John Entwistle, a favoulos cover of "Baba O'Riley", an exclusive live version of "Run", plus a brand new Hinkel track titled "Speed".



Volker Hinkel was born on June 21st 1965 in Calw.

He learned to play the piano and the guitar and began his musical career in 1979 with his first band.

After several projects he formed the band "Fools Garden" together with Peter Freudenthaler in 1990 ("Lemon Tree").

During 1993 he realized his solo project "Hinkel".

In addition to his job as musician, he works as producer as well and composes music for movies and commercials.

Total time: 59:37

Not just a simple album but an one hour lasting emotional journey, which involves and shows you the various facets of a less than ordinary artist and his music. From pop to rock, through modern disco music ("Run" and "The Beauty Of It"), sweet ballads ("You Can't Fall Down"), awesome instrumental tracks ("Reprise" and "Save Your Life") and songs with a hit potential ("Shine"). All accompanied by captivating lyrics, which describe strong feelings and characters, in an atmosphere between dream and hard reality.

This album was recorded at Hinkelstone-Studio near the wonderful Black Forest in Germany. It rather took a long time from the first session to the final release!

CC-Licensed Free Download Album: "Der Wille lenkt die Tat"

http://www.jamendo.com/de/download/album/55168
(Filehoster: jamendo.com)

"...TAPETE aus Berlin schafft es mit seinem zweiten Album, seinen authentischen aus-dem-Leben-erzählten Stil mit den ihm eigenen und so noch nie im deutschsprachigen Rap dagewesenen Themen unter Mithilfe seines eigenen musikalischen Produktionsstils zu verfeinern und zu erweitern. Nach dem vor zwei Jahren erschienenem Album "Die Ewigkeit des Vergänglichen" und querelen mit einem "Talent-Newcomer-Förderungs-Plattenvertrags"-Deal
sowie einer Menge Auftritte in Berlin und Umland,
stellt Tapete sein Nachfolge Werk zur kostenlosen und unkommerziellen Verbreitung direkt im Netz zur Verfügung.
Dem Produzenten, Texter, Sänger und Rapper gelingt es, sein eigenes Dienstleistungserschleicher-Rap Genre zu festigen und eingängig so wie inhaltlich schlüssig mit Erlebnissen über Schwarzfahrten und Schuldenfallen sowie Abhandlungen über die allgemeine Beziehung zum Geld greifbar zu machen.
Die Texte sind in einer Art und Weise gleichzeitig ehrlich, verletzlich, doch souverän und auf den Punkt formuliert, aufrührerisch und zur Tat schreitend und animierend, ohne dabei lauthals rumbrüllen oder in platte Parolen abdriften zu müssen..."

Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my new erotic horror novel THE 13TH is now in stores everywhere! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride!

There's even a website devoted just to the book, with an interactive map of the places and characters at www.the13th-horror.com.

Edward Lee called THE 13TH "A double-barreled shotgun blast of macabre entertainment -- an expert amalgamation of grotesquerie, eroticism, mystery, and pitch-black occult horror that no fan of the genre can miss."

And Gary A. Braunbeck said, "John Everson's The 13th is the first out-and-out horror novel in a long while to actually scare the **** out of me while reading it. It's stylish, extremely well-written, filled with richly-drawn characterizations, and boasts a labyrinthine plot worthy of Umberto Eco. Trust me -- this one will fry your nerves and break your heart."
