ROUGH SILK Films 'Reborn To Wait' Video

May 25, 2009

German epic/melodic metallers ROUGH SILK recently shot a video for the song "Reborn To Wait".

Check out photos from the video shoot at this location. A couple of the pictures can be viewed below.

"Reborn To Wait" comes off ROUGH SILK's new album, "A New Beginning", which was released on March 20 via Dockyard 1 Records.

Mastermind Ferdy Doernberg teamed up with André Hort (bass),Mike Mandel (guitars) and Alex Wenn (drums),who are young and hungry musicians from the Hannover area to bring fresh blood and enthusiasm into the band and most important to bring back more metal into ROUGH SILK's sound again.

The CD was produced by Ferdy Doernberg at the Droehnwerk Studios in Bad Nenndorf, Germany, with the exception of the track "A Song For Hilmer", which was written and recorded in Los Angeles one day after Doernberg received news that original ROUGH SILK guitarist, Hilmer Staacke, passed away.

Doernberg stated about the track "A Song For Hilmer", "The last song on the album is dedicated to Hilmer Staacke, the former guitar player of ROUGH SILK, and was written, performed and recorded on May 26, 2006 in the dressing room of Ralph Freud's Theatre in Los Angeles, California one day after I got the news that Hilmer had died the day before. Two friends of mine, Roy Z [HALFORD, BRUCE DICKINSON, JUDAS PRIEST] and Warren DeMartini [RATT] helped me recording it right away on an old piano in the dressing room. The piano was a little out of tune, I made a few mistakes and if you listen carefully you can hear the Uli Jon Roth soundcheck in the background, but we kept it the way it was because it's authentic. It wouldn't be the same if we would recut it in the studio. We combined it with a guitar solo performed by Hilmer Staacke himself in 1995 so you have the chance to listen to a great guitar player one more time."
