Rooted in the hard rock of the late 70âs, they combine the heavy, epic sound of the then popular Rockmonster and the progressive and complex song arrangements of contemporary art rock bands.

Details:
The production:
As was the case with their past albums, aiming at perfection
stands in the center of the production of their newest CD
âColors of beingâ. The studio of their first choice was the Disciplesâ
very own Eagle Records Studio. The songs received
the finishing touch from the hands of mastering guru Glenn
Miller in his Greenwood Studios.

The texts:
Not incidental to the music, but carefully woven, inspired by
concern for human issues. Nevertheless, the underlying tone
is refreshing and optimistic. The message that comes across
is one of joy and vitality.

The band:
Throughout their 17-year history, the Disciples never were an
after hours combo. The band is not a project, itâs an attitude,
a passion to which all members dedicate a majority of their
spare time. They are well on their path and should large success
cross this path in the near future, they will also tackle
this hurdle.
Matthias Schranz (vocals, guitar). Two musical personalities
reside in his body. He works full-time as classical cellist
and teaches at the Academy of Music in Berne. In contrast,
the band is his outlet for surplus energy. He works the guitar
strings roughly and his strong and voluminous voice is a guarantee
for goose bumps.
Andreas Siegenthaler (Hammond organ, piano, keyboards,
vocals). He thrives on broadly bubbling hammond sounds and
delicate piano tunes and is at least as exuberant as the horn
of his leslie amp.
Jan Zinsel (bass, vocals) is the man in the background. His
bass runs have a continuing effect on the stomach pit. His
lyrics stimulate the activity of the brainwaves.
Philippe Marti (drums, percussion, vocals). He is a professor
of physics, 28 years of age and the junior of the band. His
fresh approach and innate feeling for rhythm provide for the
tight and groovy beat. The band serves him well as a playground
for experiments in the field of gravity.

The crew:
Lukas Loosli is responsible for the buttons, faders and other
things on the mixing console, of which musicians donât have
a clue. May the clear sound always be with him.
Matthias Luethi is the manager, graphic designer and critical
voice of the band.
