Still Awake

Still Awake is a Melodic Metal band from Munich, Germany that combines progressive guitar riffs and juicy Heavy Metal parts with a strong female voice. Their musical and cultural diversity is reflected by their style - no song is either hard or soft, but they span a wide spectrum to which the audience may dance, cry and bang their heads. Albert and Alex played in another band before Still Awake was formed. They met Timea on the Metal Meets Classic 2013 festival in Munich, Germany. Two years later the band of Alex and Albert split up, but they wanted to continue making music together and invited Timea who also just departed from her band and was happy to join them for some jam sessions. They all soon realised that they musically complement each other and after a few songs were written and recorded at Albert Studios, they played their first concert on his birthday without a bass player. Albert who was already helping out at the Servus Transilvania 2016, managed to get a slot at the festival for the band, which was still missing a name and bassist. Benni was one of the few bassists who was ready and able to learn the whole set of the band and quickly won over their hearts. In the very long night leading to the day when they had to send the final documents to the festival’s organisation, they discussed possible band names for many hours and finally settled on Still Awake.
