Description

The band was formed in 1980 by Schmiedl and Mentes, both 14 years old at the time. They named themselves after a Led Zeppelin song when they saw a bootleg video taped from Austrian TV. By 1982, they were playing in front of crowds of 1200 at times, and they recorded their first demo in 1983, heavily influenced by Priest, Maiden, and Motorhead. The demo was summarily rejected by record labels. Nonetheless, they recorded another, thrashier demo in 1985. This was also rejected – in fact, on one day in 1985, they were the only band out of seven not to receive state sanctioning, which would have allowed them to play larger concerts and receive financial support. In 1986-87, both Schmiedl and Mentes served in the army, putting the band on hold. Upon their return, they started gigging again, and recorded a 7“ single in Austria in September, 1988. It was not released, but they debuted on national TV on October 15th, 1988. Then, they opened for Stormwitch on 7 Hungarian tour dates between October 31st and November 9th, drawing 10000 metalheads a night. In 1989 they were signed to Proton records and the first album ‘Ugass Kutya!’ was released on vinyl and cassette in 1990. In 2005 they released their ninth studio album to date and its good to see that they still has all the great ingredients that made it such a good band to begin with. ‘Se Nap Se Hold’ still mixes thrash and heavy metal and it shows that Moby Dick have no plans to slow down
