Militant Mother

Out of the Rock and Metal stronghold of Hannover arises a band that  sets their standards through charismatic vocals, polished, authenticated  songwriting, razorsharp solos and heavy riffs.
NIKKI PUPPET were formed in autumn 2003 by Nicky Gronewold and  Christos Mamalitsidis, Nicky is basically the name generator of the  band. Since autumn 2004 is the present line up with bass player Anke  Sobek and Florentin Adolf on the drums complete. Now, following their  highly praised debut album „Puppet on a string“, arrives their second  album „Militant Mother“ and as with „Puppet on a string“ was produced in  the ARENA 20 Recording-Studio, Hannover by non other than Herman Frank,  long time producer and successful guitarist with bands such as Victory  and Accept.
The new album „Militant Mother“ entices with 11 crisp, stick in the  head compositions, where the bridge has been skilfully built between  traditional Heavy Rock and modern Metal.
Their musical repertoire ranges from up-tempo numbers such as the  opener „Lost in Time“ or „Open up your mind“ to Heavy Rock songs such as  „Militant Mother“, the rocking punk styled „Paralized“ through to the  balladic „Turning in Circles“ or the rockin’ steam engine version of  Billy Joel´s legendary song „We didn´t start the fire“, that still today  is topically relevant.
Through the productive, symbiotic partnership between producer Herman  Frank and NIKKI PUPPET the band’s own individual style has been able to  develop and is now shown to the fullest.
