First there was Howlin’ Wolf, then Jimi Hendrix, now the world has Lord Bishop!” – and with “Tear Down The Empire” he presents his best work to date. For the production, Lord Bishop Rocks has brought two heavyweight electric guitar experts on board: Together with the Godfather of Grunge Jack Endino (Nirvana, Soundgarden and others) and the German producer insider tip Andy Schmidt (Disillusion, among others), an album has been created that translates the blues, punk and hard rock spirit of the American-German band into a timeless, raw and energetic sound. in front of which frontman Lord Bishop’s sparkling charisma comes into its own better than ever before. In nearly three decades of thousands of performances around the globe, Lord Bishop Rocks has become an institution. In the veins of the 2 meter giant from the Bronx flows pure rock’n’roll. Just like his appearance, Lord Bishop’s appearance on stage is big, powerful, inimitable, determined and simply unforgettable. “Wow, it was like watching Jimi Hendrix on steroids. Great and powerful live show and a one of kind performer” (Lemmy Kilmister / Motörhead); “Blues is his soul, and I heard the ghosts of Howlin Wolf when he sang. Lord Bishop is an authentic bloke” (Eric Burdon / The Animals);” If James Brown and Jimi Hendrix had a love child, he would be Lord Bishop. Truly outstanding, great songs, cool guitar and funky riffs. It was a pleasure to have him support my tour” (Ian Paice / drummer of Deep Purple). Lord Bishop began his career with a move to wild post-reunification East Germany. Straight ahead from his American homeland into the unknown, biting through against all adverse circumstances was literally in his cradle anyway. It was in Dresden that he began his musical mission to carry handmade rock around the world and into the next millennium.
