Drummer and rock legend Bodo Schopf (Michael Schenker Group, The Sweet, Falco, Udo Lindenberg,… ) met singer David Readman (Pink Cream 69, Voodoo Circle, Almanac, Tank,… ) on a tour in 2011.
In 2014 he played some of his latest compositions to the Englishman and immediately sparked the Readman fire, who was so enthusiastic about the songs that he absolutely wanted to sing them. That was the birth of PENDULUM OF FORTUNE!
In October 2017 the first result of this collaboration was the album “SEARCHING FOR THE GOD INSIDE”. The album received very good reviews in all relevant rock magazines, so that the next steps were aimed at. One of them was to find a second guitarist – Matze Erhard – to give the sound more pressure live.
The new album will be released by EL PUERTO RECORDS on 08 March 2019. It was mixed by Bodo Schopf in his studio in Sardinia. Mastered by Sven “Samson” Geiger in his Neckarklangwerk studio in Stuttgart. Samson is known for his work for the Scorpions, Motörhead, Mothers Finest, Lake, Eloy, Saxon, UFO, Molly Hatchet… to name but a few.
Bodo Schopf says: “We are really happy to have found a label in El Puerto Records that still lives and loves music the way we do. Unfortunately, this is no longer a matter of course today, as only business cases balance sheets, follower numbers and clicks in social networks are in the foreground. I think we all – band and label – form a family here with the declared goal of making our music accessible to music fans. What becomes of it is up to you out there. See you on Tour 2019. Bodo Schopf”
