Germany's Rebellious Spirit have released a first video teaser for their second album, Obsession, scheduled for release on September 19th in Germany, September 22nd in Europe, and September 30th in North America.

Rebellious Spirit, who caused a stir on the scene last year with their debut Gamble Shot, presenti themselves as even more confident and accomplished on Obsession. The four musicians - Jannik Fischer (vocals, guitars), his brother Jens (bass), Silvio Bizer (drums) and Corvin Domhardt (guitar) - have recorded twelve new tracks, a full dozen haunting rock numbers which document one thing first and foremost: this quartet has evolved to an amazing degree.

“The events of recent years, the production of our debut album Gamble Shot, the shows, the first tour with Axel Rudi Pell, all those things have helped us a great deal,” explains vocalist Jannik Fischer.

Obsession sees Rebellious Spirit  take the logical second step, going even further in terms of toughness and dynamism. “You’ve got to bear in mind that Jannik was just 15 and I was 18 when we recorded the first demos for Gamble Shot,” Jens Fischer recalls. “Now, three years later, we’re all even better and more accomplished on our instruments, and Jannik’s voice in particular has audibly matured, which of course benefits the new material enormously.”

Rebellious Spirit will support Axel Rudi Pell on his upcoming tour, scheduled to start on September 19th, the German release date of Obsession.

Jannik Fischer: “For us it was a dream come true to be booked for the first part of the Pell tour. That we will get this opportunity again is a real gift. We look forward to the concerts and to seeing our fans again.”
