Many times Joachim Witt has reinvented himself, always staying on the nerve of the times of authoritative German music history. He never shied away from political and social criticism. Timeless are his hits "Der Goldene Reiter", which describes the pressure to perform and the antisocial aspect of capitalism, including his own failure, as well as the legendary duet with Peter Heppner on the song "Die Flut"-a statement about striving for a better life, or for a better world at all.
16 albums Witt has released since 1980. Starting with Silberblick and the single "Der Goldene Reiter" (Gold Status), through the 1998 comeback success album Bayreuth I (Gold Status), whose single "Die Flut" even went platinum, to DOM in 2012 with the single "Gloria" and the highly controversial music video for it.
Witt built a particularly close connection with his fans via crowdfunding for his last two albums
I and
Throne. The same principle is now being applied again to "Rübezahl", the exceptional artist's new work. "Rübezahl", the album, elegiac, wistful, angry and full of longing, describes in new facets Witt's recurring themes that are particularly close to his heart. In cooperation with the producer and frontman of Lord Of The Lost, Chris Harms, the most unique album since "Bayreuth 1" and "DOM" has been created. Moving naturalistic images prove here once again Joachim Witt's extraordinary ability to change without losing his own original style.
Rübezahl is moody, temperamental, rigorous, proud, friend as well as foe and moves up like a musical thunderstorm!
And so Joachim Witt, with new songs and classics in the luggage 2018 also gives again 12 concerts throughout Germany. Rübezahl" will be released on Joachim Witt's own label Ventil in cooperation with Believe/Soulfood.
