Biography

Dreamtide is a German band formed in Hanover in 2000 by long time Fair Warning guitarrist, songwriter and maidofallwork Helge Engelke. The current line-up includes long time members Senkbeil, Luederwaldt and Engelke alongside newbies Lars Lehmann (from works with UFO to Uli Roth, everything in between and beyond) plus drummer Horst Guntram Schlag (who somehow managed to lead a hidden life up to now). “DRAMA DUST DREAM“, the fourth studio album, to be released in early summer 2022 is a 12 or 17 (EP version) track effort of nothing less than saving rock music's hide from programmed instruments, careless production, micro genres, quantised beats and oblivion. Dreamtide's goal did not change over the years. Music committed to songs in a tradition of rock music which has it's roots in the early seventies or late sixties. The bands and records Helge was part of, among others Zeno and Fair Warning, helped shaping what became commonly known as “melodic rock” throughout the 80s and 90s. For a very short period of time that was an appropriate name, but it soon became a term often misused for cheesy, shallow, candy sweet crap and musical mischief. In contemporary politics you'd say: “We dissociate ourselves unambiguously from these actions” Or in less complicated words: Dreamtide are here to set things straight, you get the real McCoy, which in German is the real Jacob, curious what that will be in Japanese.
