Rebellion

Rebellion is a German power-metal band. It was formed when guitarist Uwe Lulis left Grave Digger, taking ex-Grave Digger bassist Tomi Göttlich with him. Their first album was a concept album about William Shakespeare's work Macbeth, and included spoken passages with members of the band and other people as the story's characters. The second album involved more standard heavy-metal lyrics – about motorcycles, metal, war, etc. – and the music was somewhat rougher. In 2005 they released the first part of what is intended to be a trilogy about the Vikings and Norse mythology. In the beginning of 2007 they released their second part in the trilogy about the vikings. It was titled "Miklagard" and was the band's most successful album so far. The third part, and last part of the trilogy, was first supposed to be released in 2008 but was later announced as postponed to early 2009. In October, 2008, the guitarist Uwe Lulis had a bad motorcycle crash, he broke his right leg. Because of this, the 5th studio album got postponed yet again, and is slated to be released on July, 24th. Ex-drummer Randy Black is now playing in Primal Fear. Ex-guitarist Björn Eilen is now playing in Silver Maiden and The Talkies.
