For those not in the know, while the German classic rock band PILEDRIVER gave an impressive statement of their decades-long live presence with the release of the opulent Live CD / Blu-ray / DVD box set Live In Europe from 2023, the band now celebrate their 30th anniversary with their new album FIRST NATIONS ROCK, seven years after the release of their last studio album ROCKWALL.

During the recording of their fifth album, band founders Michael Sommerhoff and Peter Wagner welcomed three new additions to the PILEDRIVER lineup: keyboardist Tom Frerich, bassist Jens Heisterhagen, and drummer Dirk Sengotta.

Musically, the 14 new songs are truly a force to be reckoned with. PILEDRIVER demonstrate an impressive joy of playing throughout the entire recording, sure to delight any classic hard rock fan.

In short, Stefan Kaufmann as producer, alongside Michael Sommerhoff, and Martin Mattes Pfeiffer, who was responsible for the mix and mastering, together ensure an excellently balanced, powerful, yet never overpowering, sound that such an album must have.
