Berlin
Tough Shit
Having been friends for several years and gathering experience in bands like Battle Royale, Disrespect, Shortage and Lifeforce, for some local scenesters the time was right to bring the violence back to the dancefloor. And what better way to do this without getting hurt themselves than to form a band. They started jamming in 2003, with the aim of playing straight up, traditional hardcore with a progressive shape and the taste of major brutality.
After releasing a first demo in 2004, Final Prayer played Shows all around Europe with bands like Terror, Comeback Kid, Champion, Heaven Shall Burn, Walls Of Jericho, Cataract, Sworn Enemy and many others.
In September 2004 the band got back to studio to edit their songs for the Final Prayer / Crisis Never Ends split CD, which was released in December 2005 on Punchline Productions.
The band enterd the famous Kohlekeller Studios, home of bands like Creamtory, Under Siege, The Blackout Argument, A Traitor Like Judas or Six Reasons to Kill to record their debut album entitled “RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW” for Let it Burn Records in January 2006.
The result is one of the most powerful and toughest records of the year. Plain, pure and brutal hardcore with socio-political message, a combination hardly known these days. RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW will erase all your doubts that a hardcore-band from Berlin would not be able to play in one league with Born From Pain, Terror and Hatebreed.
The release of RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW was followed by extensive touring with COMEBACK KID, AWOKEN, HATEBREED and several festival apperances such as the legendary WITH FULL FORCE FESTIVAL in 2007. Either way the bands´ approach towards their live performances has always stayed the same: 200% Hardcore energy, no matter what…!
2008 brought a new signing and a new record. FINAL PRAYER released their 2nd album on GSR Music, the biggest European record label for hardcore music. ticking to their roots while at the same time improving every nuance of their sound, was just the vision they set out to capture. As guitar player Flo explains: “We simply tried to make every fast part faster, every breakdown heavier, every sing-along catchier, without loosing sight of what Final Prayer is all about - plain, pure and brutal hardcore with a strong socio-political message.”
