Yes, we will finish of this year by finally revealing the person who will be producing our highly acclaimed brand new album

Man, are we proud to introduce to you the one and only:


MARKUS TESKE



Markus is known for his brilliant production work for a.o. Vanden Plas (8 studio albums, 1 live album!), Symphony X, Saga, Mob Rules, Threshold, Deadsoul Tribe, Firewind, Spock’s Beard, Dominici, U.D.O. and The New Roses.

But there is more exciting news: This musical genius will not only make the new August Life album sound excellent by producing it, but Markus will also play, next to René, keyboards on the album!

 
 


08-12-2024

As promised last week we will now introduce to you the singers to perform next to Bryan on the brand new album.


An absolutely incredible cast of female talents….
Please welcome these four absolute vocal high end performers, all in their own respect:

Annemarijn Ferweda (ex-Absolutely Floyd)
Joanna Krystle Sarijoen (Absolutely Floyd
)
Priscilla Janssen (Absolutely Floyd)
Liesbeth Cordia (Ylisiaex-Annatar
, Eve's Fall).

However, next to these wonderful ladies, we have also some… ehh… very surprising male guest vocal contributions too… incredible too of course… yet in a slightly different respect…

Harry Den Hartog, our brilliant bass player is again on the low end but this time using his vocal chords, and… can you recognize the guy in the little video here?
 

 


01-12-2024

 

After we have already introduced to you the solid foundation for the brand new album to come for August Life, Richard van Leeuwen and Harry Den Hartog, it is now time to introduce to you our first keyboard player!

So guys and galls, give a warm welcome to one of the best players around, the one and only:


RENE KROON


 

René has a rich history in music and is known for his participation in many bands and project like Sun Caged,

The Barstool Philosophers, The Phoenix Project (with John Mac Macaluso) and many more.


René already participated on our mini album THE BROKEN HOURGLASS on the last song NEVERMORE were we were blown away by his wonderful piano playing next to the enchanting cello work of Jacqueline Hamelink. René is already part of the live band too…

Next to be introduced will be the singers to perform next to Bryan on the album.

Can you guess?

 

 

 

18-11-2024

After we introduced Richard last week as the drummer it is now time to introduce to you our dedicated bass player for the new AUGUST LIFE album..…

So, peeps, give a warm welcome to one of the finest bass players in the field, the one and only:

 

HARRY DEN HARTOG

 

 

Harry already participated on our debut album NEW ETERNITY on 2 songs (Draw the line and Love/New life) and man were we impressed by this guy. Especially the bass solo before the guitar solo in Love/New life is more than worth to give a (new) listen…

 

Gert was already made aware of Harry’s talents because of their mutual participation for FRIENDS OF ROCK and Gert and Bryan were both convinced, especially after Harry’s participation on NEW ETERNITY, Harry needed to be the bass player to perform next to Richard’s excellent drum work on the new album.

 

 

 

11-11-2024

Yesss, as you might know AUGUST LIFE is recording a brand new album right now.......

On this Autumn Sunday we thought it to be a great idea to start introducing the new line up for this album...

As a first we would like to introduce to you our drummer extraordinaire:

RICHARD VAN LEEUWEN 

 

 

Richard is known for his brilliant work for Within Temptation, Rebelstar, Threnody and of course is also part of Savatar (Savatage tribute) and Absolutely Floyd (Pink Floyd tribute).

The drums were recorded and engineered by none other than the amazing Jack Nobelen!

 

 

 

OLD NEWS!
