FELSKINN was
originally formed by Andy Portmann in
2005. The self titeled debut album was recorded with guest musicians and
released in March 2006. The first Song on the Album „170105“ was later
re-recorded by Kai
Hansen and appeared as „Built A World“ on
the 2014 Release „Empire Of The
Undead“ by GAMMA RAY and
reached the charts at #13 in Germany. The band
played numerous shows and festivals. In April 2007 the 2nd album „Listen!“ was
released, followed again by intensive touring. Due to the „famous“ musical
differences the band disbanded in 2008.
Portmann started
a live project with Mandy
Meyer (UNISONIC, KROKUS, GOTTHARD), playing
songs from their previous bands. In 2010 Portmann formed
the FELSKINN follow up
band DOWNLOAD and
started working on the album „Eleven Stages“,
released in April 2014. The live band included the current FELSKINN line up
with a different drummer.
While
working on the next album „Mind Over
Matter“, Portmann decided
to bring back the band name FELSKINN.
