21 Octayne Into The Open Rocío Echávarri (Deuzzy) / Translation: Zaravasty Luna Without a doubt the musician restlessness leads them to keep on moving instead of staying in a specific style, they search for a variety of musical perspectives. As an example, we found 21 Octayne. Everything started in 2010 when Marco Wried (Axxis) and Alex Landenburg (Rhapsody) joined forces with Andrew “The Bullet” Lauer (Paul Gilbert) y Hagen Grohe (The Joe Perry Project). With the fusion of their styles and individual tastes the achieved an excellent blending, we could found Rock/Pop even Heavy Rock and that’s how 21 Octayne was born, “a true representation of musical diversity, far away from clichés and restrictions”. After some time, between recordings and tours with their respective bands, they present us their debut album: Into The Open. The time has come to open our ears and listen this new band with experienced musicians. We are going to start with She’s Killing Me, a good Hard Rock song in which we enjoy Hagen Grohe’s intense voice. Meanwhile we notice the excellent combination between the musicians; they get an enjoyable song and, I may say, could wake up the old rockers nostalgia. 24
