Founded back in 2015, rekkorder can easily be described as one of those rare phenomena of a German rockoutfit that manages to gain international recognition early on. With their debut album Breaking Silencerecorded and released to critical acclaim in 2016 and both national and international shows successfully playedsoon after, there was no doubt that masterminds Nina Lucia Medina Muñoz (vocals) and Bernd Bloedorn(guitar) had their trajectory neatly planned from the get-go. Enlisting Grammy contributor Scott Hull atMasterdisk in New York as mastering engineer for Breaking Silence might have seemed like an unusual choicefor an independent, power-driven heavy/alternative band with one foot firmly in metal, but in light ofrekkorder’s trademark sound it made perfect sense: Known for his contributions to albums by PJ Harvey, SinéadO’Connor, Nelly Furtado, Garbage and Panic! At The Disco, the trans-atlantic collaborator had the well-versedhand required to balance native Colombian singer/shouter Nina's vastly expressive vocal range against thatdriving instrumental force.
