Following their ultimate and extremely successful coup, THE BLACK PATH, which arrived at the stores in early 2008, Munich's EMIL BULLS are ready to continue on their chosen path with their latest album, PHOENIX.

With more than 200 performances in 2008, among them the prestigious Rock am Ring festival, a tour alongside the SYSTEM OF A DOWN project, SCARS ON BROADWAY, a top 60 chart position for THE BLACK PATH and any number of delighted fans, the band found themselves surfing on a wave of success through their native country and beyond. Their reputation as an unusually intense live act spilled to Scandinavia, Slovenia and France, where the Bulls left exhausted but happy fans in their wake.

They set themselves no limits, there were no discussions about the justification of a ballad such as "I DON'T BELONG HERE" or super-tough numbers such as "HERE COMES THE FIRE". And why should there have been? Looking back at their long and successful career, EMIL BULLS have certainly found their own style and can do whatever they please, as long as people love music as much as they do. At the end of the day, their numbers still sound unmistakably like EMIL BULLS. Their songs have to be emotional, touching and intense – a mechanical, rational approach would be unthinkable.

Listen to their album and judge for yourselves – PHOENIX will grab you, shake you up and haunt you if you let it, that much is for sure.
