The Name
Until 2023 Space Schädel was known as Space Shuttle. For a long time the urge was felt to change the name and take the sound to a new level. Space Schädel reflects the use of both German and English Vocals. Schädel is german for skull. The band name resembles a kind of artifact that’s hidden in the deep fields of the universe. A kind of trophy, that holds the meaning of live within. But also we all have a Schädel with a lot of Space that can be travelled and filled with meaning. On May 1st 2024 the new album of Space Schädel called Opus Schädel 1 will be released on the label mono-Ton records.

The band
Space Schädel is a 4piece from Leipzig, Germany consisting of Guitar, Keyboard, Bass, Drums and Vocals. Their special mix of different genres creates intense soundscapes that take on different forms from concert to concert. Catchy melodies fuse with jazz influenced improvisation parts and strong walls of sound. Or to put it another way: Spacy spicy Indie Noise Metal Punk Pop with a certain amount of improvisation and shredding morale.
The virtuosity of the individual band members is particularly outstanding. Many of the songs offer opportunities to showcase the musicians solo skills. At times one feels reminded of bands like Yes, King Crimson, Van Halen and other groups that play a good amount of notes BUT Space Schädel never loses track of the musical arc of suspense. Sometimes it even feels like being at an 80s pop concert or a 70s era Rolling Stones situation, just to find yourself in the middle of a storm of noise in the next moment, that puts everything that happened before in the shade.
Space Schädel is about fun and dedication to the possibilities of music. Serious playing in a playful manner. The lyrics are about journeys on emotional, physical, mental and spiritual levels. And as the time went by also political messages came to light.
