Jaded Heart

47 Duisburg

Jaded Heart was formed in 1994 in Duisburg, Germany and became a German/Swedish Melodic Metal/Hard Rock band when Jaded Heart were joined by Swedish singer Johan Fahlberg in 2005.
The first album with Johan, “Helluva Time,” turned out to be a great success. It features the band’s version of “Paid My Dues,” which was originally performed by Anastacia. The album was released on Frontiers Records and became a milestone in Jaded Heart’s history. Swedish guitarist Peter Östros joined the band in 2006. They recorded two more albums with this lineup: “Sinister Mind” in 2007 and “Perfect Insanity” in 2009.

Their critically acclaimed 10th album, “Common Destiny,” was released in spring 2012, followed by extensive touring, including touring in Japan in 2010 and 2013.

In 2014 the band recruited their friends Masahiro Eto on guitar and Bodo Stricker on drums. After a successful European tour with Masterplan, Jaded Heart released their 11th full-length album, “Fight The System,” in September, followed by the Wacken Roadshows in Europe.

In spring 2016, the band signed a new record deal with Massacre Records and returned with their 12th full-length album, “Guilty By Design.” This album features their live hymn “No Reason” and up-tempo headbangers like “Godforsaken.”

The album, “Devil’s Gift,” was released on March 30, 2018, and reached the top 10 of the German Metal Charts. The follow-up album, “Stand Your Ground,” was released worldwide on November 27, 2020, via Massacre Records.

Masa Eto switched to a background team member role due to personal reasons. The new album, “Heart Attack,” was released on October 14, 2022, and includes two singles: “Heart Attack” and “Blood Red Skies.” Their song “Heart Attack” was co-written by Rupert Keplinger (Eisbrecher, Lord of the Lost, and many more).
