| Presskit Official Promo Shot «Maiden’s Baroque Chamber on Fire« With their second album OUT OF FIRE (2016), WICKED PLAN has revealed its musical passion: a blend of Heavy Metal and Classical elements with strong melodies and high intensity. On their 3rd album LAND ON FIRE (2019), the band reinforces its trademark of blending 80ies Hard’n Heavy/Power Metal with Baroque music. For fans of Iron Maiden, Dio, Judas Priest, Battle Beast, Stratovarius and Yngwie Malmsteen. WICKED PLAN About Natali and Dan established WICKED PLAN in 2012 with the clear vision to form of a high-caliber Melodic Metal band. The first seeds were sown already in 2008, but it needed a couple of changes in the line-up until the whole band was ready to bring the demanding songs to life. With their second album “Out of Fire” (2016) the band has revealed its musical passion: a blend of Heavy Metal and Classical elements with strong melodies and high intensity. In 2016 WICKED PLAN was on the “get WICKED” tour to promote the OUT OF FIRE album. Among other things they toured for 10 days in south-east Europe through Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Serbia and Bulgaria. For the official music video „Wicked Plan“ the band managed to engage the wild „Monsters of Metal“ for a common headbanging in the fantastic woods of Fribourg. In 2017 Dan started working on new songs for the LAND ON FIRE album, which was then recorded from 2017 until 2018, supported and coached by Ralf Scheepers (PRIMAL FEAR). The new songs have even more drive, and the band is totally motivated to perform them on stage! The LAND ON FIRE album is released under STF-Records (Germany) on November 29, 2019. Again the official video ICARUS features the Monsters of Metal – you don’t want miss this! |

| Maiden’s Baroque Chamber on fire or: «(Who cares) how we met and founded WICKED PLAN?!» Natali and Dan met in summer 1995 in Berne/Switzerland by chance, when Natali’s sister was looking for a Rock guitar teacher and… Dan was giving guitar lessons! Lucky girl m/ A couple of months later Natali and Dan found out that both love 80ies Hard’n Heavy sound. At that time, Dan lead his Hard Rock band „Double 0 Zero“ as guitarist and song writer. While Natali was writing and recording her own music too, which was kind of a thrasy underground Metal with spooky organs and hard rocking drums 🙂 So what lies closer at hand than to join forces!? Dan and Natali decided to move together musically – and a couple of month later also in private live. With that the foundation was laid for WICKED PLAN. Natali was already heavily influenced by Iron Maiden and singers like Bruce Dickinson, Ronnie James Dio and Rob Halford. She also brought in her strong interest in phantasy stories… now you know why so many WICKED PLAN songs deal with dragons, kings and wizards! 🙂 Dan on the other hand was – beside 80ies Hard’n Heavy – more into Classical and Oriental music. He contributed riffs in an early Megadeth, Metallica and Dokken style, combined with Yngwie Malmsteen/George Lynch influenced soloing. In 2015, after the OUT OF FIRE album, Dan started to write first Orchestral parts for each song (the band had no rhythm guitar player for the gigs) and with that, the final style element of WICKED PLAN came into play: the Orchestra. So WICKED PLAN’s style evolved over time to an extraordinary mix of 80ies Hard’n Heavy riffs and shredding, with truly powerful vocals and strong Baroque/Neoclassical melodies. We provided this summary for those of you interested in WICKED PLAN’s story and music. With rocky wishes m/ Natali & Dan “…thrilling voice! The distinctive element of the WICKED PLAN sound is the voice (once again deep bowing in the direction of the singer), but the guys on the other instruments deliver a truly splendid performance too!” “An energetic mixture of artfully composed, neoclassical heavy metal tracks with a strong shot of powerful 80s hardrock.» “A band needs a great singer! Exactly! And Wicked Plan definitely has one. Frontwoman Natali Keller impressed me from the first note!…” |
