ARMIN SABOL
BACK IN BLUE

Armin Sabol is an old stager in the music business. In 1977 he founded the hard rock band Shiva together with Mat Sinner (SINNER, PRIMAL FEAR). In 1981 Armin met the still unknown singer Peter Schilling. Together they developed a sound that would change the pop world. The debut album "Fehler im System" was released at the end of 1982, and the first single "Major Tom" stormed the top of the charts in Germany. Other countries followed. Even in the USA the song’s English version stormed onto #14 of the Billboard Hot 100. It even cracked the #1 position in the US dance charts. This resulted in four gold records from Germany, Austria and Canada (single and album) as well as countless TV-appearances. While the second album "120 Grad" (“Things To Come”) together with the single "Terra Titanic" could not keep up to the success of the first album, 1986 the team split and Armin went separate ways. As a studio musician for acts such as Hazel'O'Connor, Eric Burdon or Thomas D. Armin Sabol got booked for performances on several albums and singles of the German mega-act Die Fantastischen Vier. Armin also kept on working as a producer for bands like Rage, Sinner or Pyracanda. In addition to his participation in the German party band Lollies, known for their hit single "Wahnsinn, Hölle, Hölle" he has also produced a lot of instrumental production music for TV and advertising purposes. E.g. for productions such as the Oprah Winfrey Show, The Mentalist, Storage Wars, Auction Hunters or the Netflix series The Purge.
