this is exhaust - welcome to the rock!

Four in one - and that's Exhaust! We have been rocking since 1981 and have currently produced 5 CD-albums. You can find our songs worldwide on about 50 web portals, of course on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, TikTok, Tidal, Deezer, Napster & Co and even in a Tesla.

The CDs are available in our webshop. And if you're also interested in the thoughts behind the songs or just want to sing along to the fullest, you can click through our albums and browse through the details. Have fun and welcome to our little Exhaust universe!

(2024) With our new album "Havoc On The Sea," we dive deep into the wild, untamed expanses of the ocean. The songs tell stories of storms, battles, and the relentless drive to conquer the elements. Tales of life aboard ships, from pirates to mythical discoveries, give each track an epic dimension. 

The opener, "1717 - Pirate Paradise," thrusts you into the Golden Age of Piracy, bringing the drama of a raid under the black skull-and-crossbones flag directly to your ears. The album unfolds in a captivating tapestry of riffs and melodies that embody the untamed force of the sea. 

The grand finale, "Fate Of Atlantis," is an epic futuristic vision where divers discover the lost city of Atlantis. Here, myth and reality merge in an unforgettable musical journey.

(2023) Our mini-CD "IMPERIAL TRANS-ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION", takes you on an epic journey through the icy expanses of the Antarctic. Inspired by the heroic "Endurance Expedition", the four songs tell gripping stories of determination, the fight for survival and unshakeable human strength. 

"Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition" is a tribute to the courage and determination of the pioneers, captured in a sonic journey that will enchant you with its intensity and mesmerising narrative. We are honoured to celebrate and share this incredible milestone of human perseverance through our music.

(2020) Let the power kick in with our first song LAUNCHING OVERDRIVE: The name is program. In the tradition of its forerunners, the third CD album shows a new variation of the cover and plays, also in terms of the content of the songs, with fire! 

Whether it comes out of the exhaust pipe (SOUND BARRIER, DAYTONA RED LINE), burns eternally for friendship (FLAME FOR ETERNITY) or solidifies as lava after a volcanic eruption (VOLCANO SIGH), the tension between lyrics and melodies makes every song an experience. Because there are many things hidden in the sound carpet, there is always something new to discover. The production was fun and that's what you can hear!

(2018) INSURRECTION and FREEDOM CLIMBER show the direction for the album: straight melodic rock with hard guitars and great keyboard compositions. 

The second concept album has snow and ice as its theme, which is why some of the lyrics are based on this theme - just like FROZEN ISLAND or VIKINGS NIGHT. 

There is a lot to discover, the arrangements are full of melodies and creative ideas, but at the same time transparent and powerful. And if you think you know the songs, you should listen to them again under your headphones! Our recommendation: BREAKFAST AT 5 AM

(2015) Our first cd-album: After a few years of band history, we have redesigned our songs from the eighties in the modern sound of today. The sound unites the modern and the old times and with doing so, unmistakable melodies and sounds emerge. In the songs, you can feel the rocky connection to the earth - we're still reaching out for the guitar strings ourselves. 

Tips on what to play: The hard rock number INTERCEPTOR 2.0 (version 1.0 was already a small hit as a single), BURNING LIGHT for rock with orchestral elements and the rock hit of the album THOUGHTS OF TODAY.

CD album No. 5 HAVOC ON THE SEA is finally online! After one week we already have 4,365 plays on Spotify alone, which of course makes us very proud! The CD album is currently still in production and will then bring the three additional new songs MONSTERS OF THE DEEP, TURN ME ON (Flag and the Wind) and KRAKEN ATTACK (the song for the cover). The newly mastered songs AGENTS OF DESTINY and CENTER OF THE DAWN are also included as bonus tracks - it's worth listening and comparing! HAVOC ON THE SEA will be available in mid-December, in time for Christmas.

UPDATE: In the projections for October 2024 we now have a total of over 6.3 million plays on the online portals! A BIG thank you to our loyal fans!

Our CD (with the unpronounceable name for Germans) IMPERIAL TRANS-ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION really took off in English-speaking countries from the end of 2023. USA, UK, Brazil, Canada, Mexico and Australia, Japan & India in the East have the most new plays.

EXHAUST on the radio | In February 2019 we were with Axel Niermann in the studio of Mikro Minden. The result is a nice 1-std. feature, which was broadcast on Radio Westfalica. read more

We are still really impressed by how many people we reach worldwide. Our fan base is growing and we are very happy that you like our songs! The title of the next CD has already been decided: RIOT IN THE JUNGLE. The opener is already finished, the other ideas are currently being sorted out...

Cheers, bye for now & keep it heavy, keep it hard!
