Pretty Maids

Pretty Maids, Denmark's cult hard rock sensation, are officially working on a new studio album, due out in 2027. The upcoming record will be the band's first new studio album since 2019, when "Undress Your Madness" came out. With the…

Italian label Frontiers Music Srl. from Naples celebrated its 30th anniversary a few days ago. To mark the occasion, the top guys at the label decided to throw a party of their own, among other things by asking Scottish vocal legend Robin…

"Listening to this document, it's a genuine revelation, especially if you haven't spun the "Future World" album in a long while (ten or fifteen years or more), how this album is still such a compositionally strong and polished manifesto of…

"Frankly, and no beating around the bush: there's not a single artistic stumble on this album. An excellent new studio effort from an incredibly seasoned and experienced band."

"»Second Coming« is yet another album tailor-made for fans of Pretty Maids, Eclipse and W.E.T., while also aiming at the wider crowd of melodic-but-bristling hard rock lovers."

location: Balingen / Messegelände / Germany date: 14.07.2018 Last day! Two bands fewer on the bill than the day before. Kickoff at half past eleven. Yep. The lineup keeps shrinking. Year after year. More and more, and the organizer isn't…

With the Pretty Maids and Hexx sets, the most interesting part of the festival's third-day program was effectively over. For plenty of people, Pretty Maids played the headliner role, and that was before Powerwolf even showed up.

Location: Seebronn / Festivalgelände / Germany Date: 29.07.2017 So. The second day of this year's Rock of Ages festival put nine acts on the stage, and the program was kicked off at half past eleven by German heavy/hard…

So. The second day of this year's Rock of Ages festival put nine acts on stage! Saga were picked as the day's headliners, going up against their direct "challengers" Marillion, and the rest of the bill lined up like this: Dare, Pretty…

Simple. If it can't be Whitesnake, Bon Jovi or Scorpions, then Gotthard are of course the perfect stand-in for those wet dreams. Always! Vienna was no different. The incredible form and amazing camaraderie of these tough, hard-driving Swiss…

So on the last day of this February, for one of their standalone shows, Pretty Maids struck a deal with the famous Bluesiana Rock Cafe club, located in Velden in Austrian Carinthia, where they had already played once, back on 15.05.2014.

Kingmaker plays it safe with the proven recipe and the recognizable artistic ID card of the legendary Danish hard rockers, so longtime fans will once again welcome it with open arms.

Label: Frontiers Music Srl. Release date: 22.01.2016 Production: Eric Martensson Album length: 44.01 Genre: Melodic Rock / Hard Rock It's been five months since this album officially dropped, but it's still well worth a spotlight,…

The Danes' reserved start melted into a proper rock party with a one-of-a-kind flavor as the night went on, since watching them from a meter or two away was without a doubt an exclusive experience.

"Stryper lived up to their headliner billing, despite the stellar Pretty Maids and Eclipse ahead of them, who for many were the highlight of the second day's festival sets."

Stryper, Pretty Maids, Eclipse, Red Dragon Cartel: one set sweeter than the next on day two of Frontiers Rock festival!

Old meets new! Thanks to a unified production sound and updated arrangements, the older songs get right up close to Pretty Maids' current creative philosophy.

Location: Munich / Backstage (Halle) / Germany Date: 07.10.2013 Denmark's Pretty Maids are one of the few "survivors" of the hard-hitting, finely tuned school of melodic hard rock, stubbornly holding their ground on the scene since…

Part two of our Motherland tour coverage, as Pretty Maids keep German hard rock veterans Bonfire company in the Bavarian capital! Another priceless live encounter with the cornerstones of European hard rock heritage!

"A true rocker's heart is impossible to crush. And both Pretty Maids and Pink Cream 69 proved it with a vengeance, in the rawest, most honest light. Exactly the way the magic of the European hard rock Bible knows it."

Rene Shades is the man who finally stabilized the current lineup of the legendary Danish hard rockers Pretty Maids in April 2011. Before the band's show in Salzburg on September 26, 2013, he took a moment to chat with our crew.

Gigs come, tours come. Must-sees. Pretty Maids and Pink Cream 69 together in Salzburg! Close? Far? It doesn't get any closer to Slovenia. We've always gone abroad for our "hard rock" fix, and once again we had zero regrets!

Performing: Saxon, Lordi, Pretty Maids, Stratovarius, Masterplan, Entombed, Lake of Tears, H.E.A.T., Die Apokalyptischen Reiter (hall), Onslaught (hall), Artillery, Dream Evil, Fleshcrawl (hall), Exumed (hall), Crazy Lixx, Wanted Inc.…

In the spot Saxon found themselves in that night - a band with tremendous mileage, experience and a battle-tested game plan that lets them hold their own on any stage in the world - victory was there for the taking.

Not only has the new Pretty Maids album "Motherland" kept up the quality of its predecessor »Pandemonium«, but for all its pronounced darkness it actually delivers an even bigger melodic payoff than »Pandemonium«!

This is a release every die-hard Pretty Maids fan will grab without a second thought, and at the same time a document that's a manifesto of the band's sheer power and onstage invincibility. Happy first 30 years, boys!

Denmark's excellent hard rockers Pretty Maids, the very definition of defiance and, above all, of consistently high-quality studio work, first made a real mark on the scene with their studio debut »Red, Hot & Heavy« in 1984.

A surprisingly well-woven middle path between a straight-ahead, rock-solid backbone and a subtle AOR-flavored dose of melodic payoff brings a fresh, newly inspired studio document to the horizon
