In spring 2013, their so far latest album "Asgard" set new standards in the band's history. With a new and enhanced live show, the insatiable appetite for dancing masses, popping bass lines and haunting melodies was unleashed to the world like Thor's hammer to crush the skull of the Midgard Serpent! Playing festivals (WGT, Amphi, E-tropolis, DMF), tours and concerts around the world (USA, Mexico, Russia, Europe) further increased sales figures and worldwide success! Now, the martial succession of Asgard appears in autumn 2014 with the new album "Beast". Each track comes with pure power down on the dance floors of the world. Centhron make it still brutally hard on the nordic way - rough and straight - upright in the storm! The north gods are crying for hearing, war, sex. Under the banner "War of Gods, horny and sick"! See you live on stage – Raise your Fist!
A short band history…
Centhron was founded in winter 2001 as an electronic intimacy between Elmar Schmidt (Voice + Synth + Programming) and Jörg Herrmann (Progamming) and the result was the demo CD “Melek Taus” and first concerts with “Suicide Commando”. After the success of the shows and the demo, Centhron recorded a complete album: ‘Lichtsucher’, that – released in 2003 - exceeded all expectations! DAC DJ Bullet No.1 in the DUC Charts, Zillo Sampler and massive requests and congratulations from all European Countries. And this all without a record label! Performances in Germany, Austria, Benelux and Italy followed, together with Suicide Commando, SITD, Kiew, Xotox, Agonoize, Reaper, Psyclon Nine…
Next to frontman Elmar Schmidt and sound engineer Joerg Herrmann the live band is Melly Thies (Female Voice), Stefan Thies (Bass) and Anette Schmidt (Live Synth) and next from that moment they was the "Centhron family". Back with this success the second album “Gottwork” was created and released in 2006. An electric firework from the finest. This time with the support from record label “Final Dusk” the album was received very well and drew large circles, not only in Europe, also in the United States. Unfortunatelly there was no distributor in the US for the albums, so Centhron decided to send the cds on their own to the DJs and clubs following the big demand. After three years with concerts a new album “Roter Stern” was released on Scanner in 2009. Mixed by Jan L. (x-m-p), Art-Work and Cover always by Claudi Corsten – A new “Gottwerk” burned the speakers from the chassis! After the tour with Agonoize and successful concerts the fan base could be increased tremendously. So, Centhron Mastermind Elmar Schmidt went full with energy into the studio to work and produce a new album. With all the impressions of the last years and in the new megalomania the result was the most danceable Centhron album released in 2011 – “Dominator” In Spring 2011, with the new live bassist Markus Vogler, the monster Centhron let loose in humanity. Starting with awesome shows supporting “Combichrist” the presentation of Cethron’s “Dominator was crowned by a successful tour across Europe and Russia, and a bombastic final concert in December 2011.
