In a world full of smart technology and digital days, The Citadel is for all those who feel drawn towards a slower, more intense experience. They offer a path towards hippiesque stage shows, classic E-organ hues, excess and Sixties rock flair - played by young faces. Their genre is psychedelic rock - but do not miss out on the subtle Blues and Folk traces hidden in there! Established in 2022, the band is already awaiting the release of their second studio album called "Dawns on Mental Highways" in April and making their way onto the various stages of their home region - the Nuremberg Metropolitan area, Southern Germany.

The Citadel - Vintage mixed with contemporary vibes, freshly served psychedelic lifestyle!

Album description:

Here is the second studio album by the German Psychedelic Rock Band The Citadel. It is a curious mixture of musical styles reminiscent of the time around 1967, when bands experimented in the studio and paved new paths. So maybe, the album title "Dawns on Mental Highways" reflects the stance towards their music. Or maybe it hints at something different.

Who can tell? All you need to do is listen, and there is a lot to hear:

The singer seems to have a fragile voice, yet shouts her Dylanesque lyrics angrily from time to time. The organ player soaks half of the songs with a classic acid sound. The guitar player acts a folky one, throwing in acoustic tunes and flute, before bashing into heavy electric riffs. The bass player is unusually jumpy on his Tropicana-fused lines while the drummer dances and stomps easily as needed.

A strange record indeed, especially for young listeners not familiar with its roots.

The Citadel think it is time again to take a trip into psychedelic rock. Let it blow your mind!
