Mob Rules (Band)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Mob Rules are a German power metal band. They were founded in 1994 by erstwhile Van Blanc guitarist Matthias Mineur and bassist Thorsten Plorin. Pulling in vocalist Klaus Dirks and drummer Arved Mannott, the quartet began to gig. Opening slots included shows with Pink Cream 69, C.I.T.A. and Crossroads. During the Spring of 1996 Mob Rules added second guitarist Oliver Fuhlhage and a self ficed mini album prompted a deal with Limb Music Productions for the March 1999 'Savage Land'. The reaction in Europe was encouraging and the band toured Germany on a co-headline jaunt with Ivory Tower. Other shows witnessed valuable support slots to Overkill and the Scorpions as well as an appearance at the Wacken Open Air festival in 2000.
