The band is preparing for their next tour which will support the new album "PERFECT INSANITY" later this year. Released by Frontiers this one carries on the spirit and the high quality which was already built on "HELLUVA TIME" and "SINISTER MIND". It even contains another ballad after there was none on the last CD. Like on "SINISTER MIND" the 'magic triangle' consisting of sound wizards Michael Voss (ex-CASANOVA, MAD MAX), Chris Lausmann (ex-BONFIRE) and Dennis Ward (PINK CREAM 69) took the production of "PERFECT INSANITY" into higher spheres.
2008
JADED HEART promoted their latest hit album "SINISTER MIND" all over Europe. They toured with UFO and later with Swedish rockers THE POODLES which was a successful and joyful alliance you have to search for in the future…so many Swedish guys from different bands in one bus colliding with the German “Ordnung muss sein”.
2007
Peter, Johan, Muelli, Henning and Axel started the production of their eighth album "SINISTER MIND" which came out worldwide on the 19th of October. It was recorded and mixed by top producers Michael Voss and Chris Lausmann. In addition to that it was mastered by Dennis Ward. With incredible sound created by them and much more heaviness JADED HEART gained a lot of new fans with this album which was the first one in the band’s discography without a ballad.
2006
Barish Kepic left the band and the remaining JADED HEART musicians started immediately searching for a new talented member. The band’s superb choice was another Swedish guy: PETER ÖSTROS, a long-time friend of the band and guitar teacher in Stockholm. Peter brought fresh ideas and influences to the band's music with his fantastic playing and songwriting skills. Besides that his great voice gave intensification for the band’s backing vocals on stage. After playing some festivals (for example SWEDENROCK) and another headliner tour with the new line-up, JADED HEART proudly signed a worldwide record deal with Frontiers Records. On their tour through Europe they were supported by MAD MAX and PAGANINI. A little story behind the scenes: Axel and Henning performed on this tour two times each night: After their gigs with MAD MAX (Henning as temporary member; Axel used to be a fix member of the band) they changed clothes and hit the stage again for another 100 minutes of live Rock’n’Roll with JADED!
2005
Yet another JADED HEART master piece was released worldwide by Italian Frontiers Records: October 10th was the D-Day: “HELLUVA TIME” showed all the trademarks of the band combined with modern sound and Johan’s outstanding new voice. Title and artwork revealed the link between the band’s past and present days. And one big tradition was kept: With a cover version of Anastacia’s ‘Paid my dues’ JADED HEART landed another rock discotheque’s hit around the planet. Recorded in Germany and Sweden the album was produced by the band and co-produced by ex-BONFIRE member Chris Lausmann in his studios in Munich. Later this year JADED HEART supported HELLOWEEN on their tour all over Spain and France with Muelli’s French friend Frederic Leclercq (now DRAGONFORCE) on guitar as a substitute for Barish. Those became legendary funny times in the band’s history.
2004
“TRUST” was released by their new label UlfTone Music from Berlin, Germany. In April/May the band went on their very successful headliner tour all over Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Belgium supported by BLACKBURN from Switzerland. As soon as they came back from the road Bormann and the rest of the band decided to part their ways. JADED HEART started their search for a new promising lead vocalist. The winner of the tough and seemingly never-ending auditions was JOHAN FAHLBERG (ex-SCUDIERO) from Stockholm, Sweden. He has not only beaten all his opponents by his performance, but suited the band musically and personally the most.
2003
JADED HEART started working on songs for their new long player “TRUST” which in a way was a departure from the previous albums. It got much heavier than the earlier material. 2002 the band recorded their fifth album “THE JOURNEY WILL NEVER END” with producer Tommy Newton (ex-VICTORY; who was responsible for the sound on HELLOWEEN’s ‘Keeper of the seven keys’). He did a great job in creating a new sound for the band in songs like ‘We’ll drag you down’ and in the fantastic cover version of Backstreet boys’ ‘Larger than life’.
2001
The band's ‘best-of’ compilation “DIARY 1990-2000” was released and the band played a very successful tour with GOTTHARD all over Europe. During the tour new multi-instrumentalist HENNING ‘WANNA’ WANNER from Germany took his place behind the keyboards and contributed with his brilliant backing vocals to the band’s new live qualities.
1999
The band signed a contract with MTM Music and recorded the fourth album, simply entitled “IV”, in the USA. It was produced during the summer by AXE guitarist Bobby Barth in his NEH Studios in Denver, Colorado. With this master piece JADED HEART pushed themselves to the next level. The record contains for example the great cover version of Phil Collins’ ‘Easy Lover’.
1998
This year saw the release of their third studio output “MYSTERY EYES” on Teichiku Records in Japan, followed by the European release on new label BWS. Though the guitar parts on the album were played by Alex Beyrodt and Andreas Rippelmeyer the band recruited guitarist Barish Kepic as a permanent member.
1997
JADED HEART was on tour for more than 40 dates in Europe opening up for AXXIS and HEAVEN’S GATE. “SLAVES AND MASTERS” hit the top 10 in the import charts in Japan and stayed there for four months! In Germany the band was featured on several national TV appearances with for example RTL and PRO 7.
1996
The band’s second album “SLAVES AND MASTERS” was released. It contains additional guitar parts played by Alex Beyrodt (later in SILENT FORCE and SINNER).
1994
Their debut album “INSIDE OUT” was released via Long Island label, and right after its release keyboardist Chris Ivo joined in. They hit the road supporting GLENN HUGHES and MOTHER'S FINEST. The title track still belongs to JADED HEART’s live set.
1991
Vocalist Michael Bormann and his brother guitarist Dirk formed together with bassist MICHAEL ‘MUELLI’ MUELLER and MAD MAX drummer AXEL KRUSE the band JADED HEART in Duisburg, Germany.
