Armin Sabol & Red Hot

about

In the year 1977 Armin Sabol founded the Nand SHIVA together with bandmate Mat Sinner. The youngster’s heavy rock trio toured southern Germany with different drummers.

After Peermusic could not find a suitable producer they suggested to leave the production up to Schilling and Sabol, since the 4-track demos sounded so well and already “had it all”. The Peter Schilling Album “error in the system” was released in the fall of 1982. The first single, “Major Tom (Völlig losgelöst“) crashed into the charts in early 1983, climbing up to # 1 and staying there for 8 weeks. The follow-up singles “Die Wüste lebt”, “Fehler im System”, “Terra Titanic” und “Hitze der Nacht” all went into the charts, just as well as Schillings second album “120 Grad”. In 1984,
