The new EDGUY album “Space Police – Defenders Of The Crown” enters the official German album charts at #2, bagging this week’s highest new entry in the album charts. This is the best chart position of an EDGUY album ever.
Tobias Sammet has sent us the following statement: “The fans have spoken! On behalf of my buddies Jens, Dirk, Eggi & Felix: Thank you all so much! We have been quite vocal about how much we love this album but it is an amazing feeling to learn that you agree. We wanna thank the whole world of Rock & Metal for the great reactions. It took us 22 years into our career to celebrate the biggest success of our band history? Seriously? That’s amazing! We will always be thankful and we will work our asses off to reward you with a big show on the world tour in autumn. See you there and cheerzz, the ‘Love Tyger’ 😉 “ “Space Police – Defenders Of The Crown” also entered the UK Rock Charts on # 1. For the first time EDGUY have also entered the long play album charts in the UK as well, going in on #82.
EDGUY also reached their highest chart entries in Czech Republic (#8), Finland (#12), Switzerland (#13) and Austria (#27), and made another Top 30 entry in Sweden (#28).
German metallers EDGUY are big fans of boxing, the band have recently announced that they will rock Berlin “Velodrom” on May 3rd and help boxing world champion Arthur Abraham to defend his title against the competing Nikola Sjekloca (live on German National TV “ARD”).
Vocalist and EDGUY-mastermind Tobias Sammet commented as follows: “We want to give Arthur an awesome walk-in. Thus we have chosen the song ‘Love Tyger’ from our new record that will give both the audience as well as Arthur an uplifting spirit on his way to the ring.”
Even the subtitle of the brand new EDGUY release – Defenders Of The Crown – goes along perfectly to the Berlin fight night of Arthur Abraham, according to Sammet. Especially since WM competitor Nikola Sjekloca has been bragging about being the next „King“ with his victory over Abraham for weeks and that he will crown himself as “Nikola the I.”.
“This won’t work. King Arthur will of course defeat his crown successfully and Sjekloca will go home empty-handed. We are completely sure about this”, Sammet says.
On April 18th the new EDGUY album »SPACE POLICE – Defenders Of The Crown« will be released (UK April 21st, USA April 29th). The press has already praised the album as one of the best, most traditional and heaviest albums the band has ever recorded, getting top scores in all the relevant metal magazines.
Now the video clip for the single ‘Love Tyger’ can be watched below; as the band puts it their “most different video clip we actually never shot!”

Besides their longtime goal, reaching the world domination, EDGUY also considers approaching NASA for stage set! In September EDGUY will hit the road in support of their forthcoming album »Space Police – Defenders Of The Crown«. The tour management has just revealed that they considered approaching NASA to help realize the stage for the show. A spokesman from All Access Entertainment says: “Working with EDGUY is a pleasure, but at the same time it’s a major challenge. The best is not good enough for EDGUY because they love their fans like no other band in the world. They have always been the hardest working band on the planet to give their audience the biggest bang for the buck. It’s an honor to work for them. The first time we considered approaching NASA was for a keyboard, due to frictional heat caused by Tobi’s fast playing – the keys literally caught fire. We were in need of special material and gear used in the world of aerospace technology. That’s when we got the idea of building a life-size model of Cape Canaveral to take out on the road with us. However, it was difficult to transform, we failed – but it was worth the try. Now, we see what we can come up with for the forthcoming tour, but we’re optimistic that it will blow away everything known to humankind.”

On April 18th the new EDGUY album “Space Police – Defenders Of The Crown” will hit the stores (UK: April 21st, US: April 28th).
In September the band will embark on the SPACE POLICE WORLD TOUR with a brand new astonishing stage production. The first tour dates read as follows, more dates in other countries will be announced in the forthcoming days and weeks.
Tobias Sammet comments: “Finally, EDGUY are back! No Rock Opera, just going on stage and delivering the greatest high velocity entertainment show of the decade. “King Of Fools”, “Lavatory Love Machine”, “Tears Of A Mandrake” and a lot more old and new stuff. It feels great to go on stage with my childhood friends again, after the Deep Purple tour it’s amazing to come with our own stage production again and turn every venue into an arena. It’s all just a matter of attitude. Quite simple and humble as always: We’re all looking forward to bulldoze our way across the world, armed with sabre, torch, a bunch of guitars and a huge old school stage production. Don’t be silly, be there!“
