Biography
The Austrian band Jacobs Moor was founded by Richard Krenmaier, Johnny Sommerer and Rainer Lidauer. Richard Krenmaier is already well known by metal fans throughout Europe as the singer of the Power Metal band Stygma IV.
In autumn 2013 the trio finished producing their debut album “All That Starts”.
At the same time the live line-up was completed with Johannes Pichler and Rupert Träxler on guitars and Stephan Först on bass. Rupert and Stephan are already well known in the mid-European Progressive Metal scene through their work with Circle Of Illusion (www.circleofillusion.com).
The band produced their first video of the song „Faceless Man“ which was filmed and edited by René Huemer (www.renehuemer.com) who is also Jacobs Moor’s live-photographer. After months of rehearsing the band played a highly acclaimed album-release-concert in Upper Austria and began building their fan community. Some live videos can be found under VIDEO or on our YouTube channel.
In June 2014 Jacobs Moor have signed a digital distribution deal with Bleeding Star Records. „All That Starts“ is available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and almost every well-known online store worldwide. The CD can be ordered here: SHOP

In spring 2017 Jacobs Moor have finished producing their 2nd longplay album “Self”. The album has been produced by the band members themselves again, mastering was made by Tony Lindgren at Fascinationstreet Studios in Sweden. Tony is a well-known mastering engineer in the Metal scene, he has a lot of great credits, for example James LaBrie, Kreator, Leprous, Paradise Lost and Sepultura. The album sounds awesome, high-quality cover artwork and photos reflect the dark, energetic and aggressive vibes of the music.
On September 15 a lyric video of the song “Watching Atrocities” - the opener of the new album – has been released. A small edition of CDs has been released on October 20 and is available in the SHOP.
So far “Self” has got even better reviews than the debut album and the last EP, all reviews are listed in the PRESS section.
