Biography

The German metalcore outfit was formed in Düsseldorf in 2002 by singer Bastian Sobtzick, guitarists Thomas Buschhausen and Bernhard Horn, bassist Thorsten Becker, and drummer Maximilian Kotzmann. The group made its official debut in 2005 with the EP Chonos, released independently via their label My Favorite Toy Records. Willkommen im Beerdigungscafé, their first full-length, appeared in 2006. After landing a record deal with Nuclear Blast, Callejon delivered their sophomore effort Zombieactionhauptquartier in 2008, followed by their 2010 breakthrough album Videodrom, which was inspired by the David Cronenberg film of the same name. The album entered the German charts at Number 31 and would be the group's final album for Nuclear Blast. During this time, the band recruited guitarist Christoph "Kotsche" Koterzina and Max "Kotze" Kotzmann filled in for Sven Wasel on drums. For the remainder of the decade, Callejon released five Top 10 studio albums—Blitzkreuz (2012), Man spricht Deutsch (2013), Wir sind Angst (2015), Fandigo (2017), and Hartgeld im Club (2019)—and adopted an increasingly more melodic approach toward songwriting. Following the release of the Fritz Lang-inspired Metropolis in 2020, Callejon returned in 2022 with their tenth studio LP Eternia, which reached Number 9 in Germany.
