Blackout Problems
Of course, that’s only half the story. Real life is tough, and it never tires of throwing a spanner in the works. The band knows all about it, and now they’re putting it into songs. They’ve lived it. BLACKOUT PROBLEMS have never sounded this unguarded, this close to who they really are.
“HEAL”, the band’s fifth studio album, is out on 9 April 2027. It tells the story of a period when both their personal lives and the world around them gave Mario Radetzky, Marcus Schwarzbach and Moritz Hammrich every reason to give up hope for good. Sometimes everything you have to get through just becomes too much. They’ve poured all that disillusionment, hurt and relentless pressure into songs that flicker like small fires, even when the rain outside won’t let up. These songs glow, wrapping the weight at their core in an uplifting energy until they become a catalyst for healing. Tickets for the European “HEAL” tour are on sale now through all the usual ticket outlets. The album is also available to pre-order through the online shop of their own label, MUNICH WAREHOUSE, even though not a single note has been released yet.
Doesn’t it feel good to take a leap of faith again?
Down to earth, BLACKOUT PROBLEMS have built a dream together in 10 years. A dream they can live and share with thousands of fans who have already become part of their community. In doing so, Marcus emphasizes, "It's important to me that this band and its community is a safe space where everyone is welcome." A place without agitation, condemnation and barriers, characterized by closeness, honesty and authenticity – both of the band and their fans. The cohesion within this community and the band is stronger than ever. With their fourth album, it is once again important for the musicians to think long-term, not to give up against all doubts and to continue living this common dream. "Our flame won't get any smaller (...) let's start a beautiful riot."
