Statements:
“Incredible film, visually and audibly delicious! The voyage of “the crew” makes you feel like your right there on the trip! This is the perfect meld of Tiki and Hotrod at its finest! Well done guys... Well done!”
"A stunning masterpiece!"
“Great show! Well put together and well worth watching! 10/10”
“Settled down on a wet Friday night with a few beers in Belfast to watch the road movie and the sun just rolled in! If you're a Hot Rod, Kustom and/or Tiki fan and especially if you live somewhere in the world that is gray and a long way from California this will take you to another world. Whenever it’s pissing down here I will stick on the movie and live the dream.”
“What an incredibly well shot film! I enjoyed the story and the visuals. I'd love to see more projects with the The Wild Bunch!”
"This is the kind of film you want to watch three times in a row to catch all the cool bits they throw in. So tripple up your popcorn and have fun!"
“Wow, holy crap was this a lot of fun to watch. What a great representation of Southern California!”
“A super cool and entertaining movie with the most beautiful shooting. Guaranteed Behlau color scheme not to mention the beautiful mellow velvety voice of Ms Jessica. If you enjoy Tiki, kustom kulture and hot rods, this is your movie!”
"Cool guys! Beautiful girls! Great soundtrack! Weird cars! ...and drinks drinks drinks!!! Don't forget to have a drink ready while watching this movie! Damn short 78 minutes! GRRREAT!!!"
“Dirk has done it again after the huge success of his first movie, Flake & Flames. This time he captures the inner circle of the Polynesian Pop, traditional hot rodding, & traditional pinup subcultures. It's a must see for fans of any of these (and who isn't?)”

Bei der diesjährigen CHROM & FLAMMEN Show am 16. Juli 2017 in Recklinghausen fand wieder der beliebte Rockabella Contest statt, bei der sich rund ein Dutzend hübscher Damen zur Wahl stellten. Deutliche Siegerin des von „Rockabilly Rules“ gesponsorten Wettbewerbs wurde Nina Vesper, die im Kellnerinnen-Outfit auf Rollschuhen über die Bühne düste…
Neben drei großzügigen Einkaufsgutscheinen bei dem Fifties-Laden „Rockabilly Rules“ aus Essen für die ersten drei Siegerinnen gab es ein exklusives Foto-Shooting mit CHROM & FLAMMEN Fotograf Dirk „Pixeleye“ Behlau zu gewinnen. Und natürlich sollte ein klassisches amerikanisches Auto bei diesem Fototermin nicht fehlen, weshalb sich die Redaktion auf die Suche nach einem geeigneten Fahrzeug machte. Ein Anruf bei Nina löste das Problem ziemlich schnell: Nina und ihr Ehemann Stefan Strupp hatten gerade einen neuen US-Oldtimer in ihrem Fuhrpark – einen 1959er Dodge Coronet in mintgrün.
Der „Fuhrpark“ bestand bis dato aus einem 2013er Dodge Challenger und einem 1997er Chevrolet Astro Van, der Nina und die „Showskating“-Mädels zu Shows begleitet. „Es war eigentlich immer klar, dass ich irgendwann einmal einen Ami mit Heckflossen haben möchte, aber das war eher ein ferner Traum und stand derzeit eigentlich gar nicht auf der Agenda“, berichtet Nina. Ein Freund von den beiden Wuppertalern, der ebenfalls auf der Suche nach einem US-Car aus den 50ern war, kam zu Besuch und zeigte den beiden Autos, die er sich noch anschauen wollte. „Darunter war auch dieser mintgrüne Coronet in Rehna“, erzählt Nina, „ich war sofort schockverliebt in diesen Wagen!“. bit.ly/2xcPTfY

DIAMOND KOBRA delivers the new single hymn „Rise of the Legion“ with guitar wizard Frank Pané (Bonfire, Sainted Sinners) on guitars - the first track of their next album. Multi instrumentalist Tommy Geiger (ex-Palast) plays the bass guitar on this futuristic 1980s Heavy Metal track with strong Savatage and Crimson Glory influences.
Otto Løfgren says:
„The new track is rooted in Dark Synthwave but is basically an epic heavy metal hymn with strong metal guitars. We are very happy about the fact we now have kind of a band structure with Frank and Tommy. Frank contacted us after the release of „Return of the Starbeast“ as he really digs our first two albums.
So we just tried to work on a track together and it was a perfect match directly from the start. Frank already plays on 4-5 new tracks now and it’s a pleasure that we found each other. In addition to this Tommy Geiger (who is also our producer - beside his work with Blind Guardian, Halloween, Saxon and so on) is giving a lot of input with different instruments like keyboards and bass guitar.
And he just has the vision how our style of music has to sound like. Massive and epic. He’s a real professional and both guys are lifting the sound of DIAMOND KOBRA to the next level. Artwork wise we are going into a more realistic direction, more into the high-end rendering video game graphic style like in Cyberpunk 2077. We found a great artist from Italy, so the „Legend“ single artwork shows his first work for as: a 1967 Chevy Camaro in a futuristic night life scene.“
