German metalcore band
Any Given Day is a German heavy metal and metalcore band formed in 2012 in Gelsenkirchen.
They combine a brutal sound with an emotional meaningful twist.
History
The band was formed in 2012 by singer Dennis Diehl, guitarists Andy Posdziech and Dennis ter Schmitten, bassist Michael Golinski and drummer Raphael Altmann who played in several bands before forming Any Given Day.
In October 2012 they recorded a three-track self-titled demo. All three songs were re-recorded on their debut album My Longest Way Home, which was released worldwide in September 2014 via Redfield Records. The album peaked on No. 28 in the German album charts and lasted there for one week.[1][2] To promote the album the band toured in four cities in Germany: Munich, Bochum, Stuttgart and Berlin.[3]
In January 2014, the band toured with Caliban for three shows and with Sonic Syndicate in September.[4]
In the beginning of 2015 they again supported Caliban on their Ghost Empire Tour along with Bury Tomorrow and Dream On, Dreamer. In 2016, the band recorded a song entitled "Arise" with singer and guitarist Matt Heafy of Trivium.
In 2019, they released their third studio album Overpower with songs such as "Savior" and "Taking Over Me".
The band commented about the departure of longtime drummer Raphael Altmann: “We started to work on the song when the global pandemic started and because of the circumstances the whole writing process was a little bit tricky. Who would have thought that the topic of „Apocalypse“ is even more real today than 2 years ago. We want to spread the message that we all have to take responsibility in our lives and our society and not just to point at others. Instead of waiting for something to happen or to look for a scapegoat we all should ask ourselves how we can be an active part of the solution and not be part of the problem. If we all stand together, we can make an impact and can actually change things as a union”
Leon Stiller was named the new drummer of Any Given Day. The band has released three new singles, Apocalypse, Get That Done And Unbreakable.
