A new chapter for Subsignal | A LiveProg Podcast with Markus Steffen

After the split up of Sieges Even in 2008, Subsignal was formed by Markus Steffen (guitars) and Arno Menses (vocals) and the band released six studio albums, one live DVD and one live album. In 2024 the band toured to promote their latest album, A Poetry of Rain. Shortly after the tour singer Arno Menses announced his departure from Subsignal and that put the band in jeopardy. Not knowing this, I reached out to Markus for an interview, but that did not happen. Until a few weeks ago, when I got word that there were developments! So time to chat with Markus, about the departure of Arno, the future of Subsignal and a lot more! 00:00 Intro 02:29 Looking back on the Poetry of Rain tour 06:29 The departure of Arno 12:52 The future of Subsignal 16:14 A look into the creative process of Markus 19:54 The 1999 solo album 25:00 Writing the lyrics 34:00 Where it all started: Sieges Even 40:12 Studio or Stage 41:45 Guitar influences and brands 46:47 The musical influences in Subsignal Keep up with Subsignal:   / subsignal     / subsignalband   Listen here to Markus' 1999 solo album: https://markussteffen.bandcamp.com/al...
