Rogo DeVille brings the Poetry of Darkness to the stage
On Saturday, October 3, 2026, the Groundlift in the Old Brewery Stegen will transform into a venue for dark colorful Poetry Slam Rock. Rogo DeVille and his band present with The Poetry of Darkness a concept album that blends Rock, Metal, Blues, and German-language lyrics. The concert begins at 9 PM, with doors opening at 8 PM.
Between Rock Energy and Cutting-Edge Lyrics
Rogo DeVille combines musical power with poetic self-reflection. His current work links twelve songs with fourteen poems and unfolds a Gesamtkunstwerk about shadows, vulnerability, friendship, and personal resurrection. The raw energy of rock meets lyrics that do not remain on the surface.
A Voice Between Baritone and Tenor
The focal point is DeVille's distinctive Bari-Nor, a three-octave mix of baritone and tenor as described by him. His sound carries bluesy weight, rough rock hardness, and the expressive stage performance of an artist who has developed his musical language from existential experiences. The live atmosphere promises intense dynamics, strong contrasts, and an audience mood oscillating between contemplation and liberation.
A Concept Album with Personal History
The album reveals memories of DeVille's time in psychiatric hospitals while simultaneously focusing on the longing for a true friend. The singer, poet, and author from Landsberg understands Poetry Slam Rock as a radically authentic connection between music and language. As early as the 1990s, he performed under the name Chris Rogo in the supporting act for Gianna Nannini. Today, he also works as a certified recovery companion.
From Darkness to One's Own Light
The musical dramaturgy does not follow a smooth success story but an artistic transformation. Philosophical questions about good and evil, will and fate, and the quest for one’s own comeback shape the staging. The concept album, slated for release on November 27, 2026, is produced by Uli Göhring in the Ringo Studios. It will feature 13 songs and 13 musically staged poems.
Conclusion: A Concert for Open Ears and Bold Thoughts
At Groundlift, the audience can expect an intense concert experience with brutal rock sound, dark lyrics, and a stage performance full of personal tension. Those who experience music as a mirror, a departure, and a communal moment should encounter Rogo DeVille live by Lake Ammersee.
