Red Aim – a German band performing broadly defined rock music. The group was formed in 1995, initially playing music from the border of Raga Rock. After changing the vocalist to Karsten Brill, the songs began to go towards punk rock and then heavy metal.

After the fifth album "Niagara" members of the band formed a power metal group Powerwolf.

In 2006, the album "Pink Necromantic" was announced, which meant to be released in the same year,  which, however, never did.

Band Story
The band was formed in 1995. Pascal Flach and Benjamin Buss knew each other well from school. Red Aim released "Sinai Jam" (1996) and "Orange" (1998) as self-released mini-albums before signing the publishing contract at Dortmund with "I Used To Fuck People Like You In Prison" Records (later People Like You Records). The first non-self release was the album "Call Me Tiger". "Call Me Tiger" is an enriched "Orange" with two additional songs. The release was re-mixed and sung by Karsten Brill when vocalist Pascal Flach left the band. Stefan Gemballa joined the band as a drummer. In the same year, Red Aim released the cover of Iron Maiden's "The Trooper".

In 2000, Red Aim was on tour with the Dutch band 7Zuma7. In 2000, they released EP "The Aprilfuckers EP" and in 2001 album "Saartanic Cluttydogs". With the signing of a contract with American labelling company  Metal Blade Records, the band changed his line-up. Bassist Thorsten Erbel was replaced by El Davide. Ray Kitzler has joined as a keyboardist. In August 2001, they played at the Summer Breeze Open Air festival in Ostalb. In 2002, the second album published by Metal Blade Records - "Flesh For Fantasy" was released. It was produced at Hagener Woodhouse Studios under the direction of Dan Diamond. The song "Rock You Like A Hurricane" is a cover of the Scorpions band. In April 2002, Red Aim supported the German rock group In Extremo during their spring tour.

In early August 2002, Red Aim played at Wacken Open Air in Schleswig-Holstein. The year 2003 was the next Metal Blade Records album, named "Niagara". On December 6, 2003, drummer Stefan Gemballa was wounded at the end of the show in Saarbrücken.
