2023 was the year of the Artrockers from RPWL: ‚Crime Scene', the eleventh studio album and the nineteenth overall, entered various charts after its release: it even reached a remarkable 18th place in the German album charts! This was followed by a fantastic long European tour through eight countries with many sold-out venues.

RPWL (taken from the first letter of the surname of each of the original band members) started life in 1997 as a Pink Floyd cover band, but quickly found their own sound and their own place in the progrssive rock/symphonic rock arena. 'World Through My Eyes' is their fourth studio album follwing on from 'God Has Failed' (2000), 'Trying to Kiss the Sun' (2002) and 'Stock' (2003) and firmly establishes them, alongside Sylvan, as one of Germany's most important Prog bands writing music at the moment.

On the new longplayer Crime Scene this Bavarian Artrock institution directs it's attention to the morbid, the perverse, the evil in good, the abysses of the human behavior spectrum in all it's unpredictable diversity, which sometimes comes across as bizarrely disturbing and conclusive, if one tries to fathom it. In six densely atmospheric tracks RPWL have once again embarked on intensive journeys through their own band vita, as well as their own record collections.
