A challenge of honour - No way out (2008)



A Challenge of Honour starts in 2000 when the german musician Johan König records his demo-tape and asks Peter Savelkoul to release it on his label Stahlklang Audio. The demo-tape, ‘the right place’ ,was limited to 30 copies and sold out within days. One of the buyers of this first release was a young french music lover, Phillipe, who gave the tape to a friend who had a record-company named Divine Comedy Records.

The friend, Fabrice, contacted Peter and asked if he was intrested to release a CD on his label, Peter was by this time already member of acoh. He asked Johan and they accepted, result; ‘Only Stones Remain’, an album which was the start of a whole serie of releases. Johan decided to quit acoh to have more time for his girlfriend and other musical projects, he co-writes four songs for the debut-album and also recorded the legendary ‘Wilhelm Gustloff’ befor he totally stops with the project.

Peter went on with the project resulting in releases as the triology of human madness (divine comedy), a rerelease of the ‘Wilhelm Gustloff’ CD (cold spring) and the great releases on the austrian Steinklang Records label of his good friend Max Presch. In 2005 Peter started a new label to release only material of a challenge of honour and these releases are not only vinyl releases but also CD’s and limited CDR’s.

ACOH nace del músico alemán Johan Konig y se une Peter Savelkoul de la banda de black metal Belphegor para la edición de su primera demo. Una de las 30 cintas llegan hasta el sello Divine Comedy Records que les ofrece grabar un disco que se convertirá en Only Stones Remain.

En un momendo dado Johan decide dejar el proyecto para centrarse en la vida con su novia y en otros proyectos musicales. Peter continua con el proyecto y edita una trilogía sobre la locura humana en el sello Divine antes de reeditar su primer trabajo en Cold Spring.

En 2005 crea su propio sello para editar los trabajos de ACOH bajo el nombre de Vrihaspati Recordings.
