# Rob Earth — Vocalist · Guitarist · Frontman Source: https://rob-earth.de/ (as of 2026-10-14) German Metal & Rock since 1998 — Over 130 Live Shows ## Biography: A Restless Force Vocalist, guitarist, and a restless force in the German metal and rock scene for over 25 years. It started in 1998 on the banks of the Rhine, where Rob joined Trendkiller, a metal band rooted in the legendary Loreley region. What began there never stopped — Trendkiller remains his home base to this day. In 2006, Rob co-founded PsychoWankers, an acoustic duo touring 2006–2009. From 2009 to 2012, he lent his voice to Rapid Fire, a metal outfit in Rodgau. Overlapping with that, he joined The Ventilators, a hard rock band out of Koblenz — a fifteen-year run from 2010 to 2025. Between it all, Rob takes the stage solo — just a voice, a guitar, and decades of stage experience. - 27+ years on stage - 130+ live shows - 5 bands & projects ### Timeline - **TRENDKILLER** (1998 — present, Metal): Metal band rooted in the legendary Loreley region.
