Dragon's Tongue and Meskalin (1991–1998)

In 1991, Brill along with Derek Butsch (drums), Markus Görg (bass), Thorsten Neu (lead guitar) and Stefan Reile (rhythm guitar) created Dragon's Tongue, the first grunge band in Saarland.[2] They quickly earned a very good reputation.[2] They changed their name to Meskalin in 1996. The band was dissolved after the death of Derek Butsch in 1998.[3]

Red Aim (1999–2006)

Brill joined Red Aim replacing Pascal Flach in 1999 under the stage name Dr. Don Rogers.[4][5] After he joined the band, their music started to go more into the direction of punk rock and heavy metal.[4] They also re-recorded their first studio album titled Call Me Tiger in 2000 with him.[5]

Powerwolf (2003–present)

He joined Powerwolf along with other Red Aim members in 2003. Similar to other band members, he decided to take on pseudonym Attila Dorn and build up a backstory around it.[6] According to it, Attila is half Romanian[7] and half Hungarian.[8][9] Charles and Matthew Greywolf met him in a pub in Sighișoara on their holidays in Romania and invited him to join their band. Soon after that, Attila moved to the Powerwolf's hometown Saarbrücken, and became the frontman of the band.[10]

On 22 October 2005 he performed live in Kaufbeuren with Gamma Ray during their song "Blood Religion".[11]

He was a guest during Sabaton's concert in Oberhausen on 17 September 2011.

In an interview with the Rock Hard magazine in 2013, Matthew Greywolf confirmed that Dorn is not from Romania.[12]

The Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung compared Brill's Attila Dorn character with Count Dracula,[13] the Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung described him as a "mix of a monk and a crusader"[14] and Die Welt as a "mix of Hunnic ruler and an Orthodox priest".[15]

Personal life

Karsten Brill was born on 27 October 1970[16] in Bous (then in West Germany) as a son of Albert Brill.[17]

On 16 May 2015,[18] he married Powerwolf's photographer Jenny Brill.[19]

He currently lives in Saarbrücken.[20][21]

Brill can sing from operatic to belting and raspy vocals like screaming. He is a dramatic tenor.[22][23][24][25] He has a vocal range of C2–BШаблон:Music5.[26]

He received classical vocal training by a vocal coach Francesco Cottone in Saarbrücken.[27]
