Junker Jörg

Formed in 1999, the Denver based Nu Metal band, Junker Jörg's name, pronounced Junker George, is the alias of Martin Luther - the father of the Reformation. After Martin Luther tacked the 95 thesis to the Wittenburg Door on October 31st 1517, there was a great uproar which resulted in changing Christianity forever. Luther was summoned to the "Diet of Worms" to defend his beliefs, after which, the counsel found him a heretic and sentenced him to death. Duke Fredrick hid Luther in the Wartburg Castle, disguised him as a Knight, and gave him the name Junker Jörg.
Junker Jörg mixes complex theological concepts, Christian history, and hard music to stir a spiritual awareness in their unique way. Junker Jörg's desire is that their music be an effective tool to help further the Kingdom of God with their "ministry before music" approach.
