AZ-5 (AKW Session Bonus Track)

Three musicians, one decommissioned nuclear power plant. Tons of steel and concrete, waiting for something to happen since the 70s. We figured it was time.
Pipeline Punch is a trio from Graz, Austria – Felix Martl, Fabio Schurischuster and Roland Hanslmeier. The project came together in late 2025 during a spontaneous first session, when the three met for the first time. It clicked immediately, and within two days more than fifteen songs had taken shape. The result is a sound somewhere between jazz, rock, electronic textures and experimental music – two multi-instrumentalists meeting an extremely versatile drummer, with constantly shifting colors both live and in the studio. Despite only recently having met, the interplay feels organic and lived-in.
In April 2026, the band recorded two live sessions inside the control room of Zwentendorf – the nuclear power plant that was built in the 1970s but, after a national referendum, never went into operation. This is the last song of this Session.
