Colos-Saal, Aschaffenburg, Germany2nd September 2009
Cynic, The Intersphere
The 2nd September 2009 should be a special evening for music lovers, as the American Death Metal band CYNIC had announced to come to the Colos-Saal. CYNIC was founded in 1987 by Paul Masvidal (vocals, guitar) and Sean Reinert (keys, drums). After several demo recordings, the band released its debut album `Focus´ in 1993. Due to this long-player´s incredible virtuosity and the breathtaking soundscape, CYNIC was on everyone´s lips and thrilled its fans as well as its critics. Unfortunately, the formation broke up one year later which made it acquire a cult status in the Metal scene. When CYNIC decided to reunite and to go on tour, the fans jumped for joy and couldn´t wait to buy the second full-length album `Traced in Air´ (2008) which was highly praised again. Additionally, the quartet from Florida had been the support act of OPETH last year. http://www.myspace.com/cyniconline / http://www.cyniconline.com/

Matrix, Bochum, Germany3rd September 2009
Keith Caputo & Sun Sui
KEITH CAPUTO is most notable for being the distinct voice of New York-based rock outfit LIFE OF AGONY which he founded in 1989 together with his cousin. But after 3 albums with the band he departed from them in 1997 but re-united with his former colleagues and released a fourth album with them in 2005. In the meantime, the guy hasn’t been just hanging around doing nothing and built up a considerable solo career and by now has four albums under his belt. After I had seen him with LIFE OF AGONY a few weeks before I was really curious how his “solo” concert would turn out.
