Dear Amphi Fans,

as you might have noticed, things recently were a little calm around the Amphi Festival. Ever since the earth-shaking announcement of Leæther Strip’s glorious stage-return in December, we used the silence before the (next) storm extensively to tie up another exciting band-package for you!


New band announcements:

FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM, THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE, MANTUS, ROSA CRVX

Ladies and Gentlemen, the second headliner of this year’s Amphi Festival is confirmed! With the British Goth legend FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM we welcome one of the most fascinating and influential bands from over the last 25 years. Virtuously lead by mastermind Carl McCoy, FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM are still defending their outstanding position in the scene, whilst having reached the state of invincibility with songs like ‘Moonchild’, ‘Dawnrazor’ or ‘Last exit for the lost’. Dense, atmospheric song writing and love for the compositional detail, combined with Carl McCoy’s magical aura are FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM’s great strengths, ensuring an intense live-experience that will irresistibly pull you into its charm.
 
When THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE first entered the European stage 5 years ago, they smashed like a bomb. With their secret recipe of seductively catchy synth-pop, traces of wave and spicy industrial-metal, the Canadians hit the hammer to the nail and brought up a breeze of fresh air, like hardly any other band at that time. Not only for their energetic stage performance, around front whirlwind Chibi, THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE are one of the hottest Live-acts to date, and they’re up to enrich the Amphi Festival 2009 with their distinct style, being somewhere between sugar-sweet and murderously dangerous!
 
A jewel for friends of romantic Goth rock awaits you with MANTUS. Three years after splitting up, Thalia and Martin Schindler take fate back into their hands again, starting off with a glorious comeback in 2009 and their new album ‘Requiem’ (released 23rd January 2009). Romantic lyrics, full of longing and dreamy-dark Goth-rock are the ingredients of their 8th studio work. And there’s more... For the first time in the band’s history, MANTUS will perform live, including a repertoire of their best and most successful songs, out of 8 studio albums. Therefore we’re glad, to be the first scene open air to announce MANTUS, playing live at the Amphi Festival 2009, while spreading their extraordinary atmosphere.
 
Formed in 1984, we’ve been able to confirm another fascinating arrival, called ROSA CRVX. The band, deriving from the French city of Rouen, conjures a martial-apocalyptic atmosphere, between the poles of rock, dark wave and neo-classical elements, yet intensified by their choice of weapons! Instead of keyboards and ordinary drum computers, ROSA CRVX astounds their audience with an archaic seeming church bell organ and a fully automated and mechanised drum set. On stage ROSA CRVX finish their piece of art with an enthralling performance, taking you on an exciting trip into the world of ritual sounds.
