Despite a message on the band's official web site (there you see only a gravestone with the words: Peter Steele, free at least, 1962 - 2005.) that seems to suggest otherwise, TYPE O NEGATIVE frontman Peter Steele HAS NOT DIED. The band, who are famous for their dark sense of humor, have spent much of the last few months preparing material for their SPV Records debut, which is expected to be recorded later in the year.
TYPE O NEGATIVE cancelled their U.S. tour last fall in order to allow Steele to undergo further tests after "undisclosed anomalies" were discovered during a medical exam. A February 11, 2005 update on Peter's condition from TYPE O NEGATIVE drummer Johnny Kelly stated, "There really isn't much to report other than he's doing fine and his health is improving daily."

Jubilee for Depeche Mode Fans
21st May 2005, Markthalle Hamburg, 21:00
The heritage of a cult!
Depeche Mode fans are celebrating their life style - preferably on the "Party for the Masses" in Hamburg. In the great Depeche Mode year - the band is celebrating their 25th birthday - the fans are asked to take part in creating their "own" party. Photos with the musicians, own concert recordings or home remixes - the organisators are presenting the cult via beamer or iPod. But the influence of the British boys goes much farther. The US-Synthpop-Duo "Iris" is coming to the party with their last album "Awakening" to give one of the very rare German shows. And that´s not all! With their debut release, the band "Sono" from Hamburg climbed up even the US-charts. During an exclusive promo gig they are presenting their new record "Off". So you can look forward an unique party mix which is framed by the best out of 25 years Depeche Mode.
Pre-sale: 11 EUR, At the doors: 13 EUR

Fields of Rock: “A heavy day in the park” June 18th 2005
Goffertpark, Nijmegen, the Netherlands
Organised for the first time in 2003, Fields of Rock is a real festival newbie, yet one with a spectacular first year. As Festival director Rob Trommelen tells in an Interview on the website of Fields of Rock (FoR): “Fields Of Rock started in 2002. Metallica’s agent called, announcing that the band was planning to tour and that Holland was on their wish list. Fine… But Metallica only wanted to do festivals. At that point in time there really wasn’t a suitable festival. So what do you do? You make up one: Fields Of Rock. The location was there in a whiff: De Goffert in Nijmegen. A beautiful festival terrain. Next I started to find out what was on sale: Marilyn Manson, Slayer, Metallica of course… That first edition in 2003 was an enormous success: 41,000 visitors. Metallica put on a fantastic show. One year later there wasn’t quite as much hard rock on tour. The decision was made quickly: no Fields Of Rock. This festival will only be held if there’s something special on offer.” And yes the last part is all true for this years FoR, A spectacular line-up makes this years festival a true Hardrock festival with a smile.

Don't think we're lazy or something just because it has been a few days since we last posted something new on the site. We have loads of stuff just waiting to to be enjoyed by you!
It's just that we have been experiencing a lot slower performance from our previous server hotel. It got to the point where we were just facing an inevitable move. Especially since we saw that the visitors started dropping - and we don't blame you, everything was painfully slow!
This should be fixed now and we will continue to work on publishing more content to the site, along with making some improvements both in presentation and by optimizing the performance of the system.
