Anticipation is known to be the greatest joy: fans of the cultivated Dark Metal should therefore already mark the autumn 2022 firmly in their calendars: From the end of September next year, the Portuguese Gothic Metal pioneers from MOONSPELL are going on an extensive European tour - at the same time they are celebrating their 30th anniversary! With MY DYING BRIDE, BORKNAGAR, WOLFHEART and HINAYANA they have a more than top-class tour package with them!

The cult band around front man Fernando Ribeiro has had a major impact on the Dark Metal scene since their beginnings. Their roots are in Black Metal, but MOONSPELL quickly established their very own sound character, which they have now enriched with very progressive elements. Their penchant for theatrics, their dark and occult orchestral sound atmosphere and captivating melodies are legendary. Founded at the end of the 80s, MOONSPELL have lost none of their topicality to this day: their current album ‘Hermitage’ went straight to number 19 in the German charts this year!

Deine Lakaien - “Dual” Tour

Is there anybody who is member of or close to the Gothic culture and has not heard about DEINE LAKAIEN? I am pretty sure this is not possible. Founded in 1985 by Alexander Veljanov (vocals) and Ernst Horn (instruments), they are one of the most important and well-known dark wave bands and have a big fan community all over the world. Both band members are responsible for the writing of the texts, which often deal with dark and melancholic themes. Their live events are always an event and sometimes even performed with a classical orchestra.
