• Eden Weint Im Grab

After a two-year production time the upcoming seventh studio album of Eden Weint Im Grab is being finetuned these days in Berlin based Winter Solitude studio. The title will be „Na(c)htodreise" and it is the first concept album of the German Dark Metal band. The 15 songs are like a journey through the hereafter and the underworld – just like the „Divina Commedia" by the Italian poet Dante Alighieri. Every song stands for a station on an imaginary afterworld map. According to the band the new album will be heavier than the previous records „Geysterstunde I" (2011) and „Geysterstunde II" (2014), but still with lots of musical surprises, a huge stylistic variety and a strong chamber music influence. „Na(c)htodreise" will be released via the German label Einheit Produktionen on March 31st 2017. Further details to be revealed soon!

• Anneke van Giersbergen
• Vuur

Renowned Dutch vocalist Anneke van Giersbergen has announced the formation of a brand new band under the name of VUUR, created as a vehicle for the heavy progressive metal side of her career. Watch an introduction to VUUR here: https://youtu.be/xtrkfkTM3Wk

In early 2016, Anneke decided for the sake of clarity to narrow her musical focus, choosing to go in a folk acoustic direction as a solo artist and in a heavy progressive metal direction as a band vocalist. The name VUUR - translated from Dutch as "fire", which can also be interpreted to mean "passion" or "drive" - was chosen as a moniker to represent Anneke's metal side, with the idea that when fans buy a ticket with the VUUR name on it they will be getting her heavy progressive music, while an Anneke van Giersbergen show will be entirely different. Thus, in order to give VUUR's kick-off the proper fanfare, Anneke has opted to take a break from performing in the first half of 2017.

“This is the beginning of THE END!” It started nearly five decades ago with a crack of thunder, a distant bell ringing and then that monstrous riff that shook the earth.

Now it ENDS, the final German show EVER by the greatest Metal band of all time: the almighty BLACK SABBATH. Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler are coming to Cologne to close the final chapter in the final volume of the incredible BLACK SABBATH story.
