Insomnium – Winter’s Gate European Tour 2017

Finland is an evocative land. The very mention of it conjures visions of endless darkness, long, cold wintry nights and an almost oppressive bleakness. It is within this icy cauldron that the soul of INSOMNIUM was born. Their music is as epic as it is melodic, as melancholic as it is majestic and as brutal as it is beautiful. To call INSOMNIUM a Death Metal band is to do them a grave disservice.

I Heart Sharks

How about some "German-British Post-Pop from Berlin"? The members of I HEAR SHARKS, Pierre Bee (vocals), Simon Wangemann (guitar), Martin Wolf (drums), and Craig Miller (bass) describe themselves as “Two English boys. One German boy. One lost boy.” And what to these boys want? – “We want to marry Björk in a valley in Iceland. We want to run through the moss on high heels with Karin Dreijer. We want to pretend to be a polar bear with Grauzone, because then we wouldn't have to cry. We want to visit Vienna with Midge Ure, Rome with Performance and check if there's life on Mars with David Bowie. We want to live on a farm with Jeans Team, and teach Orlando Weeks some kind words whilst he brushes his teeth. We want to sleep in Metropolis.” And obviously, they want to present their latest album ‘Hideout’, which has been out since November 11, live on stage.

Einstürzende Neubauten

It was back in 1980, when Blixa Bargeld began the eternal quest for the still undiscovered sound under the name of EINSTÜRZENDE NEUBAUTEN. This November, the band's first, long-awaited ‘Greatest Hits’ album was released. It is a successful, carefully selected, and "audiolicious" cross-section that represents 35 years of the band's work. All of the songs are remastered and ‘Haus der Lüge’ is also remixed. As originally intended - but was not possible at the time for a lack of financial resources - this piece is now enhanced with string and wind instruments. Of course, the title ‘Greatest Hits’ should be taken in the ironic, tongue-in-cheek spirit in which it is intended.

• God in a Cone

This December, "Coneheads" all over the world are rejoicing as mastermind Nikos Marinos releases his second record titled `The Sex is Fear´ under the banner of GOD IN A CONE. Since Nick has unleashed his debut album `Agrypnia´ this September - yeah, do the math - three things are absolutely certain: First, this talented musician bursts with creativity. As Nick told us in our interview, he recorded the debut in just a month and only two months later he offers his second opus. Second, Nick's genre-bending solo project stands for originality, soothing next to intense moods, and truly exceptional vocals. It's all about "experimental sounds without musical boundaries!" Third, if you're a music lover who's into Grunge/ Death Metal/ Industrial/ Electro/ Goth Rock and whatnot looking for well-written and interesting tunes, chances are very high you'll become immediately a Conehead once you listen to any GOD IN A CONE song - and every single one of them is impressive and worth checking out, trust me!
