Slipknot

Last year, after a six-year break, one of the probably most uncompromising alternative metal line-ups of the past two decades came back: SLIPKNOT! The band from Des Moines, Iowa, that has played itself into the league of hardness with their brute and angry sound, returned to its former strength with ‘5: The Gray Chapter’. The album, which was released at the end of 2014, took the number one position at the US billboard charts and #2 in Germany and Great Britain. It's also a last salute to their bassist Paul Gray who passed away. After stunning live shows this February, SLIPKNOT are returning back to Germany to play another four shows between January 28 and February 6 in Leipzig, Munich, Dusseldorf, and Frankfurt.

The way little Greece manages to challenge big Germany and whole Europe, is one thing. But how one can make use of the tension between both countries in a musical way is perfectly shown by the Greek-German couple Eleni Zafiriadou and Daniel Benjamin from SEA + AIR. Recently, their second album, ‘Evropi’ (‘Europe’ in Greek), has been released through the label Glitterhouse. On the album, which immediately made #49 in the German charts, SEA + AIR weave impressions of their tour across 22 countries, which lasted through years, together with Eleni Zafiriadou's family history that is almost one hundred years old.
