Festivalpark ‘Stenehei’, Dessel, Belgium
28th to 30th June 2013
Iron Maiden, In Flames, Korn, Stone Sour, Bullet for my Valentine, King diamond, Parkway Drive, Saxon, Testament, Coal Chamber, and many more
This year’s 18th edition of Graspop Metal Meeting takes place from 28-30 June in Dessel, Belgium. Over the years an impressive list of over 400 bands have played at this famous metal festival. The event was not originally a heavy metal festival; rather, it was conceived as a local family festival. In 1995, the headliners billed were JOE COCKER and SIMPLE MINDS. Unfortunately, the number of visitors dropped dramatically and Founder Peter Van Geel realized that mainstream rock music held insufficient appeal to festival visitors.

Vocalist extraordinaire Paul D'Adamo is no stranger to the world of Phil Collins and Genesis. His debut CD 'Tell Me Something' not only showcases a mixture of original compositions and re-done, lesser known classics by Phil Collins and Genesis, but also features essentially the core of Phil Collins's touring band: Brad Cole, Leland Sklar, Daryl Stuermer, Chester Thompson, Luis Conte, Arnold McCuller, Amy Keys, Lynne Fiddmont, and renowned jazz saxophonist Gerald Albright (who also worked with the Phil Collins Big Band). Of course, many members of Phil's touring band are active session players, and there have been projects where a couple of them have played together, but 'Tell Me Something' represents the first time almost all of Phil Collins's entire ensemble of musicians have come together on a project...without Phil Collins!- Details

Don’t fear the silence - discover the difference
On 22 February 2013 THE BEAUTY OF GEMINA are releasing their new - and currently 5th - studio album, for the first time in a fully acoustic guise. It is a compilation of re-interpretations of existing songs and new song material. Unplugged CDs are popular with many bands, the concept is renowned. And yet there are quite many changes in this one by THE BEAUTY OF GEMINA. In THE MYRRH SESSIONS the band literally reinvents itself and celebrates their music passionately. Musical boundaries of genre are at times joyfully fathomed and skilfully crossed. Influences from Indie, Alternative, Goth, Americana, Folk and Blues merge with the innate and typical song structures of THE BEAUTY OF GEMINA to create a surprisingly new entity, convincing and constantly on a high musical level.
