ColumbiaClub, Berlin, Germany
5th December 2009
Coppelius, Remember Twilight, Silent Poem, Corleemad

COPPELIUS is definitely one the bands worth seeing on a stage. Their metal influenced music with usage of classical instruments like cello and clarinet could cause a heart attack to some music connoisseur two hundred years ago, but brings refreshing experience to the modern audience. Their fictive identity, originating from 19th century, manifests itself in authentic costumes from the times of E.T. Hoffmann. In this December the masters of chamber music with over three hundred years experience are bringing their cellos, cylinder and absinthe on the stage in ColumbiaClub.

Ronnie James Dio is forced to cancel the European tour, due to health problems. His wife/manager Wendy Dio explains on the website: "Ronnie has been hospitalized and we are waiting for further news. I would like to thank all of our friends and fans that have sent emails, cards, and blogs on Blabbermouth and let you know that she has passed them all on to Ronnie.

DIO's line-up for the European tour was supposed to include WHITESNAKE/ex-DIO axeman Doug Aldrich due to the fact that the band's regular guitarist, Craig Goldy, had prior touring commitments with BUDGIE in Australia. "Killing The Dragon" album from 2002 was released in June on limited-edition vinyl with a gatefold pop-up cover via Night Of The Vinyl Dead. Only 500 hand-numbered copies were manufactured.

Front 242 + Special Guests

When in 1984 the album ‘No Comment’ was released, they unintentionally became the pioneers of a completely new genre: Electronic Body Music or as it is more common nowadays EBM. Many epigones would follow them, but only little of them would leave a mark in musical history, even remotely as big as FRONT 242 did. In 1987, the ‘Official Version’ was released with which the band attracted even more interest and which spilled two successful singles with ‘Masterhit’ and ‘Quite Unusual’. That same year they supported DEPECHE MODE on their “Music for the Masses” tour which helped them to acquire an increasingly large number of loyal fans and supporters.
