Hypocrisy, Survivors Zero

Fans of Pete Tägtgren’s HYPOCRISY had to starve for many years until there was an announcement concerning the eventual release of some new material. But in October 2009, the band released their fourth disc ‘A Taste of Extreme Divinity’, and that was good news in more than just one way. A new album regularly also means that a tour is going to follow where the album’s being extensively supported. Now that time has come and the band promises their fans a more than proper piece of Death Metal, a matured programme reflecting the development of the band which started in 1990 as the solo project of Peter Tägtgren, a multi-talent when it comes to music.

Element of Crime

They are one of Germany’s outstanding bands. We’re talking about ELEMENT OF CRIME, a band that hasn’t just released some legendary songs but has written rock history with a few album’s worth of great music like ‘Try To Be Mensch’ (1987), ‘Damals hinterm Mond’ (1991), ‘Weißes Papier’ (1993), ‘Romantik’ (2001) and ‘Mittelpunkt der Welt’ (2005). Since 1985, the Berlin-based band keeps working on perfecting their very special folk-inflicted rock songs with the wonderful lyrics. With ‘Mittelpunkt der Welt’, they’re even certified gold for the first time in their long career.

Peter Heppner & Band

For 20 years, Heppner is known as the front man of one of the most successful and most influential bands of the recent German music history. With the Electro Pop and Dark Wave act WOLFSHEIM, he accomplished everything that’s possible: Still present radio hit singles (Kein Zurück, Once In A Lifetime, Find You’re Here, Blind), awards for the albums and their top chart placements (Casting Shadows, Spectators), headliner performances on big festivals and sold-out tours in Europe and the US + the highest reward, the music industry has to offer: The ‘Echo’; and all this on a small, independent label without losing the indie credibility or making compromises.

Paradise Lost, Samael

Over the course of their long-lasting career, PARADISE LOST did not only prove influential and style-forming, but also very open-minded. So the band quickly rose away from the sinister, rough doom of the debut album ‘Lost Paradise’ (1990) and took the daring balancing act between atmospheric electronics and hard rock sound on the albums ‘One Second’ (1997), ‘Host’ (1999), the impressing ‘Paradise Lost (2005) and ‘In Requiem’ (2007). But regardless of all musical changes, they never lost the spectral melodies and power of their dark metal.
