Former Nightwish singer TARJA TURUNEN has confirmed a one-off headline concert at the O2 Islington Academy in London, England on October 19, 2009 — the very last date of her "Final Storm Tour 2009". Tarja Turunen has set "What Lies Beneath" as the working title of her new solo CD, tentatively due before the end of the year. She says, " With 'My Winter Storm' (2007) , I chose the name of the album in the early stages and that helped me to create the concept for the album. With the new album, I decided to do it the same way, so I searched for an inspiring title and all the songs are one way or another related to it."

On 06/12/09 we will release in collaboration with Danse Macabre the album "Silent Green" of the German Dark-Ambient-Project ART NOIR. ART NOIR is a project of Jan Weber, the film composer and former member of IMPRESSIONS OF WINTER. Succeeding the debut `Flügel` and a co-production with Carlos Perón, the new record, called `Silent Green´, opens up to a new musical dimension.
The opening song, called `Dark Temple`, evokes memories of masterpieces by LUSTMORD and AH CAMA SOTZ. Dark Ambient-collages similar to DELERIUM and RAISON D´ETRE (´Take the blue pill´) are lighted up by journeys into different worlds of sound. "Heavenly Voices" (`Silent Green`, `Brother of sleep`) and "Burlesque" (`Mental`) are only two examples for that.

CHILDREN OF BODOM was forced to cancel several shows on the No Fear Energy Tour with Lam of God, due to injuries sustained by guitarist and frontman Alexi Laiho. Laiho broke his shoulder in April when he was ejected from his tour bus bunk after the vehicle took a sharp turn. Laiho and the rest of COB were touring North America in support of the band's critically acclaimed album "Blooddrunk".Against recommendation, Laiho had decided to "bite the bullet" and remain on tour, wearing the arm in a sling to restrict movement at all times when he was not on stage. But after performing ten live dates with both the broken shoulder and internal bleeding, the toll became too much for the guitar hero to endure and the band made the decision to cut its tour short, placing Laiho's longterm health as its first priority.

Rock’n’Roll is still the chief. Recent proof: The successes of games such as “Guitar Hero” or “‘Rock Band”. The multi player mode is undoubtedly the premier competition, where the players have to play together like a band which never works out infinitivally even at the lowest difficulty level. However, the masses get an idea of how tough this must be.And now there’s WITHOUT WAX. Four young guys devoting their spare time to making ‘real’ music for some years now! Nothing’s better than the real thing and so it happened that in the first moment they’re granted with a little smile which soon froze on their lips, astonished by the professionalism the band puts on display.
