Lynyed Skynyrd

Originally, US-American Rock band LYNYRD SKYNYRD was founded already in 1964 as a Blues-Rock septet. In 1977, the band - which counts to the most important representatives of the Southern-Rock by now - split up after a plane crash, where besides singer Ronnie van Zant also guitarist Steve Gaines, his sister Cassie Gaines and the band’s manager Dean Kilpatrick died. In 1987, the band came together again, originally merely for a Reunion tour. But then they decided to move on once more on a continuing basis and published new albums over and over again.

Epica plus guests: ‘Requiem For The Indifferent' Tour

EPICA is a Metal band from the Netherlands founded in 2002. Their classically stamped music is a mixture of Symphonic Metal with elements of Gothic Metal. Their lyrics are mostly about religious-critical subjects, as for example religious fanaticism or the search for truth. After heavy illness of the singer Simone Simons as well as several changes of band members and label, in 2009 their first live album 'The Classical Conspiracy' appeared. On the album you’ll find the recording of a concert in Hungary with which they were supported by an orchestra and a choir. Moreover, it still contains adaptations of classical songs and movie soundtracks.

DAF & Tyske Ludder

DAF (Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft) is a band that can be counted amongst the pioneers and influences for such genres as Electro Punk, Techno or the so called “Neue Deutsche Härte”. The unpolished, raw sound they’ve developed should as well be defining for the emerging EBM genre. The album ‘Die Kleinen und die Bösen’ from 1980 can be named as prime example for this and was and is a milestone for the EBM movement, released by Daniel Miller’s Mute label. Shrank to the duo Robert Görl / Gabi Delgado-López, the band continued working on new material which found its way on the two albums ‘Alles ist gut’ (1981) and ‘Für Immer’ (1982) with which they finally made their breakthrough.
