Coppelius, Punch N'Judy
Nothing particular is known of this mysterious band. If you take a look on their homepage you can find a "concertography" dating back until the early 19th century but the first known appearance of COPPELIUS was the farewell tour of THE INCHTABOKTABLES where they had the support slot. They also performed as support for Mila Mar, Mutabor, Fiddler's Green and others in 2003 & 2004.

Stahlmann, Lord of the Lost
STAHLMANN gained some popularity by touring with acts like SALTATIO MORTIS, DORO, and IN EXTREMO and in a little more than two years the German trio already released an EP, two singles and the self-titled debut album followed by a tour with EISBRECHER. Some popularity might be an understatement by now, admittedly. Considerable would be far more accurate I guess.

Gwar, Sister, Collapse
GWAR, the "Scumbags of the Universe", with their imaginative monster dresses alone can charm crowds for hours. Just imagine the result when adding with extraordinary live shows, including frequently fights, fire breathing or humorous re-enacting of politically and morally taboo themes.

Empyrium, Dornenreich
EMPYRIUM started as a symphonic folk doom metal band from Franconia founded in 1994 by Markus Stock and Andreas Bach, but later Markus separated from Andreas Bach and took Thomas Helm as his partner. Their first two albums, 'A Wintersunset' and 'Songs of Moors and Misty Fields', can be considered doom metal with folk and symphonic influences. EMPYRIUM combine harsh and operatic male vocals with deep slow guitar parts and atmospheric keys.

Rearmament of THE PROPHECY 23. The new weapons: MARIO (Bass) and PHIL (Death Vocals). THE PROPHECY 23 is already presenting two new members while one or two are still speculating about the replacement of Tobias: MARIO MACARONI is following the 23rd Prophecy as their new bassist and PHIL HECKEL will unite his rough Death Vocals with the Thrash Vocals of Hannes to a powerful unit. The new guys already showed their unruly live-action during the “Tour The Pit 2010”, when they already stepped in for Tobias. Now they are officially in!
