Alae Noctis!! The Spanish Darkwave band fights back with its new project, "CYBORGS". An album full of dark industrial rhythms and atmospheres which project in mind the bloody war between the machine and the mankind, in that apocalyptic universe which inspires the subject of its lyrics. GUITAR SYNTH RULES!!!!
ALTER BRIDGE is a story of success lasting a decade. The ancestor band CREED was leading the Rock charts several times and sold more than 25 million albums worldwide. In 2004 the band and singer Scott Stapp parted ways. A few months later, the remaining members with their new singer Myles Kennedy founded ALTER BRIDGE and continued the worldwide success. Both albums 'One Day Remains' and 'Blackbird' climbed up to the upper regions of international charts. The successor is announced for September. Afterwards ALTER BRIDGE will be hitting the road for a world tour, leading them to Dortmund on 29th November. Tickets are available as of tomorrow through the fan club and as of Wednesday on http://www.eventim.de/
For over 10 years, Welsh STEREOPHONICS is one spearhead of British rock music. Ever since their second album ‘Performance & Cocktails’ from 1999, every successor has been reaching #1 of the British charts. Countless awards underpin the unique standing of this band, founded in 1992. No time has passed since that fateful year, where that formation hasn’t convinced with their brilliant, unpretentious Brit Rock. In the midst of November 2009, they’ve finally released their next album ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ to the public. After their successful tour at the beginning of the year, the band will come back between 28th June and 5th July for 3 shows in Dortmund on 28th June, Wiesbaden and Stuttgart.
Checking out another brand-new song off HEAVEN SHALL BURN’s upcoming album is easy: For “Combat” you just need to click on http://www.myspace.com/officialheavenshallburn to listen to some more and slightly unusual tunes from Thüringen’s heaviest export in metal. Maik Weichert (guitars): “Here is the next foretaste of our new album. After launching “The Omen”, that was a typical HSB song, the next new track, “Combat”, is probably a bit more unusual for us. Still, we are very proud about it, it is straight in your face which is what it’s all about! The song is about child soldiers which is a social injustice that isn’t dealt with or even acknowledged in several countries in the world.”
The waiting is over now...The new Minerve album is going to be releases in may by Gravitator Records (Russia and GIS) and in autumn this year by Echozone (Europe and worldwide).
