Wolves in the Throne Room

WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM from the US have established a unique standing in the Metal scene by crafting their most distinctive mixture of Nordic Black Metal with elements of Thrash Metal, Postrock, Shoegaze and on several occasions even Ambient. Actually redundant to say that cocktail is far off from being an easy listening adventure, and most likely the reason why the band's recognition remained at a comparatively low level first , until the second album 'Two Hunters' and most notably the latest full-length release 'Black Cascade' from 2009 pushed their reputation to an international scale. Tours through Europe, including Germany, followed and now they're coming back to the Krauts to sweep them away at Gleis 22 in Münster.

KISS, Wolfmother

With over 85 Mio sold records, KISS have written one of the most exciting chapters in Rock history. Their explosive performances in Sci-Fi costumes, with distinct make-up and on the already legendary plateau boots have become a trademark of KISS, nominated for the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame. After 35 years, since the start of the legendary "Stadium Rock" in New York, the new songs taken off the 'Sonic Boom' record are proof of the ever ingenious creativity of that band. It is a sonic, stylistic cross-section through the admittedly long career of one of the most shimmering groups in the rock business.

Motorpsycho

MOTORPSYCHO from Trondheim, Sweden, chose to walk the harder path instead of striving for mainstream commercial success. Already their first album 'Lobotomizer' contains a plethora of influences coming together, most notably on such songs like 'Hogwash' or 'Eternity'. The coming years would make the progressive elements in their music take more and more room and displace the Metal influences almost completely. Psychedelic Rock, Jazz, even Country devices would become majorly audible, gaining them a high reputation with ambitious listeners and critics over the years.

The Prodigy

THE PRODIGY is back, more present than ever and they're stoked to do what they can do better than anyone else: Raving! Their current album 'Invaders Must Die' was hard proof to the entire world that they've lost nothing of their power and still are able to push an entire audience into ecstasy. 'Invaders Must Die' sold over 1 Mio copes by now and if that's not proof of the quality than what is? The band thrills the masses worldwide with spectacular live shows, turning every ordinary concert into a voluptuous party and every festival into a mind-bending Techno Rave orgy. A good 35,000 people attended the shows during last year's tour and especially the festival appearances left long-lasting impressions.
