"The time has come for us to move on. Some of us have recently reached a new chapter in their lives, starting families, buying houses and pursuing other careers to make it all happen. Writing music, touring and leaving home for months at a time is slowly becoming impossible because of that. We all decided that it’d be best to pull the plug now and end things right. It’s hard to believe we started this band almost 10 years ago already. At first, Despised Icon was mostly just an excuse to hang out, write brutal slam riffs and play local shows once in a while. With your support, we got the opportunity to actually play music for a living, make friends around the world, be MVPs and travel to places we never even dreamed of visiting in our lifetime. Thank you all for some of the best times of our lives.

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.
