Saltatio Mortis
SALTATIO MORTIS is a band with two faces. For one there are the medieval minstrels playing medieval market music on various medieval instruments but there’s also the other face: Loud, timeless, cheeky, critical, political, and never predictable - That’s the rock formation SALTATIO MORTIS! After in summer 2007, they’ve released their best album so far with ‘Aus der Asche’ the seven medieval rockers around “Alea der Bescheidene” embarked on extensive club and festival tour. With a new album in the pipeline they’re now coming back to us for the ‘Wer Wind sät’ tour 2009 and stop at Cologne’s Live Music Hall.

KMFDM
20 studio albums, 25 singles and EPs, numerous live albums, DVDs, constant top rankings in the German Alternative Charts and much more speak a clear language about the long-time flagship of the legendary Chicago-based label Wax Trax: KMFDM, founded in 1984 in Hamburg today belong more than ever to the active leaders of the scene so it was just this year when – besides the complete re-release of their back catalogue - their new studio album ‘Blitz’ was released. At the beginning of the 90s KMFDM contributed to various film scores like Mortal Kombat, Johnny Mnemonic, Hellraiser II, or Michael Bay’s action spectacle Bad Boys with the hit ‘Juke Joint Jezebel’. Furthermore KMFDM are working as very popular remixers. Besides bands such as WHITE ZOMBIE, COMBICHRIST, FRONT 242 and DIE KRUPPS have been working already for the likes of MEGADETH, RAMMSTEIN, METALLICA and produced one album for BAUHAUS singer Peter Murphy.
