Poisonblack, Battle Beast, Damaged Justice
For over 10 years, POISONBLACK is at the forefront of heavy Goth metal now and have released their latest album ‘Drive’ earlier this year. The release was the main reason for the guys to come back to Germany again to kick some asses. We thought, why not embracing the opportunity and checked them out for you.

Judas Priest
Few metal rock bands make it big. Even fewer make it big and become legends. Even fewer still are able to maintain their legendary “metal god” status for over four decades and still continue to tour, sell out and play their shows with the fresh enthusiasm that they had when they first started out. JUDAS PRIEST has been there and done all that and then some. Most other bands would have been knocked off their post long ago, so more power to JUDAS PRIEST. They’ve rightfully earned their place in metal rock history and stood their ground. www.JudasPriest.com

Thin Lizzy
Quite some time ago in a place very far away from where I am right now, there was a multi-talented young man with a dream that he was determined to make come true. The place was Dublin, Ireland, the time over 40 years ago, the man a very charismatic character that not only had extra-ordinary talents as a bass player and singer, but overwhelmingly phenomenal skills as a songwriter and lyricist. His name was Philip Parris Lynott and his dream was to form a band that had such a distinct sound made from dueling and harmonious lead guitars that it would leave an exclusive mark in the history rock music. Mr. Lynott’s dream band came true. He called it THIN LIZZY. He lived by his dream and he died by his dream, sadly only 15 years after creating it. Fortunately, Phil Lynott’s brilliant song writing skills have quite handily endured the tests of time and his legendary music continues to live on more than 25 years after his death.

[:SITD:], Architect, SAM
15 years of [:SITD:] are more than a good reason to start a celebration and where else could the band start it than where it all started many years ago. In the meantime they’ve become quite an influential factor for other bands. On that special occasion the band’s invited two guests to warm-up the crowd a little.

Textures, SiMÓN, Steak Number Eight
The Dutch formation TEXTURES is well known for producing progressive metal with mathematic precision and complexity. Over the last few years, there have been some changes in line up and atmosphere of their music. Recently, the band released their 4th studio album ‘Dualism’. Without losing their characteristic dynamics and loudness, I expect they will reach a broader range of audience with this album. In between international touring, TEXTURES found a little time for a short tour in their home country, and I’m curious what their live show will bring.
