Korpiklaani

The foundation of Korpiklaani in 2003 in Lahti, Finland brought the traditional folk music back to life. No one could have foreseen that such a large audience would be interested in Finnish and English mythological texts.

The Folk Metal band rose up from the ashes of the former act Shaman and released their debut ”Sprit Of The Forest” in November 2003 via Napalm Records. Korpiklaani quickly prepared and recorded a new album called ”Voice Of Wilderness” which came out in January 2005.

Their third album ”Tales Along This Road” was released the next year, followed by a successful promotion tour through Europe. The band kept on untiringly working on new songs, took part to the Wacken Open Air in 2006 and released both DVD and album ”Tervaskanto” in 2007.

After a few sessions in studio came out the album ”Korven Kuningas” in 2008. A music video to the song ”Keep On Gallopping” was shot and broadcast on different channels.

Even in 2009, the band didn’t lazy and released their sixth album ”Karkelo”.

After some tours and appearances in festivals, the album ”Ukon Wacka” was published in February 2011 under the label Nuclear Blast.

One year and a half after the previous release ”Ukon Wacka” came the workaholics back from their refuge in the Finnish forests to bring us into a fascinating trip in the underworld. Alongside Tuomas Rounakari, successor of former fiddler Jaakko Lemmetty, and his impressive violinist skills, Korpiklaani proudly reveal”Manala” their eighth studio album. The summarized story of Jonne gives a good of the concept behind the album: ‘Manala’ is the land of the dead, the Finnish underworld. This place has been mentionned several times in the finnish national epic ‘Kalevala’, which is the basis of many songs. In the 16th Kalavala’s poem called ‘Väinämöinen’, a shamanic hero travels into the Manala in order to acquire knowledge from the dead. He meets there a girl named ‘Tuonen tytti’ or ‘Tuonen piika’ (maid of the dead), who will make him cross the river Tuoni. However, he does not find on the island Tuoni the spells he was looking for, and could only just escape. Now, the shaman curses every survivor who tries to enter the underworld.

As special gift for every fan outside their homeland, Korpiklaani released the original finnish version of ”Manala” with a bonus CD including the album in English in August 2012.

The band came back once again from the Finnish forests in May 2015 to deliver their new effort ”Noita”. It is the first album featuring newcomer Sami Perttula and his accordion, after Juho Kauppinen left the band. As well as fiddler Tuomas Rounakari, Sami was very involved in folk arrangements. The album was once again recorded at the Petrax Studios with producer Aksu Hanttu.

In 2017, they released their debut DVD/Blu-Ray “Live at Masters of Rock”. This debut release captures everything they stand for; pure live energy, combined with their tales of Shamanic history and Finnish culture, to their world-renowned drinking habits which have been immortalised in a few songs dedicated to their favourite drinks.

Jonne was not just behind the editing of this release, he also took on the duties of mixing. As a knowledgable fan of music DVD’s he spent a lot of time working with the mastering legend Svante Forsbäck, who recently mastered the RAMMSTEIN DVD, ensuring that the perfect ambience and surround mix was achieved. Jonne‘s goal was to make the viewer feel like you are right there, live in the middle of the crowd.

»Live at Masters of Rock« was filmed in 2016, capturing the band’s performance at Masters of Rock Festival in Vizovice, Czech Republic. The performance was also a special event for another reason, achieving another of the band’s visions; Tero Hyväluoma (second fiddle) and Toni Perttula (second accordion and identical twin of Sami) both joined the Finnish masters live on stage, making it an unforgettable and unique folk show. Korpiklaani’s vision of a bigger production is to have more folk musicians on stage with them. As Sami joked, having more folk musicians is a lot cheaper than pyro. He convinced his brother to play this show for just a few beers and Toni does not drink much…

Jonne comments, “This is our first ever DVD release, which we are very proud of. It has no backing tracks, no choirs, no samples, and all of the mistakes are included. It is just us, Korpiklaani, pure live rock ‘n’ roll.”

Korpiklaani have set the standard for entertaining any audience, no matter their age, musical preference or style. Korpiklaani will get you dancing no matter what!

Deicide

Deicide are a death metal band from Florida, U.S. who have been wreaking havoc and stirring controversy since inception in 1987.

Combichrist

Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, Combrichrist are amongst the most well known names in the aggrotech scene, blending industrial metal influences with hardstyle trance and techno.

Satyricon

Formed in Oslo in 1991, Satyricon made an immediate and enduring impact when they emerged from the flourishing Norwegian black metal scene. An idiosyncratic and fervently non-conformist creative force from the start, chief songwriter and vocalist Satyr and his percussive right-hand-man Frost made perpetual evolution and a noble disdain for the banality of much modern music essential tenets of their artistic approach. Having refined and redefined the second wave of black metal with early albums like Dark Medieval Times and The Shadowthrone, Satyricon screeched away from their peers in 1996 with the release of the widely acclaimed Nemesis Divina, simply one of /the/ classic ‘90s black metal albums and a mercurial blueprint for much of what would follow as the genre progressed into a new millennium.

From 1999’s vicious, industrial-tinged Rebel Extravaganza onwards, it was obvious that Satyr and Frost had no interest in toeing the black metal party line. Instead, via noisily acclaimed triumphs like 2006’s stripped down and seething Now, Diabolical and its pitch-black follow-up The Age Of Nero in 2008, Satyricon were proudly forging their own unique path, on a never-ending quest to express the inexpressible and to tap into the dark spiritual depths of 21st century humanity.

By the time the band released their self-titled album in 2013, their reputation as one of modern metal’s most vital, important and forward-thinking bands was way beyond dispute and routinely backed up by their unerring prowess and power as a live band.

2017 saw the release of their latest and greatest musical achievement, Deep calleth upon Deep.

Heaven Shall Burn

Heaven Shall Burn, the metalcore band founded in Thuringia, Germany in 1996, has evolved into one of the most influential forces in the international metal scene. Comprising Marcus Bischoff (vocals), Maik Weichert (guitar), Alexander Dietz (guitar), Eric Bischoff (bass) and Christian Bass (drums), they have gained global recognition for their aggressive sound and politically charged lyrics.

Their 2008 album "Iconoclast (Part 1: The Final Resistance)" solidified their reputation as an innovative force in the metalcore genre. This success continued with subsequent records such as "VETO" (2013) and "Wanderer" (2016), both of which propelled them to the top positions of international charts. Their latest release, "Of Truth And Sacrifice" (2020), not only reached number one in their home country Germany but also led to headlining performances at major metal festivals worldwide, including Wacken Open Air and Summer Breeze Open Air.

This connection to the broader metal community emphasized their enduring relevance in the scene. The band not only sets musical standards but also actively engages in social and political causes, with a focus on human and animal rights. Through their passionate dedication to music and unwavering commitment, Heaven Shall Burn remains a driving force and undoubtedly stands as one of the most influential metal bands of their generation.

Cro Mags

The Cro-Mags were a band from New York City formed in 1982. The band, which had a strong cult following, released many records, their first two considered the most influential. They were among the first bands to fuse hardcore punk with thrash metal and were associated with the birth of a tougher attitude within the hardcore scene in the late 1980s. They were also one of the first hardcore punk bands associated with the Hare Krishna movement.

They first released a demo with songs that would eventually find themselves on their debut album The Age Of Quarrel (1986). The bass player Harley Flanagan and singer John Joseph were not the best of friends and eventually Joseph would part ways with the band leaving Harley to sing on the following Cro-Mags release. After The Age of Quarrel, the band released the record Best Wishes (1989). The record had a more heavy metal-influenced sound which alienated many of their fans. The band released another record Alpha Omega (1992), that saw the return of Joseph, and the departure of guitarist and songwriter Parris Mitchell Mayhew, a record that was only embraced by the most devoted of their fanbase, and followed by Near Death Experience (1993). After suffering from many lineup changes and frequent breakups, the group finally disbanded, seemingly for the last time, after this record. However, in 2000 they released a record that would almost make up for their past two releases. With Revenge the Cro-Mags came back to their early hardcore roots with songs that were comparable to their first release plus some songs with a more melodic/punk rock feel. After the release of Revenge the band broke up once again, and the internal hostility amongst band members (mainly between Mayhew and Flanagan) has never been resolved.

Doro

DORO PESCH - the phenomenal career of the Metal Queen

Doro Pesch already knew at the age of three that she wanted to be a singer. The initial spark was "Lucille" by Little Richard, which ignited a fire in Doro that still burns to this day. Doro wants to conquer the world with music and make people happy. At 16 she has her first band Snakebite. Beast and Attack follow and the big breakthrough with Warlock. The debut album "Burning The Witches" was released in 1983 and immediately won the hearts of metal fans worldwide. A major label immediately became aware of the band and Warlock switched from Mausoleum Records to Phonogram (today Universal). After the second record "Hellbound" the first successful European tours followed. In the course of the third album "True As Steel", Doro is the first front woman at the legendary "Monsters Of Rock" festival in 1986 in Castle Donington, England, and is frenetically celebrated. The first mega tour with Judas Priest in Europe and W.A.S.P. in England followed. "True As Steel" was also the band"s first worldwide release, including the USA. Since it has always been Doro"s great desire to conquer the USA, she goes on a promotional tour there. After two days, Doro falls in love with New York City and stays in America.

She works on her most successful album up to that point in time, "Triumph And Agony", with immortal hits such as "All We Are" and "Für Immer". The impressive video clips are shot by famous directors: "All We Are" is filmed in the L.A. River Basin, where well-known scenes from "Terminator 2" were also filmed, "Für Immer" is impressively staged in the swamps of Louisiana. The videos caused a sensation internationally and are shown on MTV on heavy rotation in the USA, where Doro also appears as a host on several occasions. In addition, "Triumph And Agony" is supported by a US tour with Megadeth and a European tour with Ronnie James Dio and achieves gold status. The follow-up "Force Majeure", released under the name Doro, is also immediately certified gold. The accompanying singles "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" and "Hard Times" are again being implemented in L.A. by great film and video directors.

After that, another dream comes true for Doro as a big Kiss fan. The album "Doro" is produced by none other than Gene Simmons in New York and L.A.

Further productions with famous producers in Nashville, New York and New Jersey followed with "True At Heart", "Angels Never Die" and "Machine II Machine" and the first live album "Doro Live".

Then it"s back to New York, where Doro works for three years on one of her favorite albums - "Love Me In Black". The title track turns out to be another classic in Doro"s repertoire.

The following production "Calling The Wild" features Doro"s first duet with another icon, Lemmy Kilmister from Motörhead. The friendship between the two grows so much that they tour together, perform at many festivals together, celebrate various anniversaries together and record more great duets over the years. The last one is the heartbreaking "It Still Hurts" on Doro"s album "Raise Your Fist". Doro also releases an elaborate work with the "Classic Night Orchestra" entitled "Classic Diamonds" and also plays an opulent headliner show at the Wacken Open Air, where she has been a guest about twenty times to date, including many headlining shows.

After many more album and DVD/Blu-ray releases, soundtracks for film productions and the again very successful double album "Forever Warriors - Forever United", Doro starts her very successful own label Rare Diamonds Productions. Her releases include the German-language work "Für Immer", the triple album "Magic Diamonds", the cinema film and soundtrack "Anuk – The Path Of The Warrior" and the recent "Triumph And Agony Live".

In 2022, Doro was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award, having already received an Echo, the Metal Goddess Legend Award in Las Vegas, the Legend Award in England and Germany, the Angel Of Rock Award in England and awards as the sexiest woman alive, among others. She has also been voted Best Female Vocalist in Spain for 30 years and was inducted into the Hall Of Heavy Metal History in the United States.

Doro has given over 3,000 concerts in more than 60 countries.

She is currently working on a new album with many anthems and next year will celebrate her 40th stage anniversary at the world"s biggest festivals.

At the end of the festivities, Doro will play another unforgettable concert for her fans in her old hometown in Düsseldorf, where it all started, on October 28, 2023 in the Mitsubishi Electric Halle with many friends and companions.

2023 will be a very special year for the Queen Of Metal - Doro Pesch!
