    Sweden ARTROCK ArtRock Sweden 2010 En årskrönika Året 2010 präglades av ett intensivt musikliv där konserter och spelningar verkar finnas i en allt större omfattning. I de mer folkrika städerna kan man ju i princip finna något att se/höra var dag i veckan. Konkurrensen om dess publik blir då naturligtvis även den hårdare, många som vågar (en eloge till er) får också svårare att få det gå ihop ekonomiskt men eldsjälarna verkar aldrig ge sig tack och lov.

  • DEVILDRIVER AUGUST BURNS RED 25.06.2012 Stuttgart Die Röhre
    DEVILDRIVER AUGUST BURNS RED 25.06.2012 Stuttgart Die Röhre Exklusive Co-Headlinershow in Stuttgart! Seit neun Jahren mischen DEVILDRIVER aus dem kalifornischen Santa Barbara die internationale Metal-Szene mit einem frischen, originären Sound auf. Ihre Verbindung von höchst groovendem Metalcore und angrif fslustigem Melodic Death Metal fand vom Fleck weg viele Liebhaber. Mittlerweile hat sich die Band weltweit einen Namen gemacht als unkonventionelle, stets überraschende Formation, die ihre eigene Nische zwischen den zahlreichen Metal-Spielarten gefunden hat. Im Juni kommen DEVILDRIVER um den charismatischen Front- Shouter Dez Fafara für drei Konzerte nach Deutschland. Besonders aufregend verspricht ihre Co-Headliner-Show mit AUGUST BURNS RED am 25. Juni in Stuttgart zu werden. Der Erfolg von DEVILDRIVER war geradezu vorprogrammiert. Ihr Frontmann Dez Fafara blickte zum Zeitpunkt der Bandgründung im Jahr 2002 bereits auf eine viel versprechende internationale Karriere mit der NuMetal-Formation Coal Chamber. Nach drei Alben und sieben gemeinsamen Jahren löste Fafara die Band auf, als er Bassist Jon Miller, Drummer John Boecklin und Gitarrist Jeff Kendrick kennenlernte. Die beiden Musiker waren dabei, die Songs für ein erstes Album fertigzustellen, für das ihnen lediglich noch ein Frontmann fehlte. Fafara stieß hinzu und man rekrutierte mit dem zweiten Gitarristen Evan Pitts einen weiteren Mitstreiter. Gemeinsam komponierten sie komplett neues Material für das im Oktober 2002 veröffentlichte Debütalbum „DevilDriver“. Zunächst zeigte sich die einschlägige Metal-Presse verhalten. Der innovative Klang von DEVILDRIVER, der auf eine bislang ungehörte Weise den Groove des Metalcore mit der Här te und Schnelligkeit des Melodic Death Metal vereinte, musste erst seinen Weg in die Gehörgänge der Fans finden.

Ozzy Osbourne, who months earlier had to postpone a Los Angeles concert due to health issues, returned to the concert stage at the Forum full of energy and ready to count down the final minutes of the year. But before that, a stellar lineup rocked fans inside and outdoors at the Forum during a brisk but sunny afternoon. Wednesday 13 kicked off the festivities at 2:30PM, with a crew member getting in the spirit by shooting fake snow into the crowd. Their high energy set gave way to a more crushing performance from Dez Fafara and his DevilDriver crew. The moshpits started to form in the Forum parking lot as Fafara rallied the audience into a frenzy. The singer and guitarist Mike Spreitzer also showed their appreciation hanging around to meet with fans and take photos following their set. As DevilDriver came to a close, the almighty Zakk Wylde rolled up on a golf cart, greeted fans and signed autographs as he made is way to the stage. Other than Osbourne of course, Wylde may very well have been on the most Ozzfests between playing with Ozzy and Black Label Society. Wylde, fresh off the "Generation Axe" tour, played an hour-long set with his tribute band Zakk Sabbath, riffing through classics like “Snowblind,” “Into the Void,” and “N.I.B.” With the sun starting to fade, it was time to move the show indoors for the remainder of the night.

  • Coal-Chamber-9.26.11
    For Immediate Release September 25th, 2011 COAL CHAMBER Announces Plans to Reform for Australian SOUNDWAVE Shows Dez Fafara, co-founder and vocalist of 90’s alt-metal (or “spooky-core” as coined by devout fans) band COAL CHAMBER and current vocalist for DevilDriver, is announcing an upcoming reformation of the band specifically for SOUNDWAVE shows. COAL CHAMBER is highly-regarded for their countless high-energy performances with several of today’s biggest names and selling millions of albums worldwide. Dez affirms, “COAL CHAMBER is playing SOUNDWAVE Down Under! These reunion shows are for the fans that want to see us again as well as all the people that never got to see COAL CHAMBER. It is and always will be a very special part of my life, so these few shows are for those people and for us. If you’re not from Australia, better get a ticket now to come see this event!” “Australia has never seen us, nor have we seen them,” adds guitarist Meegs Rascón. “It will be an extraordinary exchange of energy and adrenaline. Hello Aussies, nice to meet you!” Formed in 1993 by Dez and Meegs, COAL CHAMBER was busy selling out venues like The Roxy in West Hollywood, bringing out bands like System of a Down and Static X, and launching a new genre of metal in Los Angeles before they were even signed to Roadrunner Records in 1995. After what seemed like endless touring, the band recorded and released their debut self-titled album in February 1997. The album went RIAA Certified Gold in the United States.
