Heute ist es nun also wirklich so weit: Psychorizon feiert zehnjähriges Jubiläum! Wer hätte das gedacht, also ich selbst wohl am aller wenigsten! Leider waren die vergangenen zwei Jahre recht ereignislos und bisher ist noch nicht absehbar, wann die Veranstaltungsbranche wieder zur alten bzw. neuen Stärken gelangen wird. Somit steht auch in den Sternen, wann und unter welchen Umständen es endlich wieder Berichterstattung von Konzerten und Festivals geben wird und ob sich Ende 2021 für mich ein weiterer Kreis schließen wird. Denn kurz nach Weihnachten 2020 habe ich mir eine Karte für die 'Irish Christmas Tour' von Angelo Kelly & Family gekauft und werde mit ganz viel Glück zusammen mit allen seinen 40. Geburtstag am 23.12.2021 in der Dortmunder Westfalenhalle feiern können. Wer Psychorizon intensiv verfolgt, weiß wahrscheinlich, dass mein allererstes Konzert am 23.12.1994 in Duisburg die Kelly Family war und wer im Kopf rechnen kann, wird feststellen, dass es Angelos 13. Geburtstag war. Aber genug der warmen Worte, denn es geht heute um jede Menge großartige Momente und da ich in den vergangenen zehn Jahren genug geschrieben habe, möchte ich einfach Bilder für mich sprechen lassen. In diesem Sinne: Auf die nächsten zehn und hoffentlich ganz viele neue Highlights.

Beim Wiedersehen mit 'Sexy Jexi' und meinem Tagesausflug zum Hammer Of Doom 2013, gab es ganz viel Liebe. Mindestens genauso herzlich und herzig war es auch im Folgejahr auf dem RHF sowie 2017, als ich es endlich geschafft habe, Electric Wizard live zu sehen. Dank bester Plätze in der ersten Reihe, wurde die Kölner Live Music Hall an diesem Abend zur Love Music Hall und ich völlig verzaubert von der großartigen Liz Buckingham. Zu guter Letzt gibt es noch den kompletten Mitschnitt des Blues Pills Auftritts beim RHF 2014. Neben Jex Thoth, The Devil's Blood und Blood Ceremony, eine der Bands, die ich am meisten verfolgt und auf der Bühne bewundern durfte. Leider finde ich vom RHF 2014 kein gutes Video der jungen Schweden, dort wäre ich sogar selbst bei Abrocken zu sehen.

Three months and three days into 2019 and so far there’s not too much on my schedule. But with spring ahead, some really decent tours are on the horizon and some will even head my way. While US-audiences always seem to get a much bigger piece of the cake, there’s no reason to complain on my end.

Kicking off 13 days from today, Sweden’s Lucifer will cross the big pond for an extended North-American tour with very special guests Spell. Furthermore the band will join forces with The Hellacopters to glance Europe with their collective Rock’n’Roll shenanigans.

Lucifer & The Hellacopters 

13.05. Cologne, Germany, E – Werk

14.05. Hamburg, Germany, Markthalle

15.05. Berlin, Germany, Astra

16.05. Copenhagen, Denmark, Vega

And as the US will be welcoming yet another amazing tour package featuring King Dude and Maggot Heart, traveling the opposite direction, will be none other than Coven. After I missed out on their headlining appearance at Roadburn 2017 as well as the entire tour last year, I hope to finally catch of with Jinx Dawson and her fellow musicians as they return to European soil this summer.

Teaming up again this year will be Iceland’s finest The Vintage Caravan and Belgium’s very own Black Mirrors. After the first part of The Gateways tour last year, the two bands will hit the road once more throughout April and early May. Two years ago on this day, Black Mirrors released their eponymous debut EP. Their full-length followup “Look Into The Black Mirror” came out on August 30th, 2018. With their third album at hand, The Vintage Caravan will also be supporting Swedish Heavy Metal outlaws Bullet for a few selected dates.

 

LUCIFER – Sharing The Magic & Casting A Spell On Europe This Fall

Kicking off a month from today, magically infused Rock revelation Lucifer will cast a Spell on Europe this fall. Lucifer is a multinational Heavy Rock band from Stockholm. Founded in 2014 in Berlin by The Oath front woman Johanna Sadonis who had then parted ways with former band mate Linnéa Olsson (Maggot Heart) just as their praiseworthy debut saw the light of day. Lucifer is defined by their very heavy 1970s Hard Rock sound, spiced with a good dose of Proto Heavy Metal and Doom Rock. Main influences are groups such as Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Blue Öyster Cult, Lucifer’s Friend, Steppenwolf, 70’s Heart and Fleetwood Mac. With a shift of constellation within the band in 2016 and Johanna Sadonis’ move from Berlin to Stockholm, Lucifer were ready for chapter two. With the critically acclaimed release of their long-awaited second album ‘Lucifer II’ via Century Media on July 6th 2018 and the videos for their new singles ‘California Son’ and ‘Dreamer’, Lucifer is facing a new grand chapter.

Lucifer corrupted the souls of many and achieved international recognition on their past tours. Starting this years live ritual on October 7th, the band will be homebound, playing the first show in the fair city of Stockholm. A most logical step as both sticksman Nicke Andersson (Entombed, The Hellacopters) and his now wife singer Johanna Sadonis call the Swedish capital their home. The newly weds tied the knot on Friday, July 13th 2018  – congrats to the happy couple!

Make sure to catch their magic and love live on stage at any of the upcoming dates in October – check flyer below.

Swedish Dark Rockers Tribulation finally announce their new sticksman, after Jakob Ljungberg has officially left the band earlier this year. The following statements have been posted on their facebook page:

As the summer in the year of their lord 2017 draws near and the world in the north is again fully starting to wake from its slumber we, on the other hand, are forced to face an inevitable end in the departure of our drummer Jakob Ljungberg who has decided to leave the band. We have spent the last five years together through pain to heaven, in chaos to bliss! It’s been such a strange, wonderful, tiring and inspiring time and we would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making this time the most important in the history of the band. We surely couldn’t have done it without you. We were like brothers even before the time of Tribulation and we certainly will be in the time after! Make sure to check out Jakob’s unique and most excellent band Second Sun where he sings and plays guitar!

Jakob comments:

”It is with a heavy heart that I leave Tribulation. These last years have been among the best in my life, but they wore me out and now I have to continue life on different paths.

Thanks to everyone involved – you made this journey spectacular, thanks to everyone that came up and said hi – it meant the world to me, thanks to everyone who believed in me – you made me believe in myself. Jonathan, Adam and Johannes. I love you.

“The end of nights we tried to die – this is the end.””

For Tribulation, however, this is not the end, but a new beginning. After this period of silence, renewal and contemplation the time has now come to give you the new Tribulation! We have now fully immersed ourselves in the making of a new album that will be recorded at summer’s end.

We are very pleased to announce that Oscar Leander (previously in Deathstars) is our new drummer. He will make his first appearance with us on Muskelrock på Tyrolen now on Thursday, June 1st!
Are you ready? We are!
