Equilibrium - Introduce New Vocalist, Hint At New Drummer
Only two weeks after the departure of their previous singer Helge Stang and drummer Manuel di Camillo German pagan metallers Equilibrium have presented their new vocalist. His name is Robse, so far frontman of the pagan metal band Vrankenvorde:
On Myspace the band states:
"The new Equilibrium member goes by the name Robse! We have known him for several years and so it was a very logical decision for us that he will be the new singer of Equilibrium. The recordings are already in progress and with his awesome voice we have completely new possibilities for the new album! The mood in the band is fantastic and we can not wait to get him on the stage!"
Robse himself adds:
"I am proud and grateful to become a part of the Equilibrium family! René had asked me two years ago if I'd like to sing in another project of his. So we already had quite a good connection. But getting the opportunity to sing with his main band is just fantastic! The boys and the girl gave me such a warm welcome, I'm absolutely thrilled by whatever the future may bring!"
In the meanwhile the band had to cancel their appearances at the Mittelalter Rock Festival in Illingen and the Paganfest dates in Stuttgart and Tilburg. The explanation reads as follows:
"We regret that we cannot play at these concerts yet. As you surely have noticed, we also had to take care of a new drummer. Fortunately we have quickly found one. But as he comes from abroad, there are still some problems which do not allow him to enter the country as originally planned. The Paganfest dates in Bochum, Antwerp and Amsterdam however are not affected, we will play those! Thank you for your understanding!"

Theatre Of Tragedy - The Theatre Is Closing Down
After nearly 17 years in existence Theatre Of Tragedy has decided to call it a day. The band's last words read as follows;
"This has not been an easy decision to make and we have thought about this for a long long time. We finally agreed to this during the production of our latest album Forever Is The World.
Theatre of Tragedy will come to an end on October 2nd 2010, exactly 17 years after we started making music together. Over the years all of us have strived to combine the Theatre with everyday life but in the end it has proven more and more difficult. We have come to appreciate our family lives and jobs, which makes it very hard to continue this life of rock'n'roll on the road.
We know that some of you will probably be very disappointed, but we also hope you will continue to listen to our music, which all of you learned to appreciate and love so much.
We want to thank everyone of you for all your support over the past 17 years! Theatre of Tragedy wouldn't have been possible without you! Be sure to catch us on the last Theatre of Tragedy shows ever this year! The final gig will take place on October 2nd in Stavanger, where it all began.
Our music will live on... and forever is the world."

Rammstein - Bustle In Belarus, Cont'd
Original news, posted on 24.02.2010
Rammstein are in trouble... again. Authorities in Belarus have declared Germany's Rammstein a threat to the state. They questioned an upcoming concert in Minsk, saying letting it go on would be a "costly mistake" for the country.
Rammstein's music could "destroy the Belarusian state system," said the country's Public Council on Morality on Monday. The Council described the band's songs as propaganda for "violence, masochism, homosexuality and other abnormalities" and said "permitting a Rammstein concert would be a costly mistake."
The German group, which is known for the sexual and violent nature of its lyrics, was scheduled to perform at Minsk Arena on March 7. Writer Mikalay Charhinets, head of the government's Public Council on Morality said he regretted that tickets had already been sold for the concert, but that if the event were to take place, the program would need to be revised in order to prevent "extremism."
Belarus is a former Soviet republic and has been ruled since 1994 by President Alexander Lukashenko, who has been referred to as Europe's "last dictator." The country's Public Council on Morality, a state-sponsored censorship agency, was founded in 2009 and has been accused of suppressing freedom of opinion.
The Rammstein concert organizers told the Interfax-West news agency on Monday that they had "no information that Rammstein will spread violent, perverse, cruel or Nazi ideology at their concert in Minsk."
UPDATE
In an ongoing quest of the Belarusian Public Council on Morality to make complete fools of themselves, the members of the Council now demand a preview of the show that Rammstein are scheduled to perform in Minsk on March 7. Here's the story as reported by Naviny.by - a Belarusian news site:
"The members of the Council believe that with its work, the band openly propagates homosexuality, masochism and other perversions, as well as cruelty, violence and abusive language," the Public Council on Morality said in a statement issued on Monday. "The group's concerts often feature live acts of intercourse, ejaculation and acts of imitating the Nazis."
"We looked through pictures and watched videos of Rammstein shows," Mikalay Charhinets, chairman of the Council who heads the government-backed Union of Writers of Belarus, said in an interview with BelaPAN. "They really show pornographic, violent and cruel scenes," he said.
