Vanden Plas - On World Cup 2006, Album Delayed
Abydos (the Andy Kuntz' project) will be performed live, also the new Vanden Plas album was delayed, the following message was posted by the band on the latest newsletter:
"Now it's official: "Abydos" will be brought to the stage! Andy Kuntz' "Heavy Mental Shadow Opera" will premier in Kaiserslautern's Pfalztheater next February. It will be the city's official cultural contribution to the FIFA Football World Cup 2006 in Germany! Vanden Plas will play live with big choirs, the orchestral arrangements of Stefan Glass and an ensemble with more than 50 persons.
Günter Werno will be the musical director and Andy Kuntz will play the main character "Fly"!
The music of the show mainly comes from the Abydos album, but a few VP tracks will also be involved in the storyboard.
In other news, the next VP album had to be delayed for several reasons. First, Stephan has been bery sick throughout 2004 and had to take a small backseat (he's now starting to get better). The band also needs some time to build a new rehearsal room. The good news is that the band have just finished the preproduction of the new songs! According to Stephan, they are heavy songs with progressive elements and catchy vocal lines, and sound like a mix of all the previous albums... but somehow a little different to what they have done before!
"Christ Zero" will most likely be released around january/february 2006."
