TARJA:
(fs) Mit Songs ihres 2016 erschienenen Albums „the Shadow Self“ kommt die finnische Sängerin Tarja im März für einen Abend nach Deutschland. Wie bereits bei „Colours In The Dark“ (2013), arbeitete die vielseitige Sopranistin auch für das vierte Rockalbum ihrer Karriere mit dem britischen Produzenten und Toningenieur Tim Palmer (Pearl Jam, H.I.M., U2) zusammen. Die in Austin/Texas, in dessen „62' Studios“, abgemischten Songs strotzen vor Energie, lassen aber zugleich die musikalische Bandbreite der mit einem Stimmumfang von drei Oktaven ausgestatteten Wahlargentinierin durchscheinen. Nicht nur auf CD beherrscht Tarja die Klaviatur der leisen wie der lauten Töne spielerisch. Live führt Tarja kraft- wie gefühlvoll durch einen Querschnitt aus neuem Material und Klassikern.
MY OWN GHOST:
My Own Ghost was founded in 2013 in Luxembourg. The music relies on Julie's warm and powerful voice and on the musicians' different backgrounds, ranging from pop to metal, by adding some
electronic tweaks. In 2014 they released their debut album ‘Love Kills’ via the Finnish label Secret Entertainment. Since then they have toured in Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Italy and the UK, having had the opportunity to support bands such as Loudness from Japan and Delain from the Netherlands. Currently they have finished the recording of their second album, which has been produced by Hiili Hiilesmaa (known for his work with HIM, Apocalyptica, a.o.), and mastered by Svante Forsbäck. The album will be released on April 7th, 2017.
