The Great Wall is an American-Chinese adventure film from director Zhang Yimou (Raise The Red Lantern). Starring Matt Damon, the movie follows an elite force of soldiers as they make a heroic stand atop the Great Wall of China against a horde of monsters that appear every sixty years. The score to The Great Wall was composed by Ramin Djawadi. Best known for his iconic scores to Game of Thrones and Iron Man, Djawadi has also provided the music for Warcraft, Pacific Rim and Westworld among countless other projects. His score to The Great Wall is sweeping and grand featuring rumbling drums, an army of strings and traditional Chinese chanting.

This is the story of World War I through the voices of nurses, journalists, aviators, and American troops, and through the experiences of African-American and Latino soldiers, suffragists, Native American "code talkers," and others whose participation in the war to "make the world safe for democracy" has been largely forgotten.

Still standing, the Kaiser Franz Josef is back! With the Austrian trio, the new Rock Nobility is starting to sweep outdated traditions with its karaoke kick-ace sound from the record and present it in a modern, fresh way. The stylistic origins of Kaiser Franz Josef can be traced back to the great bloodlines of the great formations of five decades of music history: rock'n roll, heavy rock, doom, a little Stonerrock and, of course, grunge, especially bands like Black Sabbath, Queens Of The Stone Age, The Hellacopters or Soundgarden, whose influences the Austrians on Make Rock Great Again combine to their imperial high-energy mix. We give the older fans what they expect from rock music and tell the young generation what they have not yet, explains Frontman Sham. Kaiser Franz Josef let the amps glow and have caught the raw live power of their sweat shows on Make Rock Great Again. Handmade, straightforward and straightforward in the face.

"The Big Band Theory", das sind Energie, funky Grooves und jede Menge Lebensfreude. Die fünf Jungs aus Augsburg bezeichnen ihren Stil gern als „Pornographic Funk“ und fassen damit ihren Anspruch, Jazz mit Einflüssen aus Electro und Rock auf innovative Weise zu kombinieren, in einer Phrase zusammen.
