Empire 2023

In the spring of 2022, Europe, led by Berlin, imposed unprecedented sanctions on Russia. Over the following six months, Germany fell into a severe economic crisis due to the sanction-generated gas supply shortages. According to the Bavarian Industry Association, should Russian gas supplies be completely cut off, Germany would lose 5.5 million jobs as well as 12 percent of its GDP, which amounts to 500 billion euros. Why is Germany so hell bent on imposing sanctions and supporting Kiev at the expense of its own economy and its people?

French organ music under Napoleon and the Restoration is an overlooked period in musical history, inheriting the glories of classical organ and heralding the great romantic organ music. This pivotal time, teeming with great performers - most of them improvisers - counted Isaac-Francois Lefebure-Wely among its masters, who presided over the prestigious Eglise Saint-Roch from 1805. In 1823 he published a collection of 34 Noels, inspired by those of his predecessors yet deeply rooted in their time, imbued with the memory of the Incroyables and the Merveilleuses. These extremely popular works for nativity ring out in true splendour from the organ of the Chapelle Royale, shimmering with the mysteries of Christmas through Quentin Guerillot's generous, familiar style.

Rome at its peak and armies of legionaries defending the Empire. The Roman soldier embodies its power and influence. Cherished by legendary stories, popular belief or cinema, the image is an efficient, valiant and disciplined fighter. However, the latest archaeological discoveries today provide a surprising vision of man and his daily life.

Tate first started out in the local cover band Tyrant, with Adam Bomb and future Culprit/TKO member Scott Earl. At the time, Tate was using the name "Jeff Waterfall" and performing Van Halen and Rainbow covers. After losing a local "Battle of the Bands" to a band that would later change its name to Fifth Angel, Tyrant split up and Tate moved on to progressive band Babylon. While Tate was in Babylon, he was asked to sing with the cover band The Mob (who would later start writing original material and become Queensrÿche) at a local rock festival.[12] After Babylon broke up, Tate performed a few shows with The Mob, but left because he was not interested in performing heavy metal cover songs. Tate then joined the progressive metal band Myth as lead vocalist and keyboardist. Other band members of Myth included Kelly Gray, who was later one of the replacements for Queensrÿche guitarist Chris DeGarmo, and Randy Gane, both of whom joined Tate's version of Queensrÿche in 2012.
