Returning to the scene after a lengthy absence – during which time the shock rocker began to see some of the consequences of numerous assault accusations – Marilyn Manson barreled headlong on the "innocent until proven guilty" route, lashing out at detractors and critics with his 12th studio album, One Assassination Under God: Chapter 1. Objectively, One Assassination is another strong late-era set that's packed with dramatic industrial-lite statements and rollicking spook-show anthems, where Manson's twisted wordplay, (no-longer-that-shocking) religious imagery, and cartoonish cult-master antics intersect.
It was not until the beginning of the year that Fury In The Slaughterhouse released a best-of-album with some new songs to coincide with their 30th anniversary. Now, Kai Wingenfelder, Thorsten Wingenfelder, Christof Stein-Schneider, Rainer Schumann, Gero Drnek and Christian Decker will present another highlight for their fans: the new concert album »Little Big World: Live & Acoustic«. The Acoustic album was recorded live at the end of April in the Hamburger Grünspan. 23 songs are waiting, including many Fury classics. In addition, some exciting guests are waiting for »Little Big World: Live & Acoustic«, for example producer Mousse T. and Kölschrocker Wolfgang Niedecken.
Bloodorn is the new power metal sensation around the two Sirenia musicians Nils Coubaron and Michael Brush as well as Silent Winter singer Mika Livas and Freedom Call bassist Francesco Saverio Ferraro.
Influenced by bands such as Gamma Ray, Angra and Beast in Black, the band also draws on some elements from the extreme metal scene. Bloodorn's music is very fast and technical, sometimes even brutal, but also very melodic and catchy: Extreme Power Metal! Bloodorn is about the fight against oppression, authority and tyranny, but also about dark gothic fantasy, shadow cults, war, inner strength, honour, Norse mythology and even some video game references.
