Пионеры синти-гот-дарк-вейв-попа из Германии DEINE LAKAIEN любимы многими, и потому в дополнительном представлении не нуждаются. В минувшем году группа разменяла третий десяток — достойный повод, чтобы связаться с харизматичным фронтменом команды, Александром Вельяновым, обсудить последние новости и релизы, а также задать волнующие вопросы о будущем группы...
Many metal bands from Russia sing in English, surprisingly in Finland was created the band, which plays doom metal and sings in Russian! Band title is short but strong - KYPCK (in this way to write, and "KURSK" to pronounce). Lyrics is written by the band's vocalist, who learned and worked in St.Petersburg for a while. When I've heard, that Erkki sings almost without accent, I've contacted him to do the interview for The MetalList.

Swedish melodic death metallers DARK TRANQUILLITY have issued the following update:
"Finland/Russia/Ukraine rocks...
"Another successful tour has come to an end. Thanks to everyone that attended the gigs to show their support and make this such a memorable trip for us.
"Finland was amazing, with a devoted and dedicated audience that didn't disappoint one bit. The highlight was the nearly-sold-out Tavastia show, which marked our first headline gig in Helsinki since 1996, when we played in the now legendary Lepakko club, supported by a young HIM. (!)
"Russia and Ukraine was everything we expected and more, and it's no exaggeration to state that the performance in Moscow deserves a spot in the Top 5 list of the best shows ever. We've been waiting for so many years to get over there, and other bands have spoken highly of the great reception they've gotten, but our sky-high expectations were surpassed.
"Finally, a huge thanks to everyone involved in the promotion/organization of these shows for their great professionalism and hospitality."
