CREMATORY: 'Haus Mit Garten' Video Released

“Haus Mit Garten”, the new video from the German gothic metal act CREMATORY, can be seen below. The clip was once again directed by Dirk Weiler of Brand-X-Films. The song is taken from the band’s thirteenth studio album, “Monument”, which was released on April 15 via Steamhammer/SPV.

“Monument” track listing:

01. Misunderstood
02. Haus Mit Garten
03. Die So Soon
04. Ravens Calling
05. Eiskalt
06. Nothing
07. Before I Die
08. Falsche Tränen
09. Everything
10. My Love Within
11. Die Letzte Schlacht
12. Save Me

CREMATORY recently parted ways with longtime bassist Harald Heine and replaced him with Jason Matthias. Heine, who was in CREMATORY for over 20 years, decided on short notice to give up music for personal and health reasons, to spend more time with his family and children.

Infinitely more strongly than on its predecessor, “Antiserum” (2014), the twelve tracks on “Monument” are based on brute guitar riffs and hard-as-nails drum grooves, replete with sinister keyboard hooks and that mix of growls and clear vocals — some in English, some in German — that is so typical of this band. The group’s fans will be thoroughly delighted with “Monument” and its dynamic sound.

When work on “Monument” commenced in spring 2015, a personnel issue had to be settled in the CREMATORY camp: Matthias Hechler, guitarist, clear voice and a style-defining member for 17 years, had left the band for private reasons. That his departure went off without animosity or internal quarrels was confirmed by Matthias in an interview on the “Live At Wacken 2014” DVD. Following his decision, CREMATORY made a virtue out of necessity, enlisting two successors: Tosse Basler (SCAPEGOAT, AVALANCHE) joined the fold as rhythm guitarist and clear vocalist, and Rolf Munkes is CREMATORY‘s new lead guitarist.

Tosse and Rolf have brought a breath of fresh air to the band. They’ve really inspired us with their powerful style and phat guitar sounds,” rejoices drummer Markus Jüllich, who composed the songs again with producer Kristian “Kohle” Bonifer before going on to produce them together at the Kohlekeller Studio.

The result is a gothic metal opus that positively bursts with energy, featuring twelve diverse numbers with different degrees of toughness, including double guitar parts and guitar solos. The opener, “Misunderstood”, which is supported by the first video release, is probably the most metallic number of CREMATORY‘s career. Markus refers to the track as an “ideal introduction, not only to our new album but also to our upcoming shows.” The ballad “Save Me”, which Jüllich/Bonifer wrote some time ago and have now approved for release in view of the new lineup, presents a stark contrast.

“As far as I’m concerned, this number has an orchestral flair,” Jüllich reckons. “It suits Tosse and his timbre perfectly.” Talking of which: because of their new team, CREMATORY have honed the homogenous blend of frontman Felix Stass‘s raw growls and the clear voice of their new band member Tosse Basler even more finely than ever before.

The album carries its symbolic title with justification and the twelve impressive songs are undoubtedly a real monument to this group’s amazing creative powers. In line with this, the cover artwork is both classy and sublime: for the third time in succession, CREMATORY, worked with Hungarian artist Peter Sallai. As in the productional collaboration between Markus Jüllich and Kristian Bonifer, the band has relied on tried and tested collaborators without repeating or indeed copying themselves.

Fozzy Saves the World 2023: Baltimore Show Review

Fozzy comes back to Baltimore and brings the rock, the roll and David Arquette.

Chris Jericho and Fozzy always bring a great show with them , this time they had The Nocturnal Affair and Seventh Day Slumber along for the ride .

The Nocturnal Affair is a fun band to watch. A little mix of Dark Goth Rock and alternative industrial is how to explain them. Singer Brendan Shane is a great frontman and knows how to rock out the crowd. 

This was my first time seeing Seventh Day Slumber and they didn’t disappoint. The band puts on a great show and singer Joseph Rojas is not only an amazing singer but just an all around great guy. The band has been around since the late 90s and still just puts on an amazing show. 

Fozzy was next and the crowd was chanting “Fozzy,Fozzy” all night long. Part rock n roll crowd part wrestling crowd, the fans were ready for experience the “Walls of Jericho”. This band is always fun. The whole band just rocks the whole stage and you can tell that they are having fun. Jericho is a natural born entertainer and just oozes charisma all over the stage. 

Billy Grey and Rich Ward are a hoot to watch. Both have so much energy and are bouncing all over the stage , rich even gives PJ a few smooches now and then, and when they rock that guitar solos it’s insane. I love watching the crowd and the little kids who are at the show just enjoying watching  “The Ayatollah of Rock ’N’ Rolla”, with songs like “Drinking with Jesus” and “Judas” the fans go insane. 

As I mentioned in the opening statement, as we were leaving the venue after the show, the former WCW Heavyweight Champion David Arquette was coming into the venue to talk to Jericho. David was in town for monstermania horror con weekend and stopped in get a glimpse of Fozzy.
