SYNOPSIS
Nelly Lenz keert na de oorlog lichamelijk zwaar beschadigd terug naar haar huis in het verwoeste Berlijn in 1945. Haar misvormde gezicht krijgt ze terug met een gezichtsreconstructie maar liever heeft ze haar leven terug van voor de oorlog met haar man Johnny. Ondanks het vermoeden dat Johnny haar heeft verraden en naar een concentratiekamp heeft gestuurd, gaat ze naar hem op zoek. Johnny die ervan overtuigd is dat Nelly niet meer leeft, herkent haar niet bij hun ontmoeting. Haar gelijkenis met zijn doodgewaande vrouw is niet verontrustend voor Johnny. Hij stelt voor dat Nelly de rol aanneemt van zijn vrouw. Hiermee kan hij de erfenis veilig stellen van haar in de Holocaust vermoorde familie. Nelly stemt in met het plan en wordt haar eigen dubbelgangster. Om haar leven terug te krijgen moet zij erachter komen of Johnny haar verraden heeft en ooit heeft liefgehad….
Andrew King's first concert in 2015 will be a special double-set performance, with the full band of Hunter Barr and John Murphy, at the Mariakapel, Leuven, Belgium on the 14th of March.
The first set will be of traditional pieces, but the longer second set, and the other associative performances of the evening, will be of World War I related material, a suitable topic considering that some three hundred townsfolk were massacred during the invasion, and the destruction of the city’s great medieval library was to become a potent symbol of the new warfare.
Also, associative events will consist of a Radio Klebnikov session and a projection of the film De Brand van Leuven. Kroniek van een oorlogsmisdaad.
Those events are presented by Char Trues and Autre Que.
OUT NOW , digital release : Radical G: "Fury" EP
Belgian's "EBM meets techno producer" Radical G in full overdrive.
Fury, taken from the forthcoming album "Mankind" is a dramatic pounding piece of Techno with no compromises, straight forward EBM sequences combined with TR808/909 beats and explosive FX.
This track is, as the title says, FURIOUS , a growling build up with a long break towards the end, a truly tremendous rush through the darker spectrum in this genre.

The album 'MANKIND' promises (release date February 7th 2015)
Female fronted Metallers, UNLEASH THE ARCHERS have signed a worldwide deal with Napalm Records. UNLEASH THE ARCHERS live shows are fast-paced and wildly entertaining; the combination of power vocals, death screams, tasty guitar licks and complex drumming provides a little something for everyone. The Canadian shooting stars plays kick ass heavy metal; with fist-pumping anthemic melodies you can’t help but sing along to! Their upcoming record is scheduled for early/mid June 2015! More News coming soon!
UNLEASH THE ARCHERS on their signing with Napalm Records:
"We are so honoured to be joining the team at Napalm! The roster is fantastic, and there are actually already some of our Canadian friends on there so we know it's a great fit. We can not wait to share our new album with the world, and we have the utmost confidence in Napalm to help us do that!"
After years of focussing on other projects, Oswald Henke celebrated the 25 years of existance of Goethes Erben in 2014 with 2 exclusive shows in Leipzig.
In 2015, only 5 exclusive shows were announced, including the Wave Gotik Treffen in Leipzig, the Amphi festival in Köln & Black Easter in Antwerp.
The rehearsals must have triggered something, & there will even follow an entire new music theater piece in october 2015. However, due to a rather large production, extended band & many dancers, that show won't go on tour & will be exclusively performed in Bayreuth (DE).
If interested in tickets, you can write an e-mail to Goethes Erben (genom-bestellung@hotmail.de), but presales are going fast, so hurry up if you want the chance to see this new piece.
The focus of the two-act piece "Menschenstille" is the struggle of a man who tries to end his life. Depression, suicide, illness and death are the central themes because both depression and death drive people to a standstill, and rob all their energy. It will be dark, lyrically and musically, an artistic approach of life and how it might end...
The stage will be created by the wood sculptor Remo Sorge and long-time collaborating graphic artist Ulrike Rank. The musical director is Tobias Schäfer and the piece is written & staged by Oswald Henke.
On the weekend of music theater in October, there is also an exhibition with the photos of photographer Evangeline Cooper and costume designer Carsta Köhler.
The performances will be filmed and there will be a double DVD of "Menschenstille". This DVD can be purchased on October 09th and 10th at the theatre, in the form of a gift certificate. The DVD itself will be send by the end of December. (it will also be available through mailorder)
