XII. AMPHI FESTIVAL 2016 - MONO INC., L’ÂME IMMORTELLE & FOUR ADDITIONAL BANDS CONFIRMED



Dear Amphi Fans,

next July we ring in again the 5th season for the dark-music scene at Amphi Eventpark. Alongside already announced highlights like EDITORS, PROJECT PITCHFORK, COVENANT, BLUTENGEL and TARJA we´re back today with six additional artists, ready to pull you out of everyday´s life and to create memorable moments with their concerts. Let us salute new to the Amphi Line-up:

MONO INC.
L’ÂME IMMORTELLE
LEBANON HANOVER | NOSFERATU
SPIRITUAL FRONT | DIVE

Sometimes it is just a puddle jump from Hamburg to the Rio Grande. Deeply impressed by the infinite vastness of the texan prairie, MONO INC. summarily decided on returning to the US to produce their 8th album „Terlingua“ on an original texan ranch. Inspired by this distinct surrounding they created an unusual dark-rock album, which Martin Engler & co. will perform live at Amphi Festival 2016, of course along with many of their beloved blockbuster tunes.

It is the first time since 2008 that L’ÂME IMMORTELLE are about to play at Amphi Festival together, celebrating the upcoming 20th anniversary of their band. On this special occasion Sonja Kraushofer and Thomas Rainer musically put on their finest garments and re-recorded a selection of their greatest hits for the album „Unsterblich“ (rel. 26.02.2016). Epic – electronic - eternal, L’ÂME IMMORTELLE span the bridge past to present, summing up the many facets of their career in a modern-day livery that interweaves state of the art production with their current live arrangements and the spark of their typical inventiveness.

LEBANON HANOVER will return to Amphi Festival. 2015 a lot of you were especially looking foward to watch Larissa Iceglass, William Maybelline perform their atmospheric coldwave sound. To everyones misfortune literally „gone with the wind“ at that time, the sensation is perfect now: dark - minimal – art!, the duo will play their lost show in 2016, which is something we´re extremely happy about.

Next up we welcome a genuine cult band from the second wave of goth rock: NOSFERATU! The British band, formed in the late 80s around guitarist Damien DeVille meanwhile looks back on over 300 show in 14 countries worldwide and more than 100.000 records sold. As headliner of the orbit stage NOSFERATU conjure the origins of gothrock for oldschool enthusiasts and everyone loving to discover!

From the british island our trail continues southward with our next stop in Rome, where mastermind Simone Salvatori confirmed us a reencounter with SPIRITUAL FRONT. Already in 2012 this Italian exceptional formation enchanted with their nihilist suicide pop at Amphi. High time for an encore of their deep, handmade music, tangled up with a hint of meridional temperament!

Concluding today´s musical journey we look at Belgium where Industrial/EBM-Icon Dirk Ivens (The Klinik / Absolute Body Control) currently prepares to crack the whip at Amphi 2016 with his project DIVE. Cool, minimal electro meets icy industrial – full of images, hypnotic, relentless – like music taken directly from a factory assembly line! Don´t miss it!
