More bands confirmed for Time To Rock Festival!

We are slowly but surely approaching a full line-up and today we can present three more acts that are ready for Time To Rock Festival 5-8 July 2024.


For 40 years, DORO has worked to cement herself as Germany”s, and probably the world”s, hard rock queen #1. Doro started her musical career at home in Germany in smaller bands like Snakebite and Beast before she started singing in Warlock. Warlock released four records in the 80s, from “Burning the Witches” (1984) to “Triumph and Agony” (1989). This summer she will join us at Time To Rock and we think that is great. A real stage show is also promised!


We can also proudly present the JEAN BEAUVOIR rock world”s perhaps most famous mohawk. The career began in the punk band PLASMATICS and, in addition to his solo career under his own name, he has also had bands such as VOODOO X and CROWN OF THORNS on his conscience. He has also worked as a songwriter, musician and producer for artists such as KISS, LITTLE STEVEN, RAMONES and many, many more. So there is a seasoned gentleman coming to Time To Rock this summer and he is known as a real entertainer on stage and it will scream 80”s about this gig which we are looking forward to.


“A little symphonic power metal from Austria can”t hurt” we thought and booked VISIONS OF ATLANTIS. The band was formed in 2000 and since the debut “Eternal Endless Infinity” (2002) has released a total of eight studio albums, the latest of which is called “Pirates” (2022). The band is fronted by the fantastic singer and stage personality Clémentine Delauney. She alone is worth the entire ticket price!

Industrial doom metal act Ωblivion Gate releases their third album next year – First single Acolyte now released

Ωblivion Gate emerges from the murky waters of darkest dreams and fates undone to shade our melancholy in the colors of the apocalyptic love song, “Acolyte”, taken from the forthcoming third full-length album, ‘Thrill Kill Noir’.

“I am insane and you are my insanity”
-12 Monkeys


Love opened the door and I let you inside. You are entranced in the sinister hypnosis of this infatuation, and now you know what I am. Now you know what you are too. Peer behind the veil, through the smoke and mirrors of warm and beautiful sentiments into the nightmare paradise of intimate devotion, no matter what.


Will you be an Acolye?
Or will you perish in the fires of sacrifice?

Bio:

Formed as a doom metal project in Finland in 2018 by Florida-born artist and musician Matron Thorn, the music of Ωblivion Gate did, even then, strain classification as it ventured irresponsibly into experimental realms hitherto untraversed. The debut ATMF full-length album, “Wisdom of the Grave”, was a doom metal flirtation with early 90s grunge and gothic rock, setting the stage in underground acclaim for what would eventually sever ties with metal altogether in favor of a gothic industrial flavor on the 2022 sophomore release, “Flowers in the Wreckage of Dreams”, told as the narrative of a young starlet fled from small time life to chase her bubblegum dreams of becoming a star in the city of angels, all to a harrowingly melancholy and beautiful conclusion. Electro beats, ethereal synths, abrasive but purposeful guitars, and sinister vocals mingled with seductive female voices created a dark, dreamlike drive through his dreary South Florida underworld, not unlike Matron Thorn’s hometown goth industrial icons Marilyn Manson at his most fucked up and depressed.


Ωblivion Gate metamorphoses yet again, standing entirely on the merits of their own evolution into something wholly original and brazen in it’s murky darkness on the forthcoming full-length, “Thrill Kill Noir'”; a nightbound meditation of the beauty in our obsessions, in our vices, in our voyeurism, in our depravity, and the prestige in our mastery of it.


A lineup capable of live performances has been assembled to support and elevate the voidlike seduction of Ωblivion Gate to higher planes of euphoria.
