In 1997, two key releases by two emerging bands had a game-changing impact on the metal scene as we knew it

Woz Neptune drift through hypnotic electronic landscapes on Limerence (Radio Edit), a shimmering instrumental piece where rhythm, atmosphere, and emotional tension intertwine with cinematic precision. Pulsing percussion, layered synth textures, and fractured vocal manipulations create a futuristic dream-state that feels both playful and deeply immersive, balancing club energy with experimental curiosity. Rather than relying on explosive moments, the track gradually pulls listeners deeper into its orbit through subtle movement and intricate sonic detail. Fluid, transportive, and emotionally charged beneath its polished surface, Limerence (Radio Edit) showcases Woz Neptune’s talent for turning abstract electronic composition into something vividly alive.

One of the most unlikely collaborations in Grammys history was also one of the most cursed, but they pulled it out of the bag

VENUS GRRRLS have announced a run of UK headline dates taking place throughout October and November.

On his new album, the ex-Beatle revisits his past and revels in simply continuing to create.

„Das beste Mittel gegen Blutkrebs bist du“ – so lautet das diesjährige Motto zum Weltblutkrebs-Tag. 

Ein Satz, in dem viel Wahrheit steckt und der auch im Zentrum des gemeinsamen Engagements des W:O:A und der DKMS steht.
Seit 2014 engagiert sich das Team rund um Holger Hübner und Thomas Jensen gemeinsam mit der Wacken-Community für das Anliegen der DKMS und für betroffene Patientinnen und Patienten rund um den Globus. 

Auslöser hierfür? Die Erkrankung von Melissa, der Tochter des 2018 verstorbenen Wacken-Produktionsleiters Thomas Hess. 
Der DKMS Aktionsstand ist seither während des Festivals im Camp der Wacken Foundation zu finden. Dort ist die Registrierung als potenzieller Lebensretter möglich. Mit einem einfachen Wangenabstrich können sich gesunde Menschen zwischen 17 und 55 Jahren auf dem „heiligen Acker“ in die Datei aufnehmen lassen.

Wie wichtig dieses Typisieren ist, zeigen die Zahlen:
Bislang haben sich mehr als 13.000 Metalheads als potenzielle Stammzellspender registriert, 105 von ihnen konnten bereits Stammzellen spenden – und damit erkrankten Menschen in 27 Ländern weltweit neue Hoffnung schenken.
Aber auch der Bedarf ist hoch: Allein in diesem Jahr scheiden rund 160.000 registrierte Personen altersbedingt aus der DKMS Spenderdatei aus. Gleichzeitig steigt der Bedarf weiter, denn allein in Deutschland erkrankt alle 12 Minuten ein Mensch an Blutkrebs, weltweit sogar alle 27 Sekunden.
Ihr wollt euch typisieren lassen und somit vielleicht auch eine Chance auf ein zweites Leben ermöglichen? Dann könnt ihr das entweder direkt auf dem Wacken Open Air oder aber auch ganzjährig auf dkms.de/wacken tun.

Mund auf, Stäbchen rein, Spender sein! See you in Wacken – Register and Shine!

Finn O’Sullivan capture the fragile beauty of solitude on Alice, a moody indie pop confession wrapped in late-night atmosphere and emotional vulnerability. Gentle guitar textures, understated production, and Finn O’Sullivan’s intimate vocal delivery create the feeling of wandering empty streets with unresolved thoughts echoing in your head. Balancing indie-folk sensitivity with modern bedroom-pop melancholy, the track unfolds with quiet honesty rather than dramatic release, allowing its emotional weight to linger naturally. Reflective, understated, and deeply human, Alice feels like a soundtrack for lonely nighttime walks and the thoughts that surface when everything else finally goes quiet.
