More about Athonite

Hey guys, I'm back again ;) 
So, finally the news about what David has been doing... So what do you guys think? Was it as you expected? A Totally new band, with Juri and David. And what do you think so far about what you have seen and heard?


Here is some more about the new band.


At Wacken's homepage, you can read more about David and Juri's new band.
Go take a look at the website: Wacken.com


Or read it here:

ATHONITE - Classical Music Reloaded
Great classical music with the vehemence of Metal!


Monumental, powerful, wild: Heavy Metal and classical music have never been much different in these aspects. Until now however, names like Bach, Mozart and Grieg only appealed to concertgoers of the quieter kind. This will change with ATHONITE, a project led by David Bonk which is bravely and radically reinterpreting classical music, turning the old master‘s works into Metal pieces, pairing electrial guitars with Bach and doublebass drums with Brahms.


It took more than two years for highly talented pianist David Bonk to rewrite and expand traditional compositions, turning them into high class headbanging material: Two guitars, bass and drums with piano and violine, alongside a huge orchestra and choir - this is the connection between the power of Heavy Metal and the greatness of classical music. Metal fans have heard this combination before, but very rarely did it sound this virtuos and energetic.


Bonk‘s first time sitting at a piano was at age three. After that he learned many other instruments, basically all he could get his hands on. Classically trained, but with both feet firmly planted in the rock world, he nowadays is producing national and international artists, including metal bands.


But rest assured: The high level of musicianship in ATHONITE does not supress the Rock‘n‘Roll spirit. Regardless of the complex riffage, not every note is written down and fixed for eternity. This will be clearly evident on stage, augmented by a huge pyro and laser show.


ATHONITE will celebrate their stage debut on Aug 3rd at this year‘s Wacken:Open:Air.

(Thank you to Anonymous in the comments on the last post)

Alvina Fenyuk (who we expect is part of the band?)


It doesn't say much about her, on her website, but have a look: http://www.alvinafenyuk.de/
Or take a look at her facebook. Anyway, you can find a lot of photos of her.

David's new band!!

Earlier today, David broke the news of having a new band.
Twitter/Facebook: "My New Band. http://www.athonite.de/ "


On the website, all you can see is a picture of David, the information for Wacken AND a youtube video:


The members of the band that were confirmed in the youtube tags are David, Juri and Alvina Fenyuk. So what do you guys think?

David facebook update

"Pracroom Picture :-)"

Some big, massive news.

Hi guys! It's Jess here, if you all remember me. I use to help Line when she's not able to update, which is where we've come to now.
I'm a bit confused myself, seeing as I just came home from my own vacation, but it seems like there's some kind of big, fat reunion (or something like that).


As you may have read earlier, David wrote on his facebook that he was going to perform on Wacken Open Air, and now he's preparing and rehearsing for the gig. Yesterday (July 21st) posted this on his twitter:

 "I ll perform at Wacken, together with Juri. We ll post a trailer soon, made by Timo. Uh, I really love working with talented people :-)"

This confirms that Juri will be performing with David and Timo will take part of it all by cutting a trailer and etc.

But as early as this Wednesday (July 18th) he posted this picture on facebook:

"Preparing for the Wacken Gig - building a new own grandpiano for me, checking in our rehearsal hall the sound of the new 3 coreblade amps and the drumset. The show is gonna be so cool! :-D"

You can see Juri in two of the pictures and you can also see Timo in the right picture.

The day after (July 19th) he posted another photo on his facebook:

"Again rehearsals today. And hey, guests are showing up :-D Or... maybe they are not only guests? Who knows..?! :-)"

Here it's not only Juri on the picture, but also Jan, Frank and their old management (to the left)

So, everyone except Linke are there now, guests or not. Nothing more have been said about it (as far as I know, you're more than welcome to tell me if you've read more from the guys) and as always, my hope of a reunion just grew a great amount.

What do you guys think, are the old management and his old bandmates only guests or is there something in the making? Feel free to comment!

Thoughts about Panik

I will just share with you, what I was thinking...


Can you guys believe it?... It was in 2009 Panik broke up - 2009!! It's 2012 now. Can't believe myself how long time it is ago! This November/December it's 3 yeas.
But they said it was no break-up. David and Timo would continue with Panik.. Hm... Don't know what to wish for anymore. I don't believe much will be able to happen.
And now we are here. Each of the boys doing their job. And me still keeping this stupid blog. And just like Panik, this blog is pretty much dead...
Are you guys still interested?.. How are you doing? How are your feelings about Panik?
What do you guys feel about "Die Flut"? - I have to say.. I don't feel there is much Panik about it. You think David and Timo will be able to get anywhere?


I wish you all a happy and nice summer!

But yes, the "Bayern" played wayyy better. Out of league, literally.

Everytime the moderater says: "Boring". Im like: "What? He didn't say.. Ah, the name".


The irritating thing about our soccer team "Bayern" are the players last-names: Groß ("Great") and Lahm ("Boring").
