Athonite at Wacken

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.

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!

About the Moscow concert and a new blog from David

-
The concert in Moscow has been canceled!!
It's because of the place they should have played MILK - has been closed! And then Panik has no place to play the concert.
But they try to find a new place to play the concert!!

David have wrote a blog on myspace, and news on their homepage about it:


Moscow Show
Deutsche Version Unten

Привет всем фанам Panik,

в этом сообщении идёт речь о приближающемся концерте в Москве 30 января 2010 года, так как этот концерт в связи с новыми обстоятельствами не состоится.
Клуб MILK, в котором он должен состояться, был закрыт и выступление PANIK перенесёно на неопределённый срок. На интернет-странице клуба будет дана возможность сдать билеты. Мы хотели бы вас попросить сделать это, так как скорее всего они будут не действительны для возможно перенесённого концерта.

Как всегда мы благодарим Вас за Ваше понимание и надеемся, что сможем как можно скорее организовать перенесённый концерт в каком-нибудь другом зале.

Огромный привет из Германии в Россию!

Давид

Hallo an alle PANIKfans,

dieser Eintrag geht um das anstehende Moskaukonzert am 30.Januar.2010 ,
denn dieses Konzert wird nach den neuesten Umständen nicht stattfinden.
Die MILK Halle, in der das Konzert hätte gespielt werden sollen, wurde überraschend auf Grund fehlender Sicherheitsvorkehrungen geschlossen, und das PANIK Konzert, und viele andere somit auf unbestimmte Zeit verschoben. Auf der Homepage der Konzerthalle wird es euch ermöglicht, eure Tickets zurückzugeben. Wir würden euch bitten, genau dieses zu tun, da sie sehr wahrscheinlich die Gültigkeit für ein eventuelles Nachholkonzert verlieren.

Wir danken euch wie immer für euer großes Verständnis und hoffen, dass wir so schnell wie möglich ein Nachholkonzert in einer anderen Halle organisieren können.

Ganz liebe Grüße aus Deutschland nach Russland!
David

English:
Hi all Panikfans,
This remark is about the coming Moscowconcert the 30. January 2010,
This concert will under the new circumstance not take place.
The MILK Hal, were the concert should have been played, have surprising been closed, because of reasons for missing secutity, and the PANIK concert, and a lot of others have by this been postponed indefinitely. At the homepage for the Concertplace is it also possible to give your tickets back. We will also ask you exactly to do that, when they very likely will lost the validity for a new possible later catched up concert.

We thank you as always for your big understanding and hope, that we as soon as possible can catch up a concert in an other place!

The best lovely greeting from Germany to Russia

David
