Gothic metal can be so glorious! This is proven by CORONATURS
with their two front ladies! The music is melodic but very catchy, with a
pumping beat and with guitar hooks that add the needed heaviness to the bands’
sound. Having two completely different female singers gives CORONATUS an abolute
unique sound within the scene.
CORONATUS were founded by drummer Mats Kurth (a.o. Illuminate). At the end of
2004/early 2005 the line up was finally complete. With the two front ladies
Frontfrauen Carmen R. Schäfer (Illuminate, guest vocals for Brainstorm etc.) and
Viola Schuch the demo "My Rose Desire" was recorded end of 2005 which became
album of the month at Metal Hammer Hungary and led the band to some shows in
Hungary including the Gothica V. -festival with Haggard and Moonsorrow in
Budapest. Consequently this was followed by the recordings for the first album
in 2006 entitled “Lux Noctis”. The songs have lyrics in German, English and
Latin. The album was recorded and mixed at Klangschmiede Studio E by Markus
Stock and Tobias Schönemann, the masterminds of The Vision Bleak. To give the
recording the final topping the album was mastered Oktober 2006 at
Finnvox-Studios in Helsinki by Mika Jussila (Nightwish, Children of Bodom etc.)
and the artwork and photos were done by Katja Piolka (Sinner, Primal Fear, Elis
etc.) “Lux Noctis” is not just another goth metal album but a debut with a
remarkable creativity and personality.
