CORONATUS
stands for double-female-fronted-metal from Germany: The never
before seen combination of outstanding singer Carmen R. Lorch
(formerly named Schäfer) with her soprano voice (guest vocalist for
Illuminate and Brainstorm amongst others) and rock singer Lisa Lasch
defines new standarts in their genre. The unique interplay of the
two singers is the basement for vehement, catchy and highly
emotional metal compositions led by the beautiful duetts of the two
singers. The variety is completed by the lyrics in English, German
and Latin offering fering something for a lot of different musical
tastes. Being planned as a project first, CORONATUS as a band has
matured through the years to an important part of the metal scene.
After tremendous live performances in Germany and Europe (a.o. Euro
tour with HAGGARD) the band released their debut “Lux Noctis” back
in 2007 and the following “Porta Obscura” in 2008, both through
Massacre Records. Both albums were created at Klangschmiede Studio E
by Markus Stock (THE VISION BLEAK) and mastered in the Finnvox-Studios
in Helsinki by Mika Jussila (NIGHTWISH, CHILDREN OF BODOM etc.) and
were able to gain highly respectable sales figures for a new band.
In January 2009 CORONATUS supported WITHIN TEMPTATION at the Petöfi
Hall in Budapest in front of 1500 fans. More shows around Europe
followed with a.o. MIDNATTSOL, COPPELIUS, DORO, TARJA , EPICA and
KRYPTERIA. Since the foundation of the band by
the (meanwhile gone) George G. and drummer Mats Kurth, the band had
a couple of line up changes and additions leading to this highly
dynamic team that CORONATUS stand for today. The new guys Aria
Keramati Noori coming from Teheran, Iran, on guitar and Todd
Goldfinger, New York, USA on bass represent the international level
the band has reached. They also had their live debuts already a.o.
on big festivals like the Metal Female Voices Fest 2009 with an
execellent live p resentation. The new album „ Fabula Magna“ will be
in stores in December through Massacre Records. The pounding, groogy
and aggressive rhythm section builds up a stunning atmosphere
towards the melody lines performed by piano, flute, bagpipe and
violine ending in the manifold vocals of the two front ladies. The
combination of different musical styles serve everybody from the
heavy guys to people who like emontional music. The band already
proved their grasp for rocky, energetic pars as well as balladesc
tracks on the previous albums. The band has matured a lot in the
last years leading to “Fabula Magna” with its fresh sound and
ambitious songwriting, lyrically covering as many topics as
languages mainly telling legends, lore and myths from all over the
world. So CORONATUS could be described as modern bards putting all
their heart and soul into their songs.
