CULTIVATED BRUTALITY

For 20 years, Whitechapel from Knoxville have represented cultivated deathcore and death metal. With their ninth album "Hymns Of Dissonance", the Americans have returned in 2025 to the uncompromisingly brutal sound of their early days. In 2027, they will come to Europe with the "Burn Forever Tour" to knock out fans with their blastbeat anthems. Supporting acts: Sylosis, 200 Stab Wounds, and Tribal Gaze.

"Hymns In Dissonance" – the title of the current Whitechapel album is programmatic. "There is nothing beautiful about HID, from the riffs to the lyrics to the overall melody of the album. We tried to write our hardest album yet. We wanted to release something that is shockingly menacing and brutal," says guitarist Alex Wade about the band's latest work. "The album follows the story of a cultist who gathers people to join his cult. There are moments in this story where the cult followers sing an anthem to open a portal through which the main cultist can enter." The dynamic, brutal musicality of the band provides the perfect soundtrack to the captivating story that singer Phil Bozeman vividly imagines: "'Hymns in Dissonance' is a mockery of the true nature of hymns," he says. "Hymns are melodic and harmonious. Dissonance is the exact opposite of melody and harmony. It represents evil. And the tracks on the album represent the seven deadly sins." A critic from Metal Hammer magazine writes about the band's latest output: "We have only just gotten used to the fact that Whitechapel musically opened a new, quieter chapter in their band career with 'The Valley', which continued on the 2021 work 'Kin'. Those who expected a continuation of that will be not only surprised but also overwhelmed by 'Hymns Of Dissonance'!" He summarizes the relentless death storm as follows: "For over ten tracks, it rages on in every shade of red rage. The blastbeat machinery fires incessantly, and Philip Bozeman's diabolical vocals swing between growling growls and hissing shouts." There is truly no room for sentimentality.

BAD MOON RISING

Creedence Clearwater Revival provided the soundtrack for an entire generation. Immortal classics like "Proud Mary," "Bad Moon Rising," "Have You Ever Seen The Rain," or "Fortunate Son" are still part of rock history today. With Creedence Clearwater Review, one of the best British CCR tribute bands brings these timeless songs back to the stage. On February 21, 2027, the formation will be at Z7 with their "Bad Moon Rising Tour."

Creedence Clearwater Revival were among the most successful rock bands in America at the end of the 60s and the beginning of the 70s. Although their joint career lasted only a few years, John Fogerty and his companions left behind an impressive catalog of hits, whose unmistakable blend of rock'n'roll, blues, country, and southern rock continues to excite to this day. Creedence Clearwater Review are completely dedicated to this musical legacy and revive the characteristic CCR sound with great enthusiasm and authentic feeling. At their concerts, one classic follows another: "Proud Mary," "Bad Moon Rising," "Have You Ever Seen The Rain," or "Up Around The Bend" create a great atmosphere from the very first note. The Brits do not limit themselves exclusively to the major CCR hits but also honor John Fogerty's later works with songs like "The Old Man Down The Road" and "Rockin' All Over The World." An exhilarating journey back to the golden era of American roots rock.

EXPLOSIVE ENERGY

With the current album "We Should Be Buried Like This," the Finnish modern death heroes Bloodred Hourglass present themselves more uncompromising, harder, and darker than ever before. In the spring of 2027, BRHG will come to Z7 for one of their explosive live performances. The supporting acts Brymir and Pridian also leave nothing to be desired.

Founded in 2005 as a thrash and groove metal band, Bloodred Hourglass from Mikkeli, Finland, has over the years distanced itself from its roots and developed into a dominating force within the modern melodic death metal scene. Across seven full-length albums, BRHG have consistently evolved their sound while integrating new elements without losing their characteristic intensity. With the last album "We Should Be Buried Like This," Jarkko Koukonen (vocals), Lauri Silvonen (guitar/vocals), Jose Moilanen (bass), Jarkko Hyvönen (drums), Joni Lahdenkauppi (guitar), and Eero Silvonen (guitar) have once again created compelling soundscapes where melody and aggression collide. With "We Should Be Buried Like This," the Finnish powerhouse delivers a bold and relentless statement, showcasing a band that continuously refines and perfects its sound. BRHG has long been distinguished by their ability to fuse the rawness of thrash and groove metal with metalcore, alternative, and melodic death into a cohesive whole. The result is as dynamic and emotional as it is heavy and entertaining—a blend that has earned them a loyal international fan base and much critical acclaim. Metal.de writes about the latest release: "The tracks are denser, eviler, and more focused than previous releases. Aggressive vocals meet synth fragments, blast beats and melody clash with one another, delivering a relentless symbiosis. No randomness, no noise—but structured escalation with a clear goal." On February 27, the tour destination is Pratteln. We are ready for an intense night filled with blazing riffs, explosive energy, and a captivating emotional depth.

GÖTEBORGER SCHULE RELOADED

The Swedish melodic death allstars The Halo Effect have shaken up the scene significantly with their albums "Days Of The Lost" (2022) and "March Of The Unheard" (2025). Now they are coming to Z7 as the leaders of a first-class package. As special guests, they are bringing the Italian heavy-goth-alternative metallers Lacuna Coil and the Finnish melodeath combo Omnium Gatherum to Pratteln.

Founded in 2029 as a fun project among friends, The Halo Effect has quickly become one of the most popular bands in the melodic death genre. Before the formation of the quintet, the musicians were already playing in popular bands like In Flames or Dark Tranquility and played a key role in the establishment of the legendary "Göteborg School" in the 90s. With The Halo Effect, the musicians wanted to "not reinvent anything new," according to singer Mikael Stanne. "We just wanted to play to our strengths and create music that feels good." The implementation of this idea resulted in the single "Shadowminds," released in 2021. The streams skyrocketed into the millions. The subsequent debut album "Days Of The Lost" was nominated for a Swedish Grammy in 2022 and promoted on tours with colleagues like Machine Head, Amon Amarth, or Meshuggah. Additionally, they won the Metal Hammer Award in the "Rising Stars" category in 2024. The rise of the all-star band was rapid. "What I liked about our first album was that everything was completely new again," says singer Mikael Stanne, who had previously been with the melodic death pioneers Dark Tranquility for many years. "We didn’t know exactly what we wanted to do. It was just a lot of fun. But then you suddenly have to produce a successor to an album that was named Album of the Year by the largest specialist magazine in Sweden. You ask yourself: OK, how do we do this now?" The solution was quickly found: to remain true to their roots while also expanding their own visions. Thus, "March Of The Unheard" has become a triumphant successor that contains everything that helped the debut to a rapid breakthrough. Songs like "Detonate" and "What We Become" bear the characteristics of the Göteborg sound, with cutting guitar riffs, energetic drumming, and sing-along choruses that have addicted generations of metalheads. Other highlights build on these thrilling foundations and take it a step further. "Between Directions," for example, adds orchestral strings that fit perfectly into the energetic repertoire of The Halo Effect. Progressive synthesizers wiggle at the beginning of the opener "Conspire To Deceive," "Our Channel To The Darkness" explodes from contemplative acoustic guitars into a heavy metal storm, and with the instrumental "Coda," the album finds a choral and symphonic conclusion. "March Of The Unheard" is not just another masterpiece of Göteborg melodeath; it shows that the musicians, even 30 years after the breakthrough of the genre, have plenty of fresh ideas to continuously advance this kind of music.

SCHANDMAUL ARE BACK ON THE BIG VOYAGE

After five years of stagnation, it’s finally time to set sail again! Schandmaul returns with their new album Sternensegler to the big stage and brings their unmistakable mix of folk, rock, and storytelling magic to the Z7. On 05.03.2027, the band invites their loyal followers to embark together on new musical waters. As a special start, the Franconian folk rockers Gossenpoeten will contribute the first chapter of the evening.

Originally intended as a musical signal for departure after a prolonged dry spell, Sternensegler (scheduled for release in mid-2026) marks the beginning of a fresh era for the Munich folk rockers. The seven musicians present themselves more united than ever and boldly take the next step in their development. With their new album, which combines catchy melodies, poetic lyrics, and impressive soundscapes, Schandmaul expands their familiar sound with new facets – while not losing sight of their roots. Led by band leader Thomas Lindner, who smoothly switches between guitar and keyboard, the formation has recently been joined by frontman Till Herence. With his distinctive voice and fresh energy, he brings additional dynamism to the stage, while the band, as a tight-knit crew, charts a course for a new chapter. Together, they invite their audience to throw everyday life overboard and sail with them through stories, myths, and adventures – in the style of that Schandmaul magic that has been moving hearts and legs for years.

HERZBLUT AND HARDNESS

The symphonic metal band Serenity will come to Pratteln next spring with a new album. The "Melancholia Tour 2027" brings not only new songs and various classics, but also a reunion with former singer Clémentine Delauney (Visions of Atlantis), who will actively support the band on several songs. The Italian power metal pioneers Secret Sphere will be the opening act. The opening act will be announced soon.

Fans of symphonic and opulent metal sounds have long been excited by the name Serenity, as the Austrians have continually refined and perfected their sound over the years. They tell stories from long-gone times, accompanied by melodies with catchy hooks and an unparalleled sound spectrum. The band is a prime example of epic symphonic and melodic metal, brilliantly balancing hardness and heart. Twenty years have passed since their first album, two decades in which the band has brought their compelling, orchestral sound, often featuring powerful choirs, to various headliner tours and as support for bands like Epica, Delain, or Leaves' Eyes on stages across Europe, earning a reputation as a must-see live act. The band's albums are symphonic metal masterpieces that showcase the extraordinary musicianship and powerful songwriting of the members. In spring 2027, Serenity will embark on a major European tour with their new album "Melancholia" to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of their debut album. In addition to the new songs, fans can also look forward to numerous classics from two decades of band history. A special highlight of this tour will be the guest appearances of former singer Clémentine Delauney (currently with Visions of Atlantis and Exit Eden), who will take the microphone for selected numbers. This promises unforgettable concert evenings and very special moments for long-time companions and new fans alike.

THE DEAD DAISIES: ON THE ROAD AGAIN

New album - new tour. 2027 will be a Dead Daisies year! David Lowy's all-star band featuring John Corabi and Doug Aldrich will return to the studio in 2026 to record new music. In spring 2027, the musicians will present their new material on an extensive album release tour.

“A new album will come out in 2027!” The Dead Daisies informed us in October 2025. Of course, we want to see the band with their upcoming work again here at Z7. Since 2012, the Australian guitarist, businessman, and former aerobatics pilot David Lowy has celebrated his love for elevated classic rock with the formation. In the all-star group, he unites some of the hottest names in rock history. Currently, guitarist Doug Aldrich and bassist Michel Devin, both former Whitesnake musicians, are on the team, while Tommy Clufetos (Black Sabbath, Ozzy, Alice Cooper, etc.) handles the drums. Together with frontman John Corabi (Mötley Crüe, Union, The Scream), they form a top-tier lineup for this fantastic supergroup. Over the past twelve years, The Dead Daisies have shared the stage with some of the biggest bands in rock history, including Kiss, Guns N' Roses, the Scorpions, Aerosmith, Def Leppard, Bad Company, Whitesnake, ZZ Top, Foreigner, Judas Priest, and the Hollywood Vampires. They played headliner shows in Europe, Japan, North and South America, performed for rock lovers in Cuba after the end of the embargo in 2015, and thrilled 300,000 fans together with a 60-piece orchestra at the “Concert For Freedom” in Poland. The Dead Daisies also rocked with hundreds of thousands of fans at prestigious festivals such as Download, Wacken, Graspop, Hellfest, and Sweden Rock. In autumn 2024, the Daisies were last our guests and delivered a fantastic best-of show—with Reb Beach as a substitute for the ailing Doug Aldrich. Currently, the musicians are working on new material to return to the studio in 2026 and release their next album in 2027, just in time for the tour.

MONGOLIAN METAL MASTER

Heavy guitars paired with ancient Mongolian instruments and singing techniques create an exotic and compelling sound mix on Uuhai's debut album "Human Herds." After their impressive performance at the "Motocultor Tour 2026," the musicians from the metropolis of Ulaanbaatar return as a shining headliner to our hall.

With bands like The Hu or Nine Treasures, Mongolian rock music has experienced a significant upswing in recent years. The rising stars Uuhai also give the Mongolian steppe a new, captivating soundtrack with their mix of traditional horsehead fiddles, heavy metal guitars, and typical throat singing. After their first music videos garnered millions of views, the seven-member band released their debut album, "Human Herds," in January 2026 via Napalm Records. With impressive stories about the stunning nature of Mongolia, Uuhai presents themselves as attentive tour guides through their homeland and adeptly navigates between its cultural roots and modern society. On stage, the band offers a unique experience. Their indelible impression on all who have had the privilege of attending their concerts makes them strong ambassadors for Mongolia. Their remarkable success across Europe began in 2023 with a spectacular festival tour that attracted around 200,000 viewers at renowned events like Bloodstock, Motocultor, Leyendas Del Rock, and Rock Castle. Their fascinating stage presence and revolutionary music captivated the masses. With another tour through Europe, Uuhai continued their meteoric rise in 2024. A significant step was their performance at the prestigious Hellfest Open Air, highlighting their growing recognition among metal audiences. During their last visit to us at the Z7 in January 2026, for the "Motocultor Tour," Diebuehrers.com wrote: "Mongolian throat singing, traditional instruments, and heavy metal riffs fused into a sound that immediately captivated. The band radiated immense joy of playing, moved constantly, sought closeness to the audience, and gradually enchanted the hall. Songs like 'Ancient Land' or 'Khar Khulz' developed a hypnotic pull that few could escape. At this point, it was clear: Uuhai were not just support, but a full-fledged headliner – exotic, powerful, and absolutely convincing live."

Culinary delight and thrill: Guests at Hof zu Wil in Wil are offered quite a lot: Exquisitely served, spontaneously staged. The Kriminal Dinner – a delicious multi-course menu in a stylish ambiance framed by an interactive crime piece:

`A Thick Crime`

The absolute highlight in the quaint Swabian town is the annual performance by the cultural association. This year, due to great success, the play "Faust I" by Goethe will be performed again. However, the main role must be recast in a public audition. The board of the association has warmly invited the local population to participate. The well-known actress of Mephista, Linda Bergmann, is also present to assist. The audition goes surprisingly well until a sudden death throws the relaxed evening into chaos. Are there criminal machinations at play? Who can trust whom now?

The previously flawless cooperation of the cultural association and the small Swabian community shows cracks and threatens to fall apart. Marlene Dieterle, not only the chairwoman of the cultural association but also a commissioner and head of the homicide department, takes over the investigations.

Ultimately, all threads lead together:

What happened during the previous night at the extravagant farewell party of the former Faust actor? Could there have been a mix-up between play and reality? The case is painstakingly reconstructed, with some guests coming under suspicion. Commissioner Dieterle urgently requests assistance to solve the mysterious case.

The tempting multi-course menu is served and created by the kitchen team at Hof zu Wil. The thrill for nerves and palate starts at 5 PM, with entry from 4:30 PM.

Entry: 4:30 PM / Menu and theater piece are included in the price / Table and seating will be assigned on site.

Sometimes an evening is enough to set something in motion.
This evening is not a classical concert. It is a shared experience. This evening invites you to arrive within yourself.
It’s about being human in all its colors. About inner processes, about healing, about trust in life & about the simple truth that you are not alone.

Between music and stories full of love, an atmosphere is created where closeness becomes palpable.
An atmosphere in which music, words, and energy work together & a space is created where feelings are welcome.
We dance, meditate, laugh, and feel together. And of course, there is music.
You will experience songs that give you courage when life challenges you. Music that heals, and lyrics that remind you.

Many experience here for the first time how music not only entertains but also strengthens, comforts, and opens new perspectives.
The vision behind this evening is a collective. A togetherness under the sign of the good.
A gathering of people who may feel unfamiliar and yet meet on a deeper level. It is exactly there that connections are formed that last and resonate far beyond the evening.
Come by and experience an evening that will move you deeply.

Note for families:
The concerts also include quiet, meditative moments and sensitive passages. To enable a harmonious experience for everyone, we recommend bringing children aged about five years and older. Please take responsible care of suitable hearing protection, as the music can be loud at times. Our team is happy to assist you with that. Thank you for your mindfulness.

The Swabian Crime Dinner 'Sherlock Holmes and the Poisoned Maultäschlesupp' - a delicious course menu in a stylish setting framed by an exciting criminal case at the Burgdorfer Schützenhaus in Burgdorf.

'Sherlock Holmes and the Poisoned Maultäschlesupp'

Yes, you read correctly, the famous master detective Sherlock Holmes and myself, Dr. Watson, have found ourselves in Swabia. Admittedly, not entirely voluntarily. But our genius could not decline the invitation of an old acquaintance, Baroness von Zuckerberg, to a gala dinner once again. So here we are dining at the same time in the adjacent room of the restaurant where you will enjoy a delicious 3-course menu this evening.

Fleeing from his table neighbor, the endlessly chatty Swabian Baroness, the detective narrowly misses the alleged murder of the hostess's husband, Baron von Zuckerberg.

Granted, his health was not the best. But to suddenly fall face forward into the Maultäschlesupp is not the proper English way to die, even in Swabia. However, for Sherlock Holmes, the previously deadly boring evening is saved.

A dialect crime is on the horizon, an extremely tricky case at that, as the investigation results seemingly exclude any influence of poison. Questioning the witnesses, the forensic pathologist, and some of the dinner guests makes many innocence appear suspicious in the room. The famous detective eagerly and in high spirits engages his little grey cells. "Swabian cunning" quickly takes hold, but no false housebuilder can deceive the master that easily. For him, the solution to the case is clear soon. As always, he leaves us in the dark for a while before the murderer is skillfully captured.

But maybe you will have the solution soon as well, as you also have a word to say that evening.

The 3-course menu is served by the catering team at the Burgdorfer Schützenhaus. The Crime Dinner will start at 7:00 PM, promising thrills for your nerves and palate. Admission is at 6:30 PM.

Admission: 6:30 PM / Menu and theater piece are included in the price / Table and seating will be assigned on-site
