HEAVENS GATE / MASTERS OF CEREMONY

“Heavy metal miracle”

Are you ready for the heavy metal miracle? The masters of melodic power metal, HEAVENS GATE will be playing for one and only time at Rock Hard Festival Greece!

Nobody thought this would ever happen, so grab this opportunity to watch for what may be the last time, some classic masterpieces played live by Sascha Paeth, Bonny Bilski, Thorsten Müller and Robert Hunecke of HEAVENS GATE.

After almost 25 years, the heavy metal community will come together to pay tribute to one of the best power metal bands. Their albums “In control”, “Livin’ in hysteria”, “Hell for sale” and “Planet E.” were the epitome of powerful, creative and melodic metal and for a decade, HEAVENS GATE were on the peak of the German metal scene. Even though they stopped touring and releasing music, everyone has been asking for a comeback, because fans are eager to listen to their timeless classics.

Out of Wolfsburg, the long-haired youngsters could not expect the impact they would make when starting in the late eighties, but their world-class songwriting and innovative style, transported HEAVENS GATE to power metal leaders into the nineties, recognized by peers and fans worldwide.

HEAVENS GATE will join the current band of Sascha Paeth, MASTERS OF CEREMONY, who will play for the first time in Greece. Sascha Paeth’s MASTERS OF CEREMONY came out of nowhere in 2022 to release their amazing debut album. A versatile record from world class musicians with a modern sound, that showcases the virtuosity of the guitarist and the tremendous range of Adrienne Cowen. Being the rising star with her tremendous vocal range and growls, Adrienne has lead SEVEN SPIRES and earned a permanent spot in AVANTASIA. The band, as the name implies, is the creative child of guitar hero and power metal guru Sascha Paeth, who has been the producer, guitarist and reliable alter-ego of Tobias Sammet in AVANTASIA. Their show will be an explosive showcase of their capabilities. Adrienne will take over vocal duties on the HEAVENS GATE songs together with another Wolfsburg legend, Herbie Langhans, the vocal powerhouse of Greek metal export FIREWIND on this unprecedented metal event of the year.

The news of this one and only performance by HEAVENS GATE, will strike hard the hearts of all true metal fans of this genre, who never expected to see them playing live again. ONLY in Rock Hard Festival Greece!
