Apocalyptica once again present a novelty – for the first time in the band’s history, the globally successful cello rockers are going on tour with a classical orchestra. The ambitious production with the prestigious Finnish “Avanti! Orchestra” will premier in March 2014.
Apocalyptica have played over 1,000 concerts in more than 50 countries, released 7 studio albums and worked with renowned artists like Corey Taylor (Slipknot), Gavin Rossdale (Bush), Dave Lombardo (Slayer), Ville Valo (HIM), and Till Lindemann (Rammstein). The university graduate musicians, whose signature feature is to constantly explore uncharted territory, started to blend rock and metal with classical music in the early nineties, celebrating worldwide success until today.
In 2014, Apocalyptica will go on tour with a classical orchestra for the first time in their career. The collaboration with the Finnish “Avanti! Orchestra” is a long-cherished project, premiering in Finland live next March. The set will solely consist of instrumentally performed Apocalyptica songs, especially arranged for the band and the 25-piece orchestra. Following shows in Finland, the tour will proceed to Russia, Germany, Poland, Belarus and the Baltic states. Presales for these unique live events will commence from May 23rd – for now, tickets will be available via Apocalyptica.com exclusively.

Apocalyptica have played over 1000 shows in their career and visited more than 50 countries around the world. To give their fans an insight into their world on tour, the band took their friend and photographer Ville Akseli Juurikkala with them to capture the special moments and the everday life during their „7th Symphony Tour“.
The result will be released as a photo book.
But Apocalyptica wants to involve the fans even more, therefore they are cooperating with Pledge Music. Founded in 2008 by musician Benji Rogers, Pledge Music offers artists a structure to make projects possible solely by the direct support of their fans, and at the same time helps raising money for charities. Via so-called “pledges”, the fans ‘promise’ to contribute to a certain project in exchange for an issue of the product as soon as it is finished.
To quote the band:
“You as our fans have always been supportive and now we want to share the process of making this book with you. With every single “pledge”, you not only support the book’s release, but also help raising money for a good cause. In addition, you’ll receive an eBook with images, that didn’t make it to the printed version, and secure the chance of getting special merchandise, signed memorabilia and
exclusive bonus material. And we dug deep to find interesting stuff for you ... Thanks a lot for your support, we hope you’ll like the book as much as we do!”

"Thank you Finland! We had really fantastic memorable shows here in our own yard."

With shock, we have taken notice of the fact that our song “En Vie” has been used by US soldiers in their mission of war in Afghanistan for an appalling, violence-glorifying and inhuman video clip. This usage was neither requested, nor authorized. Certainly, we would not have granted such usage of our music under any circumstance.
We are working to establish an immediate ban of the video and will take legal action against the violation of intellectual property rights.

Seit Sonntag fährt der Tourbus von Apocalyptica wieder in Deutschland. Drei Konzerte spielen die Finnen bei uns:
27.02.11 DE – Munich, Zenith
28.02.11 DE – Stuttgart, Theaterhaus
01.03.11 DE – Neu-Isenburg, Hugenottenhalle
Vor dem Konzert in Frankfurt am kommenden Dienstag, den 1. März, war in Weiterstadt bei Frankfurt eine Instore Signing und Acustic Session bei Saturn im Loop 5 geplant. Diese findet leider aus schwerwiegenden logistischen Gründen nicht statt.
Aber es gibt auch noch eine gute Nachricht: Für das Konzert in Neu-Isenbrug gibt es noch einige wenige Restkarten an der Abendkasse. Also wer noch hin will, aber noch keine Tickets hat, sollte morgen früh da sein!10 JAN, 2011, 1:20 pm
RICHTIGSTELLUNG
Berlin, 10.01.2011 – betrifft Artikel auf www.anwalt24.de vom 31.12.2010. Hier im Wortlaut:
„Apocalyptica“ zahlt wegen Verletzung von Marken- und Namensrechten nach Vergleich vor dem Landgericht Berlin 45.000 Euro Schadensersatz an „Rammstein“.
Für ihr Album „Worlds Collide“ aus dem Jahre 2007 hat die finnische Cellistengruppe „Apocalyptica“ Tracks mit verschiedenen Gastmusikern eingespielt, darunter auch Till Lindemann, Sänger der Band „Rammstein“.
Das Album wurde von daraufhin mit dem Zusatz „featuring Rammstein“ beworben. Dies geschah bundesweit mit Werbeanzeigen in Zeitschriften, City-Light-Postern sowie Aufklebern auf Tonträgern. Eine Einwilligung der Band „Rammstein“ lag nicht vor.
Daraufhin reichte die Musikgruppe vor dem Landgericht Berlin Klage auf Schadensersatz wegen Verletzung der Marken - und Namensrechte an der Kennzeichnung „Rammstein“ ein, deren Mitwirkung am Album durch Verwendung des Zusatzes „featuring Rammstein“ suggeriert würde.
Über die genaue Höhe des Schadensersatzes bestand Streit. Dieser wurde auf einen Vorschlag des Gerichts durch Vergleich vom 21.10.2010 beigelegt. Die Parteien einigten sich auf die Zahlung von 45.000 Euro als angemessene Lizenzgebühr. Das Aktenzeichen des Verfahrens lautet: 16 O 570/08.

FAKTEN
Die Titelzeile des Artikels ist im Wesentlichen falsch: nicht die Band Apocalyptica oder ihr Management sind oder waren in den beschriebenen Rechtsstreit involviert, sondern die Band Rammstein und die Sony Music Entertainment GmbH als Nachfolger des inzwischen geschlossenen Unterlabels „Gun Records“. Apocalyptica und Halbe Miete Management bedauern die Ereignisse, hatten aber weder Einfluss auf eine Verletzung der Marken- und Namensrechte, noch Anteil an jedweden daraus resultierenden Vereinbarungen.
Richtig ist, dass „Gun Records“ wider entsprechender Absprachen, Werbeanzeigen mit dem im Text genannten Zusatz veröffentlicht haben und die Band Rammstein daraufhin Klage gegen die Sony Music Entertainment GmbH als Mutterkonzern eingereicht hat. Richtig ist weiterhin, dass die Sony Music Entertainment GmbH und Rammstein einen Vergleich vereinbart haben, dessen Einzelheiten sich jedoch der Kenntnis von Apocalyptica und Halbe Miete Management entziehen.
Bei weiteren Artikeln zum Thema bitten wir um die korrekte Wiedergabe der Fakten.
