+ Tour Supports
Wir freuen uns extrem, euch das allererste Österreich Konzert von CAGE präsentieren zu können! Klassische Heavy Metal und Power Metal Fans sollten sich diese großartige Band auf keinen Fall entgehen lassen. Obwohl die US-Band für jedes ihrer fünf Alben nur Bestkritiken erhalten hat, gelten sie nach wie vor als Geheimtip der Szene. Wer auf kraftvollen Metal der Marke Judas Priest (zu Painkiller Zeiten), Iced Earth oder auch King Diamond steht, der wird von CAGE begeistert sein. Wir konnten die Band 2008 auf einem Festival erleben und waren schlichtweg sprachlos. Umso größer nun unsere Freude, die Band im Rahmen ihrer kommenden Europatour erstmalig nach Österreich holen zu können! Nicht verpassen!
Mit dabei sind VALSANS aus Niederösterreich, die sich mit ihrer aktuellen, äußerst professionellen Demo-CD "Sword" definitiv an die vorderste Front der österreichischen Heavy bzw. True Metal Szene gekämpft haben! You better bang your heads - Thor's Hammer will be swinging low!
Eröffnet wird der Abend von VIRTUAL DISEASE, einer jungen, aber in unseren Augen sehr vielversprechenden Heavy Metal Band aus Niederösterreich. Wir konnten uns bereits von den Live-Qualitäten der Band überzeugen und haben die Jungs noch am selben Abend für das Konzert am 16.09.10 verpflichtet!
Es kommen noch ein bis zwei internationale Bands zur Tour, mehr Infos zum finalen Line-up in Kürze!

CAGE Biography:
In 1999, CAGE released their debut cd UNVEILED, which surprised everyone by delivering a pure heavy metal record that struck at the heart of the alternative, grunge movement, impaling it with its’ metal magic. This garnered them major attention and fans of the German ROCK HARD magazine voted them as the best unsigned band of 1999. As a result of winning the competition, CAGE was invited to play at the prestigious DYNAMO Open Air Festival in Holland.
In 2001, their astonishing 2nd cd ASTROLOGY was released. The band saw them playing shows as special guests to legendary bands such as IRON MAIDEN, JUDAS PRIEST, DIO and DOKKEN among many others. Touring in support for the cd, saw CAGE playing at the world famous WACKEN Open Air Festival in Germany and the METAL DAYZ Festival in Switzerland, in addition to other festivals / shows throughout the United States.
In 2003, the band released their 3rd cd DARKER THAN BLACK and an all time metal classic was bestowed upon the masses. Fans and media worldwide swarmed to hail the cd as a masterpiece – heavy metal classic that many said could never be topped. As usual, CAGE won dozens of CD of the Year and CD of the Month awards all over the world, especially being ranked as the #1 cd in the sound check chart of the prestigious monthly HEAVY magazine in Germany. Touring in support for the cd, saw the band playing high profile worldwide festivals.
In 2007, CAGE shocked everyone once again with their epic end of the world concept 4th cd HELL DESTROYER. The critical acclaim for the new cd from the metal media worldwide was even more immense than before, as an entire new legion of fans discovered CAGE from all of the attention that this ultimate tale of Heaven versus Hell received. Once again, CAGE won dozens of CD of the Year and CD of the Month awards and for a 2nd time ranked as the #1 cd in the sound check chart of HEAVY magazine in Germany. Live support for the cd, saw the band playing their 1st ever European headlining tour which included several festival appearances.
May 2009 saw CAGE releasing their 5th cd SCIENCE OF ANNIHILATION with the band retaining all of the classic CAGE heavy metal sounds fully intact, while pushing the metal musical boundaries in every department. With the addition of former PSYCHOTIC WALTZ drummer Norm “The Legend” Leggio, CAGE turned up the energy level to 200% to put the POWER back in POWER METAL. Once again, CAGE continued winning dozens of CD of the Year and CD of the Month awards and for an unprecedented 3rd time, ranked as the #1 cd in the sound check chart of HEAVY magazine in Germany, an honor only matched by the mighty KIND DIAMOND. Current live support for the new cd so far, has seen CAGE play their 2nd European headlining tour, as well as shows throughout the United States and Mexico.
In early 2010, original bassist Mike Giordano and lead guitarist Anthony Wayne McGuiniss exited the band honorably after many years of being true to their steel.
Coming in at supersonic speed are CAGE ’s newest band members in the form of monster bassist Steve Brogden and 6 string lead guitar maniac Garrett Peters, who finally bring to fruition the deadliest and to be reckoned with best CAGE band line-up ever.
2010 touring activities will see extensive and far reaching worldwide CAGE festival / tour dates in United States, Europe, and Mexico.

Geb dir durchaus recht, auf den ersten drei Alben sind auch ein paar Füller (neben saugeilen Songs), aber die letzten beiden knallen von vorn bis hinten!!
