BIOGRAPHY:
Formed as a project in 1999 by Mats Kurth and Georgios G., CORONATUS released its single „Von Engeln Nur“ in 2001 and
debuted in 2003 as a complete band. First gigs as a double female-fronted band followed in 2004. The band started recording its
debut in 2006, signed with Massacre Records in 2007 and released the debut „Lux Noctis“ in the same year. The albums „Porta
Obscura“ (2008), „Fabula Magna“ (2009), „Terra Incognita“ (2011), „Recreatio Carminis“ (2013) and „Cantus Lucidus“ (2014)
followed.
CORONATUS supported Within Temptation at the Belgian MFVF, supported Crematory, went on tour with Haggard in 2011 and
played at the German WGT (2012) or the German MetalFrenzy (2014), among others. Gigs in Hungary and Transylvania are also
highlights in the band’s history.

ALBUM TITLE: Raben Im Herz
CORONATUS in 2015
It’s almost been a year since the last release and CORONATUS from Southern Germany deliver a new record!
Raben im Herz (which means roughly translated „ravens in my heart“) is the title of the new album - and it is even more
bombastic than the previous releases! Six compositions by Mats Kurth, two compositions by Oliver D., which come with beautiful
and sometimes mighty orchestral arrangements and keyboard arrangements by Dennis Schwachhofer. A cover tune by a ScottishGaelic songwriter from the 1970’s in Gaelic was newly arranged to make it sound more metal!
The compositions are playful and feature a lot of instrumental parts, which not only intensifies the joy of playing for all musicians,
but also benefits the listening pleasure due to even more musical variety.
The varied vocals are once again delivered by the duo Carmen Lorch (soprano) and Anny Maleyes (rock voice). Both singers once
again show their exceptional talent in an even broader context than before - from operatic passages to dark growls!
The bonus CD of the digipak contains instrumentals of 5 songs from the album. The focus lies on the orchestral arrangements by
Dennis Schwachhofer of Vroudenspil.
This is an album that will surely leave its mark!
