DEATH TO ALL TOUR (SWEET RELIEF BENEFIT): STEFFEN KUMMERER (OBSCURA) CHOSEN AS THE SECOND VOCALIST FOR THE DEATH TO ALL TOUR 2012!
Steffen Kummerer, vocalist of German technical death metal warriors of OBSCURA has been chosen as the second vocalist for the DEATH TO ALL (DEATH TRIBUTE TOUR featuring former members of DEATH), a benefit for musicians health care advocacy program SWEET RELIEF. Charles Elliott of California death metal warriors Abysmal Dawn/Bereft was the first vocalist chosen for the DEATH TO ALL: SWEET RELIEF BENEFIT TOUR.
FROM SICK DRUMMER:
We are very excited to announce Steffen Kummerer of OBSCURA, as the second vocalist for the DEATH TO ALL TOUR 2012. Steffen is an unbelievable talent and we are very excited to have him involved with this tour. The first Obscura record, to us, was very reminiscent of DEATH's Human album, so it should be interesting to say the least. Here is the official statement about the tour from Steffen:
"It was a pleasure to get the invitation to play all of those timeless classics as a tribute to Chuck and his work. To be honest, I wasn't sure if it was a good idea at all to get this project running, due to my respect for the past. The band Death is gone and will never come back, that is the truth. These shows are a nice way to show tribute to the band and their previous work and help musicians via Sweet Relief. In the end, a good thing and definitely worth visiting one or two shows. I am glad to be involved and be part of this idea to bring this music back on stage. Let the metal flow."
DEATH TO ALL 2012 – In benefit of Sweet Relief (sweetrelief.org). This 5 city tour will feature a majority of DEATH's amazing musicians, as well as special guests. This tour is to celebrate the life and music of Chuck Schuldiner, as well as to raise awareness of Sweet Relief Musicians Fund – a charity that provides financial assistance to career musicians faced with illness, disability or age-related problems.
