Sonic Front

- in loving memory of Christoph Renne (1976 - 2004) - German heavy electronic rock band Sonic Front released 3 full length albums and 1 EP during their musical career. The band came to a tragic halt in 2004 when guitarist and mastermind Christoph Renne was diagnosed with cancer and died in December the same year. Sonic Front had entered the studio to record their album 'pieces' knowing that time could be running out with Christoph´s conditions worsening. He finished recording almost all of his guitar tracks. It would take the band until 2007 to release their final album 'pieces'. Sonic Front was formed as a band of school mates in 1993. They gained nationwide enthusiastic reviews in the music media. Rock Hard Magazine predicted a bright future and claiming their songs to be masterpieces. Fans loved the band for their powerful live performances. Fittingly they won a rock contest (Sixpack, Hanover, Germany) thanks to their tightness and irresistible dynamic on stage. As a result they earned themselves a recording of their sophomore album ‚Depart‘. An album that was critically acclaimed and had the band make themselves a name in American college radio on KUSF. In 2004 they were the 2nd most played German band on the station only behind Rammstein. After Christoph´s first surgery in 2004 they mutually agreed they would split if their ill guitarist would some day not be able to play anymore. After the release of their final album the story of the band ended much too soon.
