Four members of the classic French heavy metal band SORTILÈGE reunited for an appearance at this year's edition of the Keep It True festval on April 27 at Tauberfrankenhalle in Lauda-Königshofen, Germany Musicians appearing at the event included: SORTILÈGE members * Christian "Zouille" Augustin (Vocals) * Didier "Dem" Demajean (Guitar) * Daniel "Lapin" Lapp (Bass) * Jean-Philippe "Bob Snake" Dumont (Drums) Guest musicians * Nicklaus Bergen (Guitar - ADX) * Lynda Basstarde (Vocals - FURIES) Video footage of the concert can be seen below.
