Whether Clan composite since 1993 or alone since 1996, Dennis Coles was for some time getting better, until it has now stabilized at an extremely high level and keeps this. In addition to his undisputed strong Raptechnik that makes it in itself impossible to hear from him once a weak part, but also has its own musical vision to the ensures that Tony Stark never actually seriously forfeited their relevance, but even more so , this could increase comparatively.
