Aesthetic Perfection - “Into The Black” Tour 2019 - Support: Amelia Arsenic, Priest

On a very sunny Easter weekend I travelled to Frankfurt to visit my first out of two AESTHETIC PERFECTION concerts of the “Into the Black” tour. After having listened to the new album, ‘Into the Black’ which was released three weeks ago, I was really looking forward to seeing the band on stage again. My expectations were very high. And what can I say - I was not going to be disappointed at all.

Sector - North & South Fusion 2019

Sometimes there are days like this… It is Thursday evening before Good Friday and there are several great events one would love to go to. However, lucky me while the prior planned live performance with AMELIA ARSENIC, PRIEST and AESTHETIC PERFECTION at Kaiserkeller ended around 10:30 pm, just literally a few meters away at Indra Club, SECTOR were about to start at 11 pm at the “North & South Fusion” special. Unfortunately there was no chance to catch the other bands playing before, but at least I’ve made it pretty non-stressful for the headliner of the night.

Goethes Erben - Kammerkonzerte 2019

GOETHES ERBEN are sure one of the classics of the gothic scene. Founded 1989, they were important pioneers of Neue Deutsche Todeskunst with their unique style blending music, voice and theatrical elements. In 2007 GOETHES ERBEN played two last shows before a long break. Luckily, Oswald Henke revived the project for their 25th anniversary in 2013 and after that they became more and more active again, even though this time without Mindy Kumbalek who had been a core member of the band for most of the time. Nonetheless, there was a whole music theatre called ‘Menschenstille’ in 2015 and in 2018 GOETHES ERBEN published a new album called ‘Am Abgrund’. So, GOETHES ERBEN are far from just being a dusty classic. Instead, they are a band which is very alive and actively exploring new musical paths.

Aesthetic Perfection - “Into The Black” Tour 2019 - Support: Amelia Arsenic, Priest

The first gig of the “Into The Black” tour in Germany was about to hit and the legendary Kaiserkeller in the St. Pauli district (yes, the BEATLES played here) and the location that is famous for numerous underground parties and concerts filled in quickly. This Thursday night before the long Easter weekend promised to become special.

Time to immerse into the dark and emotional world of a journey through the 80ies and past decades into the present.

This April, your favourite merchandise company IMPERICON has opened the (indoor) festival season in style. And boy did they pack a punch. Europe’s biggest festival club tour has signed up so many big names for the 9th edition of their festival that the biggest challenge was certainly to decide which band to see on one of the two stages of the Turbinenhalle in Oberhausen. I decided to cover mainly the bands on the larger Monster Stage, as the stage times overlapped considerably and switching between the stages was not so easy, as the festival was completely sold out with approximately 4,500 visitors. But still, we have pictures of all bands for you!
