Weststadthalle, Essen, Germany

Bullet For My Valentine, While She Sleeps & Coldrain

The new album 'Venom' is out so this means a new tour. But what a surprise to hear the guys will play in a small venue like the Weststadthalle in Essen which was sold out soon. Although smaller concerts are much nicer but the BULLETS are normally on a higher level. But there was no place for their big stage with stairs and all this stuff. Nevertheless we got a fantastic metal concert, but this hall was definitely too small for the bands, the crowd surfing, all the jumping and partying.

Anathema & Conrad Keely (…and you will know us by the trail of dead)

Earlier this year, ANATHEMA played already on Bochum as part of their “Resonance - A Celebration of the entire History of ANATHEMA Music”. Now they were back for another special performance. Appearing only as a trio, the band played a special acoustic show and the Christuskirche was the perfect surrounding for such an event.

The Prodigy & Public Enemy

A while ago I had the pleasure to review the new album ‘The day is my enemy‘ and therefor I was very much looking forward to see THE PRODIGY finally live. And on the occasion of the release of this album the band is currently doing an extended tour. As this show happened on a Friday night the people were in a party mood. The venue is conveniently located close to the motorway A40 and so, it was no wonder that lots of fans came also from the Netherlands and Belgium.

Various Locations, Hameln, Germany

Autumn Moon Festival Day 2: Dope Stars Inc., Clan of Xymox, Tanzwut, Diorama, Laura Carbone, Leaves’ Eyes, Beyond the Black, And One and additional pictures of Cesair, Rabbit at War, Schwarzer Engel

As a guest of this new festival you noticed the passion and enthusiastic organisation of Dominik Wrehl and his team at every touching point. The setting was superb, the range of bands extraordinarily, the frame programme diversified and the crew unexcitedly and polite. Hameln owns another attraction by now. Bands, artists, merchants and creepy characters created the biggest Halloween party in the region Weserbergland. Autumn Moon Festival: to be continued… Read now what we think of the band playing at day two.

Gewandhaus, Leipzig, Germany
24th to 25th October 2015
Classic Day: Mesh, Anne Clark, Covenant

As the electro part of this festival was finished the day before, now the classic part with the help of an Orchestra dawned. Once again, Leipzig’s Gewandhaus opened its doors for all the well-dressed fans. And yes, Dani and I managed to be there on time, which was a good thing as no one could find my ticket first. We had some editor changes and so firstly no one could find the second ticket, then they searched and finally found it. To make the ticket thing go on, I had a seat number written on mine which didn’t exist anymore. For a few moments I thought I had to sit on the floor, but fortunately not. The seat next to the erased one was free, so I could use this one.
