Diorama, Slave Republic
Finally, I was seeing DIORAMA live again and was curious how the new songs would be doing live. Arriving at the venue I was wondering why there was actually no queue awaiting me. Well, maybe the people would be turning up later...

Agrypnie, Der Weig einer Freiheit, Heretoir
Last year, AGRYPNIE played a tour with HELRUNAR and THE VISION BLEAK, promising to be back again as the headliner. And so they were on this rather cold Monday night in Berlin. The Magnet Club was really crowed, almost leaving no space to stand and let your hair fly to the great music. The band was accompanied by HERETOIR and DER WEG EINER FREIHEIT, which promised to be great set-up for an evening filled with excellent music. And we were not disappointed as the first tones of HERETOIR were played at around 8 o’clock…

Steven Wilson
The current success of Steven Wilson, head of PORCUPINE TREE and BLACKFIELD is incredible. Having just released a new album, he is back on German stages less than a year after his latest tour. The show in Cologne’s Live-Music-Hall was completely sold-out.

1st March 2013
Long Distance Calling, Sólstafir, Audrey Horne
It is about two years since the third, self-titled LONG DISTANCE CALLING album hit the stores. Also back then, the band invited for a record release concert in their home town. And they did the same this time for the release of their fourth long-player when the Münster based post-rockers invited fans to join them at the Sputnikhalle where already a long queue waited short past seven. The venue was completely sold-out and so it took a while until anyone finally had entered the venue where AUDREY HORNE started their set already short past 7:30.

Rote Fabrik, Zurich, Switzerland
21st February 2013
Esben and the Witch & Thought Forms
With an icy wind and snow flurries curling in gusts around the twists and turns of former factory Rote Fabrik, it was almost as if Brighton trio ESBEN AND THE WITCH had somehow fixed the weather and set the scene to perfectly match their particular glacial sound. Some bands are simply not meant to be seen in a muddy field, in daylight, so this return to play live in Zurich on such a night must have put a wry smile on the collective faces of the band. If, indeed, smiles are allowed.
