The 69 Eyes, Mandragora Scream
That Sunday was a bleak one. Something irreversible, happening earlier that day reminded me of how fleeting life is and kept my thoughts adrift. So a distraction was more than welcome and this one came in the form of THE 69 EYES and MANDRAGORA SCREAM who turned out being good means to do the job.

Pulp, Duisburg, Germany4th February 2010
Peter Heppner & Band, Melotron
Finally, no snow on the streets anymore! Still the possibilities to get to Duisburg were limited to trains if you weren’t in the lucky position of having someone to drive you, or even drive yourself. So I arrived quite early at the venue and a big part of the remaining time was spend with waiting, luckily not alone for the entire time. Our waiting was worth the while, that’s what I can say at this point already.

Globen, Stockholm, Sweden.31st January 2010
Depeche Mode & Nitzer Ebb
Swedish winter can be a bit overwhelming but it was quite some time since we got this much snow and this cold weather with temperatures -15 to -20 degrees. In this case I believe the temperature landed around -15 and then there is a limit of how long you can manage to stand and wait outside of a venue no matter what band is playing.

Matrix, Bochum, Germany1st February 2010
Hypocrisy, Survivors Zero, Failed Perfection
A new album regularly also means that a tour is going to follow where the album’s being extensively supported. Now that time has come for the newest HYPOCRISY record ‘A Taste of Extreme Divinity’ and the band promised their fans a more than proper piece of Death Metal, a matured programme reflecting their development.

Friedrich-Ebert-Halle, Ludwigshafen, Germany21th January 2010
Manowar, Holyhell & Metalforce
Bringing along METALFORCE and HOLYHELL, MANOWAR, self declared “Gods of Metal”, graced Ludwigshafen with their presence... louder than necessary, but well – when has metal been a quiet thing? Those who had ear protection surely had a fun time, although even when MANOWAR started playing, the hall was far from being full. But the show was more than worth being there.
