Columbia Club, Berlin, Germany9th November 2008
Oomph!, All Ends, Mina HarkerThe Columbia Club in Berlin has a long and somewhat chequered history as a music venue being first a dance hall for American servicemen in the 50’s. It had come a long way from that yet still retains a certain retro feel to it, being neither affected cool nor very luxurious in its appearance. It is, however, a venue with great acoustics, pleasant staff and all the facilities that you would want to see a really good gig, and that’s exactly what I did when I went to see the legendary OOMPH in Berlin on November 9th. I was pleased that there were to be two support bands, MINA HARKER whom I’d never seen live but liked and ALL ENDS who were totally new to me.

Emilie Autumn
The final night of October, time for the Emilie Autumn concert in Utrecht. This night was special for another reason, it was Halloween. Because of Emilie's habit to call her audience muffins, there were girls passing out muffins. Other candy was passed out during the concert as well and paper plague rats. The audience was dressed up lovely but the ladies on stage… they looked even better and they had the attitude and the sound to match it!

Matrix, Bochum, Germany14th November 2008
Megaherz, Soon
One of the most important representatives of hard German Rock continues to follow its very own way in 2008. With a new singer and a new album ‘Heuchler’, they continue to follow the course, started with ‘Herzwerk 2’ which leads them away from the Teutonic seeming Metal of past days to modern hard rock with German lyrics. With the new front man Lex, MEGAHERZ wants to interfere in the rock circus again and they’ll go on a large-scale tour in autumn. Furthermore, the band hopes to be able to play a small tour in the US soon. But for now they’ll please the fans here with honest German metal art and on 14th November, it was time for us to join MEGAHERZ in Bochum’s Matrix.

Oktoberhallen, Wieze, Belgium18th and 19th of October 2008
Metal Female Voices
Girlschool, Eths, Benedictum, Dylath-leen, White Skull, Chaoswave, Izegrim, Ethernity, Why She Kills
Today was the day of the heavy chicks. Apparently these are a lot less popular because there was just about a third of the audience of the first day. That didn’t affect the shows however because they rocked big time.
