König-Pilsener Arena, Oberhausen, Germany2nd November 2008
Leonard Cohen
On short notice we got the accreditation for this concert and couldn’t believe that it actually worked out. That it wouldn’t become any ordinary concert was clear right from the start; however we couldn’t divine what an evening it would become, when LEONARD COHEN visited Oberhausen…

EMILIE AUTUMN – Alice in Victorian Wonderland
The richly talented, innovative pink-red-haired princess of "victoriandustrial" EMILIE AUTUMN (born September 22 1979 in Malibu, California) is back on tour. Brought up as a concert violinist since age of four, and trained in conservatoires around the world as a performer, composer, conductor, and music historian, Emilie's bizarre background is the element that makes her music so exceptional. Her second full-length non-classical offering entitled, ‘Opheliac’ is a concept album about women, water, suicide and "I Want My Innocence Back".

Château de la Princesse d'Arenberg, Raismes, France13th-14th September 2008
Raismes Fest 2008 - Day 1:
Ace Out, Sammsara, Herrschaft, E-Force, Dreamlost, Glyder, Excalibur, Inactive Messiah, Virus IV, Mass Hysteria, Nilfheim, Y&T, Saxon
This story starts on an ordinary Saturday, somewhere mid September. The weather forecast isn’t that splendid, but there’s hope we’ll keep it dry. Unfortunately the weather gods in the northwest of France didn’t feel like obeying… at least not until the day after. I must admit I never heard of Raismes until a couple of months ago when a friend invited me to write a review of this little gem yet to be discovered (by me that is).

Luxor, Cologne, Germany26th October 2008
Saybia, Blake
The Danish band SAYBIA was guest at Cologne’s Luxor (former Prime Club). For me it was a premier, but as I only heard good things about them and the samples on their MySpace profile convinced me as well, I was looking forward a great show…
