Eisbrecher & Jesus on Extasy
On 22nd September the EISBRECHER anchored at the Matrix in Bochum, but it wasn’t anything but cold at the club. It was probably twice as hot as it was outside. They got company by one of the shooting stars of the scene: The German JESUS ON EXTASY.

Paradise Lost & Anathema
It was in May 2008 that PARADISE LOST released their new DVD ‘The Anatomy of Melancholy’. But that wasn’t just an ordinary release for this band which is known to be the creator of a whole new genre: The Gothic Metal, a mixture which appeared for the first time on the album ‘Gothic’ in 1991. Since then a lot of time has passed and a lot of albums have been released, culminating up to the release of their eleventh album ‘In Requiem’ back in 2007. The DVD was a gift to the fans to celebrate their 20th anniversary and for this special occasion, the band has played a few hand selected anniversary shows in Europe, the last one being the show at the Kulturfabrik in Krefeld. The support slot was taken by the British rockers of ANATHEMA.

Nocturnal Culture Night III Day 3: Leandra, Schallfaktor, The Lovecrave, Colony 5, Amnistia, Catastrophe Ballett, Heimataerde, Staubkind, Umbra Et Imago
Final day of the festival. The rain stopped some when during the night and a cool late-summer morning welcomed the festival attendees. Highlight of Sunday night for lots of people was surely the appearance of UMBRA ET IMAGO with their special show and a lot of fun they spread.

Nocturnal Culture Night III Day 2: Headless, The Pussybats, Sins Of The Flesh, Lahannya, State Of The Union, Minerve, Terminal Choice, Soman, S.P.O.C.K, Psyche, Fixmer / McCarthy
Personally, the second festival day was my favourite one with S.P.O.C.K and FIXMER / McCARTHY being on the schedule. As I learned later, that day would turn out totally unexpected. And of course, the weather would show later in “best” festival traditions… means it was heavily pouring down. But when the first bands started, it was still dry and very warm.
