P60, Amstelveen, The Netherlands25th May 2007
Pride & Fall, Rotersand, Seabound, Dismantled
It was the day when almost all the gothic people had left the Netherlands to go to Leizip and Wave Gotik Treffen. The few that stayed had a great chance to see some very interesting bands at the Dependent festival during Underground Frequencies in the nice P60 venue. Some 60 people turned up and there was a nice relaxed atmosphere amongst the audience. When looking at the line-up there was nice diverse line-up provided by the German label Dependent, so nobody should leave unsatisfied.

Subway to Sally - "Nackt" Tour
During the last decade, the German medieval Rock band SUBWAY TO SALLY has become quite famous and the darker part of the German music scene is nowadays not to be thought of without them. They are known for rank songs with rocking guitars, accompanied by sometimes mellow, sometimes fast and virtuosic violin play, but also ancient instruments like the hurdy-gurdy or different flutes. For sure their dreamy, fabulous ballads provide an attraction, too. When such a band, normally kicking up a fuss on stage and using plenty of electronic support, decides to go on a completely acoustic tour, then this plan sounds very interesting to me. They adequately gave this tour the caption "Nackt" (=Naked), wanting to reduce their songs to the core and with this evoke them to an entirely different being, with yet unknown facets and more down-to-earth. After having finished their "Nackt" tour, the band is currently working on their new release, so far entitled ‘Bastard’. But on this evening of April, one can imagine that I was really excited to see and hear how SUBWAY TO SALLY would put into action their absorbing project. The Longhorn was well filled, and so the conditions were perfect for an enthralling concert night.

Rockhard Festival Day 2: Metal Inquisitor, Maroon, Turisas, Korpiklaani, Ross the Boss, Vader, Armored Saint, Death Angel
Thank *insertnameofdeityhere* we made it home early Friday night, getting up was hard enough - and I wasn't even drunk the evening before! Oh, were things going to get nasty on Saturday. If I'd known in advance I would've just stayed put and pretended I'd snared my pinky on my key holder and hurt it. But then I would've missed out on all the fun and fairies....

WGT DAY 1: REMEMBER TWILIGHT, HOLODNE SONZE, POISONBLACK, CREMATORY, ENTWINE, AMORPHIS, THE RETROSIC and IN THE NURSERY/OPENING PARTY
The Wave Gotik Treffen (WGT) is one of the biggest Gothic festivals in the world and every year, around 20,000 people gather around at the Agra hall to party and see fantastic bands at locations all around Leipzig. This year, with bands like ZERAPHINE, ASP, UNTOTEN, EMILIE AUTUMN, FETISH:MENSCH and SUBWAY TO SALLY it was promised to be a highlight in every Gothic’s calendar. Besides those top-class bands you were able to buy clothes, CDs and all sorts of other stuff. Places like the Heidnische Dorf really made this festival special because you have all sorts of different music coming together in one whole pot. On one side, you have the classical gothic music, than you got the whole industrial side of the music up to high class metal. The WGT was definitely one of the best festivals you can think of going to. [Ruth Gräbeldinger] www.wave-gotik-treffen.de
