Rosenhof, Osnabrück, Germany
03rd November 2006
Zeraphine, Entwine
Somehow, November in Germany means one concert highlight hunting the next one. Tonight, the time for ZERAPHINE has been come to perform in the very nice previous cinema Rosenhof in Osnabrück. After three studio albums, the band recently released the fourth one “Still” which is of course presented live on stage. Together on tour are the Finnish metal heads ENTWINE who released also a new album – “Fatal Design” – in summer. These two bands together are quite a strange combination – hard meats soft and fast means slow in some way. So, I was very curious how this musical mix will work.

Musikhalle, Ludwigsburg, Germany
8th October 2006
Qntal, Unto Ashes
When I saw QNTAL were coming to Ludwigsburg on this Sunday evening in October, I was sure to go there, as I know and like this band for many years now. The Musikhalle is the perfect location for such a concert; it is well restored and looks like one of these small, but very nice old theatre houses, with curtains in red velvet and fine acoustics. So I kind of felt like going to the opera when I arrived, as many of the visitors were in evening dress - only the prevalent color black reminded you of the fact that this was going to be a special evening. The audience was sitting the whole length of the concert, which I don’t appreciate very much, as some of QNTAL’s songs almost invite you to dance along. But first, the visitors were received by UNTO ASHES’ enchanting melodies.

Matrix, Bochum, Germany
29th October 2006
In Strict Confidence, Conjure One, Frozen Plasma
On Sunday, 29th October I went into the "Matrix" in Bochum to visit the 3 electro bands IN STRICT CONFIDENCE, CONJURE ONE and FROZEN PLASMA. The "Matrix" in Bochum is a very nice location - one of the biggest and most famous gothic locations in the German industrial area "Ruhrgebiet". Formerly it was a brewery and inside there are several areas. When I arrived at half past seven, the outer doors were open and a lot of people were still waiting in the foyer. Just in time at 8 o'clock the evening started with FROZEN PLASMA.

Röhre, Stuttgart, Germany
28th September 2006
Bif Naked, The Vincent Black Shadow, Neurosonic
Reminding the audience of Bif Naked at the Taubertal Festival, I felt a little bit unsure what to expect of this evening. I met her for an interview right before the show and we talked in her tour bus. I got to know a very nice and friendly woman. She talked a lot about her dogs and hobbies and about religion. With this preparation I was looking forward to the concert. Whatever went wrong at the Taubertal festival, this time it was going to be a great evening. Unfortunately there weren’t many guests at the entrance and so I was a little bit concerned, whether this will be a successful evening for the musicians or not. I only knew “Die Röhre” of some parties, but I had never been there for a concert.
