Mystic Festival 2006 Day 1: Xandria, De/Vision
After some years as “Rock im Warndt” the festival changed 2006 into “Mystic Festival”. Therefore the organizers created a whole new concept and obliged some new and many well known bands. In the former coal-mine were enough space and possibilities to make a good festival. Because of the setting near to France and Luxembourg also people from those countries could reach the festival easily.

Paradiso, Amsterdam, The NetherlandsMay 4th 2006
Epica, Ebony Ark, Asrai
When approaching Paradiso I saw a large crowd of black people, it appeared some had been waiting there since three in the afternoon. Just after 7 o’clock the crowd cheered for joy when the doors to opened. Just like Epica these fans had all finished their “Road to Paradiso” and their reward was waiting inside.

Universal D.O.G., Lahr, Germany
April 22nd 2006
Faun, Diorama, Kirlian Camera, Covenant
For the 17th Dark Dance Treffen in Lahr we decided to take the long way down to the south of Germany to see once again one of our all-time favourites Covenant besides some very nice other bands too. We arrived early enough at the venue to see Covenant’s sound check and get a short impression of what to expect later. Because we still had lot’s of time we decided to have some food nearby and returned to the venue around seven. The Universal D.O.G. is a very nice venue with several different rooms where the concerts took place and where different dance floors were spread. In the out-door area there was another dance floor as well as a merchandising market and an area where you could get food and where they held some BBQ. http://www.dark-dance.de

Paard van Troje, The Hague, The NetherlandsMay 11th 2006
Gorefest, Thanatos
On this wannabe summer day, I left pretty early to Den Haag. When waiting in sun I see already a few of people walking around in Gorefest merchandise. Perhaps they had the same idea as me to enjoy the sun and the city before the concert starts. As the temperature is pretty high I was afraid it would be too warm in the venue as well, but after all I can only conclude it was not that warm inside.

Sphere of Souls, NovAct
Prog metal is hot! A lot of musicians feel the need in the last years to make complex and progressive music inspired by (most of the time) bands like Dream Theater. Result: a thousand copies claiming to be new and different. But some bands actually do make a change.
