Terra Gotha, Arsenaal, Vlissingen, the NetherlandsOctober 29th 2005
Clan of Xymox, Funker Vogt, Angels & Agony Misery, Zadera, Swarf
Just 100m from the sea, right next to the yacht harbour of Vlissingen there is a big amusement complex called ‘het Arsenaal’. With many halls, rooms and even an arcade hall it's the centre for Vlissingen's youth. But right next to al the flashing and beeping games there is this nicely styled theatre, home to the Terra Gotha festival of October 2005. Seven bands were booked for this edition, unfortunately we had to wait for the guestlist to arrive so we had to miss the first band of the day. But there was plenty left to see. Entering the main hall with its chandeliers and red walls this seemed to be the perfect place for this stylish gothic event.

Ekko, Utrecht, The NetherlandsNovember 6th 2005
Faun and Dimensia
When I arrived at the Ekko there was quite a line waiting outside. I had not expected such an audience. The show was sold out! There was a wide variety of people standing in line, dressed in outfits ranging from gothic clothes to medieval cloaks to jeans. It was nice to see that Omnia (a Dutch neo-Celtic band) were there too to support their German friends.

Paard van Troje, Den Haag, The NetherlandsOctober 20th 2005
After Forever, novAct, The Legion of Hetheria
Traffic and parking problems. When I arrived my friends had already fixed the tickets and we ran into the high-tech venue in the middle of the city-centre. Het Paard, as the locals call it, has always been the main venue for rock and metal fans in this area. I myself have seen tons of memorable concerts in the old version of the Paard van Troje. But since they totally rebuild the hall nothing has been the same (they actually just left the front of the building and rebuild the rest). Nevermind. It's an evening of melodic metal that's awaiting us, so we went upstairs and walked into the main hall.
