Soundgarden, Dortmund, Germany19th April 2005
Deine Lakaien
Deine Lakaien are an exceptional appearance in Germany's music landscape. Their music, which tastefully and self-assuredly balances between classic, folk, techno, rock, industrial, goth, wave and ambient soundscapes, does not follow any current trends and is not oriented on any commercial guidelines whatsoever. And yet, the charismatic vocalist Alexander Veljanov and the classically trained composer, pianist and drummer Ernst Horn together experience a huge success with their concept of ignoring the borders set by genres and cultures. Three years after their last release "White Lies", the duet is now ready to open a fascinating new chapter in their career, with their eighth studio album, "April Skies", which also celebrates the artists' start with Capitol.

Zeche, Bochum, GermanyApril 4th 2005
Kamelot, Kotipelto and Epica
"We're siiiinging in the rain" - I sure expected a different soundtrack standing in line (and in the rain) together with about 60 heavy metal fans, waiting for the doors to open. The rain did not make the doormen open earlier, so that we finally entered the small hall of the Zeche wet, grungy and full of anticipation. As the first band started to play at 7 p.m. the room was not even halfway filled, the starting time of the concert being communicated as 8 p.m.

Within Temptation and Autumn
On this cold Friday evening Within Temptation and Autumn performed in ‘t Paard who had just won the price for night temple of the year 2005 which is of course a great honour. After waiting in line in the cold it was time to enter the venue. All bags were turned inside out and bottles of water were confiscated and never to be returned. Security made sure all was safe and checked. The entire venue was sold out and everybody was looking forward to the show.
