One year after their celebrated Palladium gig with WHILE SHE SLEEPS and COUNTERPARTS, ARCHITECTS were once again delighting fans in Germany by paying them a visit at the Mitsubishi Electric Hall in Düsseldorf. This time, the British Metalcore icons from Brighton were accompanied by BEARTOOTH and POLARIS as support acts, as well as by a ton of new songs from their new album ‘Holy Hell’, which was released on November 9th,2018. All in all, this evening had everything you could wish for in terms of a good start into 2019.

Nightwish - “Decades 2018” - Support: Beast in Black

I had booked a flight to Helsinki to see MUSTA PARAATI at Nosturi when I realized that NIGHTWISH would play the final gig of their “Decades” tour in Helsinki the day after. By that time Hartwall Arena was sold out, but I was lucky and found a seating ticket with excellent view. I took the train to Pasila and I have to say, the guys at HSL know how to get more than 12,000 people to the venue without any delay. Security check was pretty fast and there were nearly no waiting lines. Near the entrance to my seating area I found a cloak room, and left my warm winter coat there for I believed a T-Shirt and a hoodie would be sufficient (I would regret leaving my coat there later that night).

Icon Of Coil - Tour 2018 - Support: Telemark

It is 27th December, so the first day after Christmas and what would you like to do the most? Right! Let’s go to a gig of electro pioneers ICON OF COIL in the fabulous location MS Stubnitz (a historical museum and event ship!) in the harbour of Hamburg. Though I just came back from an extended tour of another Norwegian band (SEIGMEN), it was my pleasure to finish my concert year with another Norwegian “classic”: ICON OF COIL, supported by the Swedish project TELEMARK (you can also see both main characters play in the same band - COMBICHRIST).

Fewjar - “Gamma Aftermath” Tour 2018 - Support: Miirtek & Marti Fischer

It was a rainy and cold day when FEWJAR played at the FZW in Dortmund. There was only one security guy to check the bags what led to longer waiting times, but an a-capella group straying into the queue made the musical debut in the evening. We were even greeted personally by the organizer. Great gesture!
