Cradle of Filth & Moonspell

“Cryptoriana World Tour” - Vampyric Metal fans aren’t gonna just sit at home when a cult band like CRADLE OF FILTH are in town to bring the black, the sinister, and macabre live and loud on stage. The band’s latest release with the fancy title ‘Cryptoriana - The Seductiveness of Decay’ is CRADLE at its finest being “deeply infused with Victorian gothic horror.” In celebration of their 12th album of anti-hymns “UK’s most visionary and hellish outfit” is coming to haunt 14 German cities. On February 6th, it was Bochum’s turn. As a very special guest CRADLE OF FILTH are having Dark Metal heroes MOONSPELL from Portugal on this tour. MOONSPELL’s latest opus ‘1755’ is also their 12th record and an orchestral Metal masterpiece dealing with the destructive earthquake that hit their hometown Lisbon. Without any doubt, both bands made a “shitty Tuesday,” as Mr. Filth put it, a darkly delight.

Motionless In White – “The Graveyard Shift” European Tour 2018 – Special guests: Cane Hill & Ice Nine Kills

Originally, the Metalcore Goth band MOTIONLESS IN WHITE was scheduled to play the cozy Cologne club Luxor, but due to popular demand the concert had to be upgraded to the more spacious Essigfabrik in Cologne. This is certainly a sign that things are going well for the band on its first European headline tour, of which Cologne was the last stop, before the band headed home to the US.

Nils Frahm - “All Melody“

On November 13th, the German composer finally let us all know what he has been doing during the last year... just in case we were wondering (in his own words). His new album ‘All Melody’ was released on January 26th - a symbiosis of organic instruments and electronics, embracing the listener with a wall of sound that sounds familiar and completely new as well - just like we know it from the Berlin based artist. Frahm proved over the years that there is space for electronic instruments in a classical environment. Furthermore he plays a leading role in forming the genre of neoclassic and avant-garde. After a lot of great collaborations in the last years, such as with OLAFUR ARMALDS and WOODKID, he is finally back on tour, solo, also stopping at Cologne’s wonderful sounding Philharmonie.
