Düsterhallen: Art Festival with Exhibitions and Live Shows by Slave Republic, .com/kill and Architect

In March, 2015 Janine Werner, Christian Licht and Adrian Hates decided to make a gift for fans of dark music by throwing a soiree called “Düstererwachen”. However it turned out to be just a sign of a rise: the organisers announced a new event, a festival they called “Düsterhallen”. During following months the potential visitors were kept posted with information about the content, while the organisers slowly laid cards on the table one by one, and with each one the interest for this new project grew more and more. And finally on 27th of June 2015, Düsterhallen took place in Solingen for the first time.

Saturday was over, but the confusion about the rescheduled bands was still there. Some missed the early playing bands like [:SITD:] or DIORAMA. But at least the whole mood and atmosphere turned into a bit of a more positive thing. While the day before people were losing their way, stumbling around, standing at closed doors and were searching for their friends, they slowly got used to the new venue and its whole area. Shops and eating possibilities were opened this day, from time to time some little raindrops were falling down but in general the weather was quite good. So please, check out what we have to say about Sunday!

Essigfabrik, Cologne, Germany
24th July 2015
9 Years Empire Of Darkness with Unterschicht, Accessory, Phosgore, Haujobb & Frozen Plasma

As you all might have noticed, the Empire of Darkness (EOD) in Cologne was taking place at the same time as “Call the ships to port” – the Amphi Festival kind of boat thing with concerts on it. To my surprise the Essigfabrik was quite full of people, waiting for their band to come or just to come over and dance. Unterschicht, Accessory, Phosgore, Haujobb and Frozen Plasma delivered a very good alternative to the Amphi pre-Party at Alter Wartesaal that Friday night.
