Pluswelt Festival 2014 Day 2 with Substaat, Blitzmaschine, Republica, De/Vision, Mesh & Apoptygma Berzerk

The second day of the festival had some surprises on hand both for audience and the bands. While the day before the music was more something for the Industrial/ Synth Rock lover, on this evening the sound was mainly melodic and somehow poppy. The event on this day was sold out. This was sensible in fact as the temperature rose quickly and the air condition was not good in fact. Nevertheless everybody enjoyed a fantastic time. And as many of the musicians were amongst the audience or could be met at the bar so that there was always the chance to have a little chat, it felt all very familiar.

Alte Seilerei, Mannheim, Germany
6th December 2014
SuperSchwarzes Mannheim with Diorama, Rummelsnuff, Blutjungs

Of course it was a strange combination. Three bands from different musical genres are going to play on that evening. On the other side, besides the great festivals, you can´t get a chance to see such different bands on the same stage. So it was interesting and we looked forward for how it will work.

Pluswelt Festival 2014 Day 1 with William Control, Protafield, Grendel, Aesthetic Perfection & Combichrist

On this weekend, the concerts agency Pluswelt Promotion celebrated its 15th anniversary. To celebrate this event properly, lots of fine (mostly) electronic bands came to make a big party with the people who arrived from different countries as the PLUSWELT FESTIVAL is known to be one of the finest ones. Conférencier on both evenings was Jens from X-DIVIDE who did this job also at the Blackfield Festival this year with an air of nonchalance. Harsh, powerful and partly aggressive sounds were presented on the first night for the fans of Industrial/ Aggrotech/ Electro music. The setting with the drum set on the left side of the stage made it quite clear who the main act is, as Joe Letz, the drummer of COMBICHRIST has always his position there.
