Gewandhaus, Leipzig, Germany
2nd November 2014
Gothic meets Klassik Day 2 with Solitary Experiments, Front Line Assembly & Mono Inc.

As the electro part of this festival was finished the day before, now the classic part with the help of an Orchestra dawned. This time at Leipzig’s Gewandhaus, already a lot of well and appropriately dressed fan were waiting to see SOLITARY EXPERIMENTS, FRONTLINE ASSEMBLY and MONO INC. performing with the Orchestra from Zielona Gora ( Poland). The doors opened on time, so people could go on waiting in the foyer, have a drink or two and talk a bit till the doors opened for the show. To those who would like to get more information about the Orchestra and their director and composer Czeslaw Grabowski, should check the Gothic meets Klassik website or maybe the website of Gewandhaus Leipzig, too. http://www.gothic-meets-klassik.de

Anathema & Mother’s Cake

Right after releasing their new record ‘Distant Satellites’, being already the 10th album of the band, ANATHEMA are presenting their album live in Europe. It´s time for progressive metal! The show on that day, the first day of Cologne carnival session (luckily there only were “normal” people), was sold-out. And the audience was eager to see ANATHEMA. But first, there was special guest MOTHER’S CAKE.

Haus Auensee, Leipzig, Germany
1st November 2014
Gothic meets Klassik Day 1 with Unzucht, Solitary Experiments, Suicide Commando, Front Line Assembly & Mono Inc.

Leipzig and Gothic meets Klassik have started a huge love story years ago. Today, I couldn’t imagine the fall without this kind of festival. Born out of an interesting idea, Gothic meets Klassik attracts a lot of fans from near and far every time. And it was like this this time too. When I showed up a lot of black dressed people where waiting in line to get inside of Haus Auensee to see their beloved favourite band(s). I have never seen such a long queue in front of Haus Auensee and I have been there a lot of times to see band performing.

Kesselhaus/ Kulturbrauerei, Berlin, Germany
3rd November 2014
Radical Face + Stu Larsen

It’s the 3rd November and normally at this time we have a typical autumn evening with cold temperatures, rain, wind and leaves falling off the trees, perfect for a concert like this from RADICAL FACE. But the weather countered all our habits. It was warm and dry. The venue opened at 7pm; but most of the people still waited outside far a warming up beer or a cigarette. With a capacity of about 1,000 people, the Kesselhaus, situated in the heart of the Kulturbrauerei, was almost sold out. At 8pm on time  the opening act started to perform.
