It is always at the farthest end of the festival season in autumn when a little festival takes place that over the years has gained considerable recognition amongst dark music lovers: The Nocturnal Culture Night (NCN), already running in its 8th edition. As every year, the festival is taking place inside the boundaries of the picturesque landscape of the culture park in a little place called Deutzen (near Leipzig). It’s not only the familiarity of the atmosphere that has shaped its reputation, moreover it is the vast assortment of bands the NCN 2013 organizer come up with every year anew that differs quite a bit from the usual. This year we were blessed with perfect weather, it was hot and sunny on Friday and Saturday and still warm on Sunday, with only very little rain.

Emilie Autumn - Fight Like A Girl Tour

If you are going to a show of EMILIE AUTUMN and expect to see a concert you’ll be probably disappointed. So you better forget about the idea of a concert in a classically sense as you will experience a kind of Victorian- Punk Burlesque/ Vaudeville show with music from the playback except a short play at the keyboard or violin. And if there hadn’t been some problems with EMILIE AUTUMN’s headset you could suspect that even the singing came from the playback. The show is part of the “Fight Like A Girl” (F.L.A.G.) world tour promoting her correspondent album which was released in 2012 based on her autobiographical novel ‘The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls’.

Front Line Assembly, Haujobb & Ivardensphere

Around their appearances at the M'era Luna Festival, FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY and HAUJOBB had a few mutual German dates as part of the European leg of the “Echogenetic Tour”, which started in Moscow with a sold-out gig. 'Echogenetic' is the title of the latest FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY album, by the way the first one which charted in Germany's Top 100! Promising a more “old school” show that is less guitars and more electronics in FLA's case, it was a must-see show for any EBM/ Industrial fan. We already had the pleasure to see FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY's performance at the M'era Luna festival, and as this one exceeded all expectations the best thing to do was doing it all over again exactly one week later at the Zentrum Altenberg in Oberhausen, Germany.
