Haus Auensee, Leipzig, Germany
10th to 11th November 2012
Gothic meets Klassik Day 1: Chrom, Rabia Sorda, Staubkind, Blutengel, VNV Nation
Leipzig became the Mecca for Gothic fans once again, an absolutely wonderful and ingenious idea has sprung from the creative minds which seeks its equal in festival history. Gothic meets Klassik, a wonderful festival spans two days and two different venues.
The first location is Haus Auensee, a well known location for everybody who has visited the Wave Gothic Treffen WGT. This building is a much-used concert hall within Leipzig with a capacity of about 2,500 people. This capacity was fully utilized on this evening. On Sunday three bands from Saturday, STAUBKIND, BLUTENGEL and VNV Nation, would combine their musical arts with a symphony orchestra at the Gewandhaus on Augustusplatz. Take a look if you are interested in the history and background of this individual location. I started my Saturday actually pretty good until I got finally stuck in the traffic with my car. On this basis I appeared late for this concert. CHROM the first band on this evening already played and the hall was crowded by now so you couldn’t set a foot in front of the other.

013, Tilburg, The Netherlands
13th November 2012
Parkway Drive, Emmure, The Word Alive, Structures
I don’t think these guys still need an introduction here in The Netherlands. For the past couple of years, PARKWAY DRIVE has visited our little country several times and each and every time they blew the audience away with their brutal energetic show. Earlier this year, the audience got a first peek into their new album during their show at the Melkweg in Amsterdam. Their fourth studio album ‘Atlas’ has just been released and this evening at 013 is one of the first opportunities to see PARKWAY DRIVE play their new work.

15th November 2012
Skunk Anansie & The Jezabels
It is more than one year ago we saw SKUNK ANANSIE touring with her last album in Cologne, back than it was at the packed Live-Music-Hall. Now, the band is back with a new album, ‘Black Traffic’, and in the course of the supporting tour, SKUNK ANANSIE are also back in Cologne, scheduled for a bigger venue. But the choice for Palladium seemed a little oversized and so, the concert was moved to the smaller E-Werk, still bigger than the Live-Music-Hall. THE JEZABELS as support opened the evening.

Die Kammer
Be what you would seem to be - or, if you’d like it put more simply - Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would appeared to them to be otherwise.

Fear Factory, The Devin Townsend Project & Dunderbeist
November, and also this specific day, had a lot of concerts to chose from and it was not the easiest decision. But the chance to see Devin Townsend finally was the final drop to make me decode for the FEAR FACTORY – DEVON TOWNSEND PROJECT double concert, being opened by Norwegian DUNDERBEIST.
