Castle Rock Day 2: Hämatom, In Legend, Adversus, A Life Divided, Xandria, Gothminister, ASP’s von Zaubererbrüdern
The second festival day had a quite mixed program to offer, which was overall more guitar oriented… just fitting very well to the festival’s name. NDH/ Thrashers of HÄMATOM opened the second festival day in the brightest sunshine at 13:00 PM.

Castle Rock Day 1: Schwarzer Engel, The Beauty of Gemina, Tanzwut, Mono Inc.
Castle Rock - the music festival from fans for fans in Mülheim’s Castle Broich - gained a constantly rising popularity and reputation as familial, but always top-billed festival within the thirteen years it is taking place now. As it was sold-out once again in 2012 and had an excellent line-up, as usual, this was reason enough for me to take the 350km travel to Mülheim and have a closer look on the festival personally.

Amphitheater, Gelsenkirchen, Germany
23rd and 24th June 2012
Blackfield Festival Day 1: X-Divide, The Exploding Boy, Pakt, Herzfeind, She Wants Revenge, In Legend, Grendel, Weto, End of Green, Roterfeld, Dreadful Shadows, The Eden House, Hocico, Deathstars, Oomph!, VNV Nation
The Blackfield Festival in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, celebrated its 5th anniversary this summer. And for this anniversary, the promoters could celebrate a sold-out festival for the first time in the festival history! The Amphitheatre Gelsenkirchen, embedded in a municipal park and located next to the Rhine-Herne canal, is surely one of the most beautiful locations in the West of Germany. But there are more reasons why the five-year history of the Blackfield Festival is a success story. The promoters of the festival have managed to book bands of all shades and sub-genres which you might outline as Goth. From EBM and Industrial to classic Gothic Rock to Synth Pop to the permanently popular bands of the Medieval Rock & Metal scene range the bands who perform at this festival. And while the Blackfield promoters tend to book the more 'mainstream' bands of the Goth scene they still rarely forget to look at the wider picture by including one of the odder act or a band which you would rather associate with Indie than with Goth.

21. Wave-Gotik-Treffen Day 3: Mark Benecke, The House Of Usher, Mono Inc., Diary Of Dreams and Peter Heppner
The third day of this year’s WAVE GOTIK TREFFEN began with a lot of waiting… it was time to see DR. MARK BENECKE. Also, bands like MONO INC., DIARY OF DREAMS and PETER HEPPNER made sure that the visitors of the Agra had some great entertainment. The weather was just as great as it was the days before, so we were off to a good start to enjoy another day at the WGT 2012.

Adrenaline Mob & Downspirit
Even though ADRENALINE MOB itself is a new band, the line-up of this group promised an extraordinary evening full of good rock music. Even though the venue was not packed, the venue was very well filled and soon, the temperature inside was heating up. People were very much excited of the things to come. But first, they had to be patiently waiting in front of the door since the sound check took a bit longer. Finally at around 8:15, support act DOWNSPIRIT were entering the stage…
