Dynamo Zurich, Switzerland7th August 2010
Combichrist, Dismantled
First of fall I drove to Karlsruhe right after finishing my work at the office on that Friday. The venue is really far away and so I did my journey in two steps. Then, on Saturday I reached Zurich very early when the promoter at the venue weren’t ready for opening the doors. But that wasn’t really a problem. I just discovered the surrounding and had time for some sightseeing. Then I was sitting down in the cafe right opposite the concert hall. Because of my early arrival I had the chance to listen to the sound checks of both bands. The Switzerland show was the only one without the support of RABIA SORDA and at the same time the last one of the tour.

Gothic Festival 2010 Day 3: VNV Nation, Faith And The Muse, Alien Sex Fiend, Spectra*Paris, Unheilig, The Eden House, Rabia Sorda, Bettina Köster, Star Industry, The Exploding Boy, Vic Anselmo, Erato
Well, the last day of this extraordinary festival had already come. Surprise of the day personally was THE EXPLODING BOY from Sweden with their catchy Indie Pop based on bass lines sticking in your head for a long time. Finally, VNV NATION took care for a big party at the end of the day.

De Meenthe Theatre, Steenwijk, The Netherlands30th July 2010
Gothicfest 2010: Skinny Puppy, Mindless Faith, Destroid, Misery, Dismantled, The Chaos Industry, Angelspit, Contrast
Besides all those big Scene Festivals like WGT, Amphi or M’era Luna, there are also the small ones, just like the Gothicfest in Dutch Steenwijk taking place for the first time (and hopefully not the last time) this year. The venue was rather small with room for a few hundred people and a lot of merch booths built up outside the concert area. Having SKINNY PUPPY and DESTROID on the bill was reason enough for me to take the 2 hours ride to be part of the evening. Sadly, only about 200 people decided the same way. Maybe people thought it is much farther to drive than it really was. Anyway, it turned out to be a really nice little festival…

Bang Your Head Festival, Balingen, Germany16th - 17th July 2010
Bang your Head 2010: Doro, Krokus, Artillery, Hammerfall, Dark Tranquillity, Nevermore, Queensryche, The Haunted, Twisted Sister
This is the 15th issue of the Bang Your Head Festival, beautiful located in the middle of nowhere. It was time to go back a bit in the music history and invite a lot of old school rock and metal bands from all over the world. The festival was almost sold out and started Thursday with a great warm-up show in a hall next to the festival. Headliner was good old SAXON and the evening was a journey trough the history of NWoBHM (New wave of British Heavy Metal).
