Wave Gotik Treffen Day 2: Lord of the Lost, My Insanity, Orange Sector, Ashes you Leave, Rabia Sorda, Omega Lithium, Rotersand, The Vision Bleak, X marks the Pedwalk, Poisonblack, Leaether Strip, Alcest, Moonspell
After a quite short night, my day started with a nice breakfast at my hotel. Then it was, no, no time for concerts, but time for a little photo shooting. Results will seen be seen in the Blackfield Festival program. But that’s another story. Since it was very nice weather and the shoot was sooner finished than expected, I made my way to the Moritzbastei to meet some friend and then have some big ice cream in the city sitting in bright sunshine. Very un-Goth, hm?

K17, Berlin, Germany19th March 2010
Moshpit 2010 - Crack O Dawn
I’m a little late with my review but I hope you are clement with me and you can trust in my memory decline. In addition I hope the upcoming show dates will disarm you… The BERLIN MOSHPIT at the K17 is a monthly date for metal fans. The K17 provided the possibility for newcomer bands to perform for a bigger audience, in that case for BALCANIUM, I CAN’T SWIM, KULTASIIPI and CRACK O DAWN. Some information about the bands you can find at our preview. Today I would like to write about one of these bands which impressed me the most: CRACK O DAWN from Berlin.

Ringlokschuppen, Bielefeld, Germany16th May 2010
Schiller
German musician Christopher van Deylen gave life to the project SCHILLER over a decade ago with his companion Mirko von Schlieffen as a club-oriented music project. But already with the second album ‘Zeitgeist’, the music veered more towards softer territory, emphasizing dense melodies and ambient textures. Even before the album ‘Leben’ came out in 2003, Mirko left the project, shrinking SCHILLER to a one man project with that. However, van Deylen’s creativity was big enough for two, even 3 persons. Ever since doing it alone he released three further successful albums with ‘Atemlos’ from 2010 being the latest one in the line. SCHILLER live is Christopher van Deylen (synths, keys), Christian Kretschmar (synths, keys), Ralf Gustke (acoustic drums), Cliff Hewitt (electronic drums), Andreas Binder (guitar), Tissy Thiers (bass), Anggun (vocals), Kim Sanders (vocals) and Kate Havnevik (vocals). http://www.atemlos.tv/ / http://www.myspace.com/schillermusic
