X, Herford, Germany
2nd July 2010
Slayer, The Haunted

When we set out to see SLAYER in Herford, the question bothering us first and foremost was if there actually would be any concert to see. Last time we went to Bochum the show was being cancelled on short notice due to health-related issues of Tom Araya. This time however the show seemed to happen and after us returning from getting fluid refreshment, the doors of the club already had opened.

29th April to 1st May 2010
Ragnarök Festival Day 1: Thormesis, Imperium Dekadenz, Grailknights, Arkona and Belphegor

Thanks to modern navigation technology, we arrived in Rieden/Kreuth at the right location after a drive of over five hours. Beforehand, the organization team announced that parking and camping would be at separate locations, which was well managed by the staff. The overall handling of the visitors improved very much compared to the last (and sadly next) year’s Lichtenfels. Fortunately, the ways from one location to the other were short and we made our way to the camping ground to put up the tents. After the car had been unpacked, the next task was to get the wristband which turned out be one of many since we got extra wristbands for camping and showering.

Columbiagelände, Berlin, Germany
26th June 2010
E-tropolis Festival 2010: Hocico, Covenant, Combichrist, Mind.In.A.Box, Feindflug, Mergel Kratzer, DAF, Cyborg Attack, Leaether Strip, She’s All That, KMFDM, Patenbrigade:Wolff

Some say it was the perfect festival weather and in some way they were right: No clouds, the sun was shining, but for me and not me alone, it simply was too warm. Anyway, after getting the wristbands and passes first thing we did was to get an overview of the festival grounds before heading into the hall where PATENBRIGADE:WOLFF would soon open the festival. Since there were overlapping stage times, we can only provide some pics of one or another band...

Ringlokschuppen, Bielefeld, Germany
22nd June 2010
30 Seconds to Mars & Carpark North

Seeing the Bielefeld show, after already been to Dortmund the week before, was not really planned. But when I got the call just the evening before, I was quite excited about a new possibility to see this great band again… well, to say already, the concert experience was at the end totally different than I was hoping for… at least when it comes to the evening’s headliner. Support act CARPARK NORTH surprised me in a very positive way once more.

Amphitheater, Gelsenkirchen, Germany
12th & 13th June 2010
Blackfield Festival 2010 Day 2: Unheilig, Subway to Sally, Oomph!, [:SITD:], Saltatio Mortis, S.P.O.C.K, Tyske Ludder, Traumtänzer, XP8

Second day welcomed us with real good festival weather. Not too hot, some clouds, lots of sun and not a single rain drop. Also, the satellite connection backstage did finally work so we were also well informed about the German team joining in the World Soccer Championship. But main reason today to come to the amphi theatre were of course the announced bands with UNHEILIG headlining the day. Winner for me today: Sweden with lots of fun and entertaining Spock’n’Roll.
