Substage, Karlsruhe, Germany 15th October 2009
Epica, Sons of Seasons
These days EPICA is releasing their 7th Album, named 'Design Your Universe', so only one good reason to go on a huge european tour again. I was really curious about their live performance at Karlsruhe's Substage, because on the 2009 festival tour they seemed to be really tired and half-hearted.

Essigfabrik, Cologne, Germany10th October 2009
Diary of Dreams, Deathstars, Lacrimas Profundere, Dope Stars Inc.
The start of the Into Darkness festival tour wouldn’t go down that smooth with a bomb thread mixing up the entire schedule and people having to wait outside the venue for nearly two hours in the freezing could. Well, I ‘m glad we had no such incidents in Cologne. The entrance procedure went by quick and soon people streamed into the nice venue, got to the bar to have a drink or two or paid the merchandize booth a visit, because there were still 30 minutes to go until the first band would come on stage.

Posthalle, Würzburg, GermanyTaubertal-Rocknacht: Skunk Anansie, Donots, Itchy Poopzkid, Fiddlers Green, Eternal Tango, The Intersphere
Every summer, the Taubertal festival - which is well-known for a hand-picked Alternative music programme - takes place in Southern Germany. On 10th October 2009, its indoor version attracted many listeners of popular international and German acts such as SKUNK ANANSIE, DONOTS, ITCHY POOPZKID, FIDDLERS GREEN, ETERNAL TANGO and THE INTERSPHERE. It was a cold afternoon when the attendees gathered in front of the Posthalle located the downtown area of Würzburg waiting for admission which should have taken place at half past 4 pm. However, there were some sound check problems resulting in a 30-minutes delay. At this point, I would like to praise the friendly and helpful Posthalle staff that finally made everything run smoothly.

Colos-Saal, Aschaffenburg, Germany30th September 2009
Cassandra Steen, Fetsum
The concert evening started in a relaxed way. I expected to be faced with a huge crowd in front of the Colos-Saal, but it wasn’t like that. After the admission had been proceeded, I entered the small hall and found a standing place in the first row. Firstly, it was pretty empty, but then the attendees gradually arrived. It was striking of what different ages the listeners were. I noticed children and pensioners as well as young couples and teenagers. Shortly before the appearance of support act FETSUM should begin, the venue had been well-filled but not overcrowded.
