König-Pilsener Arena, Oberhausen, Germany
29th December 2007
On a Dark Winters Night: Van Canto, Tarot, Jesus on Extasy, Dope Stars Inc., Amorphis, Blind, Letzte Instanz, Nightwish
It was a fixed date for every Gothic and Metal Fan when the festival was guest in Oberhausen even though the information on the line-up were rather spare, the name NIGHTWISH was enough to make the hearts of Metal Fans leap for joy and more than once we saw people with NIGHTWISH shirts passing us by. The venue got fuller and fuller but unfortunately a truck with basic equipment for the stage had not arrived yet and so everyone was wondering when the show would finally start. After a long waiting time, the show finally started with a delay of two and a half hours...

THE HUMAN LEAGUE & ONETWO
THE HUMAN LEAGUE, legendary and groundbreaking Synth Pop pioneers of the 1980s, made their live reunion a couple of years ago and proved that their are still a force to be reckoned with. In winter 2007 they returned to the road with a pretty unusual concept: the ‘Dare!’ tour, named after THE HUMAN LEAGUE’s most critically acclaimed and most successful album from 1981! As unorthodox it is to focus a tour a 26 year old album, the fans truly looked forward to this special event.

Darkstorm: Down Below, Emilie Autumn, Suicidal Romance, Corvus Corax, Frozen Plasma, Das Ich, [:SITD:], Project Pitchfork, Suicide Commando, VNV Nation
The Dark Storm Festivals in Chemnitz and Berlin are some kind of tradition for Christmas. Like last year, we made it again to the festival in Chemnitz on 25th December, again with well-known bands of different fields of dark music. Lovers of Electro, Goth and even medieval music have been satisfied during the evening at the Stadthalle, where lots of people had gathered for this event - more than 3,000 to be exact. So, the venue was really packed and granted for a good mood during the evening.

POTHEAD
POTHEAD is a Grunge band from Berlin. The band's name derives from an Anglo-American slang expression to call marijuana consumers. The band was founded in 1993 by the two brothers Brad and Jeff Dope from Seattle. On a vacation in Europe at the beginning of the 1990s they got the idea to try their luck in Germany. So they settled in the German capital Berlin, where they met with some drummers until 1994 Sebastian Meyer joined the band.

Apocalyptica, Larcrimas Profundere
It was a very cold evening but tonight the 013 in Tilburg would be heated up by five men from Finland. With their fierce cello's and thundering drums. The venue was incredibly full. Even the balconies were filled up. If you were too late... all good spots were taken. And I was late, on my way to the concert there had been an accident and thus I had to miss Lacrimas Profundere. That is why there is no extensive report on their performance.
