The Mission, David R. Black
When THE MISSION are coming to Bochum it is always a special event because Bochum is something the “The Mission Capital” in Germany. When I arrived around 7.30, the venue still was surprisingly empty and I was a bit shocked. But very soon… latest as the support started… the venue was packed! And hot! So hot that even water was dripping from my camera lens! But no one cared about that and the venue was a big happening.

LKA Longhorn, Stuttgart, Germany6th April 2007
End of Green, Glas
Once again it was time this evening for END OF GREEN from Stuttgart to rock the Longhorn and take away their fans to a world of wonderful melancholy and sadness. This concert was a special one for the newcomer band GLAS from Austria also. END OF GREEN had decided to give young musicians a big chance and had offered the opportunity to apply to be their support this night. As Michael Setzer, EOG's guitarist, told the audience in the beginning, they had received quite a lot of demos, and had finally chosen the Austrian band GLAS, whose tape had convinced all band members. The Longhorn was well-filled, and so we were looking forward to the unconsumed trio from our neighbouring country, and naturally to Michelle Darkness and his band mates and their Depressed Subcore.

Kulturfabrik, Krefeld, Germany18th May 2007
VNV Nation, Imperative Reaction, Modulate
The Irish-British power package of the dark scene is again on tour – in Krefeld it was the last German concert – with its mix of different electronic styles as well as with Industrial, Rock and Dance elements with hard beats. Also, dark dreamy ballads and symphonic-orchestral arrangements belong to VNV NATION’s set. The recently released sixth album ‘Judgement’ can be counted as the most powerful, varied and complex work of the duo, as some fans and critics say. This evening in Krefeld again promised to be a packed and energetic show.

Underground, Cologne, Germany16th May 2007
Stone the Crow, iO
After several headliner tours and support slots for bands like INCUBUS, PAPAROACH or 3 DOORS DOWN, STONE THE CROW are counted among the very good live bands. With the new album ‘Fitting the pieces’ the four guys have new material which wants to be presented live on stage. Catchy chant melodies lie over a pushing rocking instrumentation and striking riffs and remind of giants like TOOL, A PERFECT CIRCLE or FILTER. Support on the evening in Cologne was the new band IO. The band members are not unknown though: Dennis, Henning and Stefan were ¾ of the GUANO APES and singer Charles was working with international artists such as SHAGGY or MARY J. BLIDGE.
