Exilia, Da Impact
Milan-based band EXILIA is one of the few Italian Metal & Heavy Rock acts, and probably the only one who made a significant international impact. Part of EXILIA’s success is their intensive touring, and during the ‘Nobody Excluded’ tour we checked the live qualities of the Italian quartet.

Waschhaus, Potsdam, Berlin
24th February 2007
Terminal Choice
It was my first time at the Waschhaus Potsdam: a small, long hall with a comfortable atmosphere. It was a cool alternative to any club in Berlin. The concert should start at 21:00, but TERMINAL CHOICE (TC) were late. We had to wait 40 minutes - maybe a good decision of Chris and accessory. In the course of time more and more people gathered together. At the beginning this little hall almost was empty. Across the deceleration it became slowly fuller.

Billy Talent, Alexisonfire, Enter Shikari
With only two albums Canadian Punk Rockers BILLY TALENT pitchforked their way to the top. While their self-titled debut album, released 2003, was success-wise a slow grower which finally built a cult following for the band, the second album - simply titled ‘II’ and released last June - was like an explosion. BILLY TALENT’s popularity has been multiplied since then, the singles ‘Red Flag’ and ‘Fallen Leaves’ are on high rotation on MTV Europe, so it’s no surprise that BILLY TALENT are playing now venues which are three times bigger as the ones they did back in autumn 2005. About time to catch up with BILLY TALENT!

Kulturfabrik, Krefeld, Germany22nd February 2007
Northern Light, The World Domination
After I have seen both bands not long ago – exactly in November – in Münster during a club night I was looking very much forward a usual club gig. After the band took place in the Bundesvision Song Contest (where Oomph! Was the winner) the band is drawing more and more attention. In their home town Erfurt in Thuringia, they are playing in front of some thousands of people. But not in Krefeld, there they were scheduled for the small club in the Kulturfabrik which means it was a very intimate concert. Support act was again THE WORLD DOMINATION.

Rock Line, Tournai, BelgiumFebruary 3rd 2007
Skeptical Minds, AmAndA, Ghiribizzi
Rock Line is a small venue, actually a “rock café” where the backstage is also the front stage! The nice thing about this is that as soon as you enter the room you meet with the band members, can have a chat and eventually a beer with them. The inconvenience is that the stage is tiny and the light very poor, just a few static spots and a couple of disco like gobo flowers, which does not make the life of the photographer easy. On the other hand, as you can walk beside the stage, it is an opportunity to get closer to the drummers, which is quite unusual but an interesting and vibrating experience.
