Weststadthalle, Essen, Germany17th January 2007
Therion, Grave Digger, Sabaton
Both, GRAVE DIGGER and THERION just released their new albums a few days ago. GRAVE DIGGER are some kind of heroes in the German Metal scene and are called as co-founders of True-Metal. More than ten studio albums mark their successful way. The recent album ‘Liberty or Death’ was released on 12th January. Also THERION can look back to a long band history with numerous releases with ‘Gothic Kabbalah’ being the newest one. Third band of the evening was Swedish SABATON. As you can guess, this was an evening of powerful Metal performances.

Melkweg, Amsterdam, The Netherlands20th December 2006
Corvus Corax
On a cold day in the Netherlands it was time to heat things up and dance around the Milky Way (which is the translated name of the venue). What band would be better to supply the music for such an evening of dance and fun then Corvus Corax. A band filled with musicians who have only one purpose: have fun!

Stadthalle, Chemnitz, Germany25th December 2006
Darkstorm Festival: Eminence of Darkness, Welle:Erdball, Tanzwut, Implant, Diary of Dreams, Agonoize, Blutengel, De/Vision, Covenant
hearing that one of my most favorite bands ever – COVENANT – will be playing at the Darkstorm Festival and knowing that I’ll spend Christmas not too far away I made the decision to attend the festival, taking place on the Christmas day, very fast. The Darkstorm Festival was celebrating its 10th anniversary with a very nice line-up. When we arrived at the Stadthalle just at the time when the doors opened, a huge mount of people was already waiting to go in. Entrance procedures went quite fast and soon we left the cold outside and entered the warm venue. Inside, there was a big hall with the main stage and a smaller one with a second stage where later on IMPLANT, AGONOIZE and DE/VISION were playing. In the foyer you could get food and beverages for very reasonable prices. The festival was perfectly organized and we had a great evening in Chemnitz. http://www.darkstorm-festival.de

Kulturfabrik, Krefeld, Germany23rd December 2006
Accession Festival: Faderhead, Painbastard, Diorama, [:SITD:], Diary of Dreams
Accession Records was celebrating its 10th birthday with a festival at the Kulturfabrik Krefeld presenting five bands ob the label’s artist roster. Accession Records stands for high-quality electronic music and so, the festival line-up promised an interesting evening – and an early Christmas present too for that matter. Label boss is DIARY OF DREAMS mastermind Adrian Hates who gathered several interesting electronic acts within the label. When the venue opened at 18:00 people flowed constantly into the venue and an hour later, the opener FADERHEAD saw himself in front of quite a big crowd – not that common for that early hour.
