Bolków, Poland
28th to 30th July 2006
Castle Party Festival: Deathcamp Project, Clan of Xymox, VNV Nation, Dust Heaven, The Birthday Massacre, Leaves' Eyes, De/Vision
Fire and ice, or I should rather say the heat and cold was what we experienced during the 13th edition of Castle Party Festival in Bolków, Poland. And I mean not only musically - the weather tested us quite bitterly, but being a tough one I managed to survive. :) Well, some institutions tend to skip the number 13 in their registers; however 13 seemed to be lucky for CP, as we had really good fun. Eighteen bands in two days, numerous DJs and DJanes from Central and Eastern Europe and abundance of visitors from all over the continent proved a splendid combination once again. Castle Party has been taking place regularly every year since 1994 and it is undoubtedly the biggest festival in this part of Europe. Being a unique event, it attracts "freaks" from Poland and abroad and provides wonderful atmosphere and great music. This year the city was taken over by the dark nation on 28th July and given back on 30th. Here's what was going on. http://castleparty.com

Fish and Nailpin
It was supposed to be a bright and shiny day, like the weather forcast announced, but the dark clouds above the festival ground on the beach proved the opposite. Nevermore a group of die-hard fans had gathered themselves in front of the stage to see Nailpin.

The Birthday Massacre
The Canadian band ‘The Birthday Massacre’ gave their first live-concert in Berlin. Their support act was ‘Jesus on Extasy’. ‘Klimt 1918’ had been scheduled as well but they could not make it due to bad weather conditions. http://www.nothingandnowhere.com/

28th July 2006
The Birthday Massacre, Atargatis, The Slimp
It was well over a year since my last visit to Krefeld, but only a few days since I saw The Birthday Massacre. That time on a very cool ship in the harbour of Copenhagen, Denmark. I was very eager to compare that performance with the one I was about to see. And of course also to catch the performances of the other two bands, that actually were quite unknown to me.

Tanzbrunnen, Cologne, Germany
22nd July – 23rd July 2006
Amphi Day 2: Frozen Plasma, Faun, Dope Stars Inc., Fixmer/McCarthy, Letzte Instanz, Samsas Traum, Negative, And One, Schandmaul
On Sunday, the second festival day, about 6,000 people made again their way to Cologne to see their favourite bands. The afternoon started very early at about 1:00 and Cologne welcomed us with clear blue sky and sun shine. Nearly perfect festival weather. It only was a little bit too warm and if you were not careful you went home with a sun burn afterwards. Today the program was running on only one stage what gave a much more relaxed atmosphere to the whole day. People were lying in the grass, enjoyed their food and drinks or just went shopping in-between the bands or when a not liked band was playing. The well mixed program again offered music from the different dark music genres.
