Kulturfabrik, Krefeld, Germany27th January 2006
Die Krupps, Lluther, Undergod
‘Die Krupps’ is another legend which saw a return in 2005. To celebrate 25 years of existence, the band around mastermind Jürgen Engler returned on stage and also recorded new material – a new version of ‘Wahre Arbeit Wahrer Lohn’ with collaborator Douglas McCarthy (of ‘Nitzer Ebb’ fame) and the brand new track ‘Der Amboss’ featuring the girls of the British electro pop duo ‘Client’. The anniversary tour continues in 2006 and we joined the tour in a very special place for ‘Die Krupps’, the Kulturfabrik in Krefeld. Supported by ‘Undergod’ and new Industrial Metal hope ‘Lluther’, it was a night to remember!

P60, Amstelveen, the NetherlandsFebruary 4th 2006
Rotersand, Client and Covenant
When we enter P60, the first thing we receive is and inquiry about the venue. Because we, and with us a lot of people, have never been there since they do not regularly book bands as Covenant, it’s kind of strange to make us fill in the form. But since we get a free drink for it, we simply make up some answers. Not exactly the way you’d want your market research done, I guess?
P60 is a typical concert venue: large, dark rooms with an industrial look to them. The room is filling up rather slowly at first, because of the spacious look it seems even more empty. Rotersand is to kick off, luckily for them the audience moves to the stage so the usual gap between the first band and the audience isn’t present today. To me it was surprising that Rotersand was to play first, they definitely play louder and more danceable music than Client. Before and after their show I heard others in the audience wonder about this as well.

Dark Reign, Cutting Daisy, Tribal Spirits, Dark Lightning
As a Dark Music webzine we know that all the big names attract many readers but we'd like to use this to also point some attention to the future of the music scene as well as the many bands which consist of mainly good friends who have no other goal than to rock a few small venues full of friends and their friends. Some more ambitious bands came together for the Metal Battle preliminary Round in Ermelo and we reviewed them.

Dynamo, Eindhoven, The NetherlandsJanuary 25th 2006
Stream of Passion & Damian Wilson
Finally the day was there… the first performance ever of Stream of Passion. Loving their album from the first time I listened to it, I was very excited to see this show. When arriving at the new Dynamo (which looks great by the way) there was already a long line in the hall waiting to give off their coats and descend the stairs and find a place in front of the stage. Excitement was buzzing through the venue.
