Ekko, Utrecht, The NetherlandsNovember 6th 2005
Faun and Dimensia
When I arrived at the Ekko there was quite a line waiting outside. I had not expected such an audience. The show was sold out! There was a wide variety of people standing in line, dressed in outfits ranging from gothic clothes to medieval cloaks to jeans. It was nice to see that Omnia (a Dutch neo-Celtic band) were there too to support their German friends.

Paard van Troje, Den Haag, The NetherlandsOctober 20th 2005
After Forever, novAct, The Legion of Hetheria
Traffic and parking problems. When I arrived my friends had already fixed the tickets and we ran into the high-tech venue in the middle of the city-centre. Het Paard, as the locals call it, has always been the main venue for rock and metal fans in this area. I myself have seen tons of memorable concerts in the old version of the Paard van Troje. But since they totally rebuild the hall nothing has been the same (they actually just left the front of the building and rebuild the rest). Nevermind. It's an evening of melodic metal that's awaiting us, so we went upstairs and walked into the main hall.

Metal Female Voices III, Oktoberhallen Wieze, BelgiumOctober 22nd 2005
Lacuna Coil, Leaves's Eyes, After Forever, Epica, Asrai, Midnattsol, Skeptical Minds, Autumn, Mercury Rain, Elis, The Legion of Hetheria, Anachronia
The long queue in front of the Oktoberhallen were a good sign for all those bands who were coming for the third time to Metal Female Voices Fest. This time in a big hall with two stages and more bands. When the doors open, more then 1,5 hours later then planned, the dust approaches you. Soon more people come in and the atmosphere is there. For many people in the audience it is a tight planned day with soon after each other the bands. When the time comes closer to the headliner the people are more and more tired. After all a very good day. With some big respect for the organiser Philty. (SD)
