Rosenhof, Osnabrück, Germany9th May 2018
Pink Turns Blue & Alphamay
German Wave-Rock legend PINK TURNS BLUE are on tour again to tell “Untold Stories”, as the title of the tour suggests. The plan is to do more intimate club shows rather than festival shows such as the Wave Gotik Treffen or M’era Luna. The Rosenhof club in Osnabrück was probably already one of the bigger venues on this tour but it’s a great live club, anyway.

Ahoi! For the first time, 1,333 spectators could enjoy the “Unter schwarzer Flagge” festival, a special concert cruise on the ship called MS RheinEnergie that some of you know from the Amphi Festival, starting in Cologne, then driving to the beautiful small city of Königswinter and back to Cologne. Four bands, stylistically classified between Neue Deutsche Härte and Dark Rock, were on board to entertain the audience.

Therion presenting the new Metal Opera “Beloved Antichrist” + Guests: Enemy of Reality, Null Positiv, Imperial Age
When 15-year-old prodigy Christofer Johnsson launched THERION as a Death Metal band in 1987, he had no idea that exactly 30 years later, he would be putting a finishing touch to a project that would go down in history as the most ambitious symphonic metal release of all time. Although “metal operas” are no longer a rare term for the scene, but on January 26 this designation will receive a new definition once the curtain has opened for Johnson’s life’s work: ‘Beloved Antichrist’ is the title of the spectacular creation of THERION, whose length extends to three full CDs and is not just a concept album, but a completely staged rock opera with various acts. It presents a compelling story, which was roughly inspired by Vladímir Soloviov’s ‘Short Story of Antichrist’.

Ferienpark Weißenhäuser Strand, Germany27th to 28th April 2018
Plage Noire Festival 2018 Day 2 with VNV Nation, Ewigheim, Subway To Sally, Florian Grey, Die Krupps, Blutengel, Frozen Plasma, Lord Of The Lost, Johnny Deathshadow, Unzucht, Absurd Minds, Schwarzer Engel, Empathy Test
The second day of the festival began early in the morning with a group photo of many of the visitors directly at the Baltic Sea. It was really a great idea and a nice sight. Musically, the second festival day began three hours earlier than the first. That means almost eleven hours of nonstop music for the fans!
