Bunker, Dresden, Germany16th December 2023
Fixed On Black Festival 2023 with Fïx8:Sëd8, Black Nail Cabaret, Mildreda, Amorphous, ner\ogris
What a way to conclude the concert year! An absolute firecracker! Fixed On Black Festival, featuring an incredibly amazing line-up, drew crowds of fans, and I must admit, it was well worth it. It’s quite rare for me to rate all concerts so highly, but this time, the selection of artists was perfect - the real creme de la creme of the dark electro scene. Both, the headliner, FÏX8:SËD8 and the amazing MILDREDA and BLACK NAIL CABARET, are the absolute top class of this scene, and I must admit that these ratings are completely justified. Apart from FÏX8:SËD8 (which I saw for the second time), the remaining bands were an absolute concert enigma for me. I know their fantastic albums, such as the newly released ‘Blue-Devilled’ by MILDREDA, or the fantastic ‘Autogenic’ announcing the new BLACK NAIL CABARET release ‘Chrysanthemums’, but I hadn’t had the pleasure of seeing them live. And I assure you - it was worth it!

Palladium, Cologne, Germany 12th December 2023
Feine Sahne Fischfilet - “Weil’s Jeden Tag Brennt Tour” - Special Guests: Stage Bottles
In times of the so-called poly-crisis, it is refreshing to have a constant in life, which remains the same through whatever may come. The power of four chords, catchy melodies, and lots of beer thrown into the mix is such a thing. And nobody masters this combination better than FEINE SAHNE FISCHFILET. Authenticity and honesty have always been a top priority for the band, their “making themselves straight” even in the face of headwinds, their constant offensive stepping out of their comfort zone even when it hurts, their unconditional sincerity combined with a stage presence that is second to none, all this has made FEINE SAHNE FISCHFILET one of the biggest and most important rock bands in the German-speaking world. Their followers love them dearly for it. And they came out in numbers on this rainy Tuesday evening in Cologne to celebrate their heroes.

Palladium, Cologne, Germany 11th December 2023
Sleep Token - “German Headline Rituals Tour” - Special Guests: Health
“Third time is a charm”, or so they say. It seems the appetite of the fans for live performances from SLEEP TOKEN in Germany is pretty insatiable, as the third show within 12 months sold out in a heartbeat. The genre-defying superstars of Alternative Metal, Post-Rock, Progressive Metal, Indie Rock as well as Ambient, with traces of Tech Metal, Djent, Pop, and R&B around the mysteriously masked singer Vessel have definitely mastered the secret sauce of attracting their young, and predominantly female audience. This could very well be observed in front of the Palladium, as a long line of people matching that description stretching out for hundreds of meters waited excitedly to be let into the venue.
