Knorkator
KNORKATOR is a German band from Berlin that combines heavy metal with a satiric attitude. They proclaim themselves to be "Germany's most band in the world" (German: "Deutschlands meiste Band der Welt"), as the title "The best band in the world" was already taken by DIE ÄRZTE. The band was founded in 1994 but only played in the Berlin / Brandenburg area until 1998. KNORKATOR gained further fame (and some notoriety) in 2000 with their performance of ‘Ick wer zun Schwein’ (sic; literally, in Berlin dialect, "I'm turning into a pig") in the German national qualification for the Eurovision Song Contest. Their latest album is called 'Es werde Nicht', released this September. http://www.knorkator.de/

Diary of Dreams
Since 1989, DIARY OF DREAMS enchants a still growing fan base all over the world with beautiful and at times fragile tunes. Already 1.5 years after 'Nekrolog 43', the latest album '(if)' was released on 13th March 2009. In October 2009, the 'King of Nowhere' MCD including a brand new video clip has been released. In early 2010, the band was supporting UNHEILIG on their "Große Freiheit" tour. As a vanguard to the upcoming new album 'Ego:X' the track 'Echo in Me' was released digitally with the fans being able to choose what they'd like to pay for the download. 'Ego:X' has been released at the end of August 2011. DIARY OF DREAMS is Adrian Hates (vocals), Gaun:a (guitar), Flex (guitar) and Dejan (drums) supported this time on keyboards by Mauri of STONED AGE. http://www.diaryofdreams.de / http://www.myspace.com/diaryofdreams

Between the Buried and Me, Animals as Leaders, Doyle
After missing my train from Brussels to Amsterdam, I didn’t make it in time to see the take-off of tonight’s show at the Melkweg. But after a day full of public transport disasters, I was glad I actually made it there. Three bands hit the stage tonight and treated the audience to some Progressive / Hardcore metal candy.
