Philipshalle, Düsseldorf, Germany24th November 2008
Slipknot, Machine Head, Children of Bodom
It was damn cold on this Monday, but that obviously couldn’t keep some people to stand outside in T-Shirts. The long, long queues at the venue already promised a full house, no wonder as everybody’s favourite mask-wearing troop SLIPKNOT had come to Düsseldorf.

Postbahnhof, Berlin, Germany22nd November 2008
Zeraphine
It’s a few weeks ago that we heard them life, but at the last two month of the year the guys of ZERAPHINE will bring the snow to fusion. On 21st November they played in Aschaffenburg (Germany, ColosSaal) and one day later at the Postbahnhof Berlin. The hall was well-stocked. I like the atmosphere at the Postbahnhof very much. Sound and light are nice every time I saw a concert there. As well as today!

Philipshalle, Düsseldorf, Germany21st November 2008
Bullet for my Valentine, Lacuna Coil, Bleeding Through
It could have been all so easy that day, but the weather god had other plans and sent an incredible storm that caused nothing but chaos, trains broke down, train stations had to be closed and it would have been absolutely impossible for me to attend the concert if it wasn’t for a very kind friend, especially taking a detour to pick me up at a train station, but we still were on schedule for the concert. Actually we had more time than expected as two bands were announced not to appear…

Skaters Palace, Münster, Germany20th November 2008
The Subways, Blackmarket, Trip Fontaine
Very happy-go-lucky, THE SUBWAYS present garage rock in its best. After the album ‘Young for Eternity’, the band lately released a second album ‘All or Nothing’. After I had seen the band at Area4 festival in summer and was totally impressed by the power three people brought to the big stage, one thing was sure: I would see them again in the clubs. On 20th November it was my time, when THE SUBWAYS played in my town, supported by BLACKMARKET and TRIP FONTAINE.
