Zeche Carl, Essen, Germany2nd August 2008
The Crüxshadows, Akanoid
There wasn't much time to write a new album for the CRÜXSHADOWS. Violin player Rachel left the CRÜXSHADOWS to marry her boyfriend Harry and didn't want to go on tour again; the same with guitarist George and dancer Sarah. Rogue and Jessica made the big promise as well. After all these marriages and band separations, there had to be found new band members. So there's no new CD, but a new single called 'Immortal' which was released in July this year. How can you introduce new band members better than live on stage? The CRÜXSHADOWS started to tour again with one new song and four new members. After a few European gigs and festival performances they arrived in Essen.

Rock Harz Day 2: Neaera, Knorkator, Turisas, Haggard, Atrocity and Saltatio Mortis
Unfortunately, we couldn’t make it to the first day, so we had to start at the second day. The weather was horrible. It was raining all the time and it was cold. But we didn’t care because bands like TURISAS, HAGGARD and ATROCITY stood on the plan for today.

Osterode/Förste, Germany17th to 19th July 2008
Rock Harz Day 3: Lacrimas Profundere, Maroon, Secrets of the Moon, Amon Amarth, Eisbrecher and Within Temptation
After a cold and rainy night, we headed to the last day of this year’s Rock Harz Festival. Since the whole organization was not perfect, the buses didn’t drive all the time and so sometimes it was kind of difficult to get to the festival ground but we still made it to awesome bands like AMON AMARTH and WITHIN TEMPTATION.

Bertingen, Germany12th July 2008
Rock unter den Eichen: Löschzug 23, Tarabas, Blackest Dawn, Nachtgeschrei and Letzte Instanz
After an hour of driving, we finally arrived at Bertingen in the middle of nowhere. We went to the festival area and saw that the stage was pretty small and we were excited to see how the concerts would be. Since bands like NACHTGESCHREI and LETZTE INSTANZ were going to perform, it was promised to be a great night that day.

Freilichtbühne Killesberg, Stuttgart, Germany10th July 2008
Loreena McKennitt
This summer evening was just the perfect time for a LOREENA McKENNITT concert. The weather was nice and enjoyable, and a warm sunlight lay all over the park, in the middle of which LOREENA McKENNITT was going to appear. Quite a lot of people of all kinds and ages had made their way to the Freilichtbühne Killesberg, which is some sort of amphitheatre surrounded by the remnants of a forest. The audience seemed to be in a relaxed, though expectant mood, and if one ignored the few signs of modern civilization, one could easily feel taken back to some ancient, magical times.
