Ringlokschuppen, Bielefeld, Germany30th November 2007
Porcupine Tree & Anathema
PORCUPINE TREE do not fit in any genre draw. Without any doubt they are one of the hardest to categorize and most innovative bands at the moment. They move somewhere between psychedelic Trip-Hop and progressive Metal as well as different other genres. Their music is simply breathtaking. For a while now, also Rock music in general seems to move away from “Radio Hit Singles” to songs with real structures and conceptual albums. Also PORCUPINE TREE follow this tradition. Support during their tour were no one else than one of the best Dark Rock / Metal formations of the last ten years, namely ANATHEMA. Those two bands together promised an extraordinary concert experience for me and some more 1,500 visitors at the Ringlokschuppen in Bielefeld. And let me just say, no one was disappointed.

Atreyu, Still Remains and Engel
Arriving there, already a lot of people were waiting to see ATREYU perform on stage. Looking into the faces, almost only hardcore-fans were there this night which was pretty funny thinking of ENGEL playing at the concert, too. All in all, we were looking forward to watch an awesome concert. Could it be any different when ATREYU are playing?

Kulturfabrik, Krefeld, Germany29th November 2007
Sono
SONO means not only sound, it is also the name of a German band, which exists for seven years now. They meanwhile can look back on a more than successful history. The first song out of the debut album ‘Solid State’ called ‘Keep Control’ became a big hit and still fills the dance floors. They were on tour with KOSHEEN, played a gig at the Loveparade and did countless remixes for artists like TIMO MAAS or RAMMSTEIN. On the 29th November 2007 they were guests at the Kulturfabrik in Krefeld to present the new album ‘Panoramic View’ but also the well-known and loved classics.

K17, Berlin, Germany11th November 2007
Out of Line Festival: Hocico, Spetsnaz, Proceed, Din[A]Tod, Ashbury Heights
The independent EBM/Industrial label Out of Line proudly presented its highlights this evening, on the 4th date of the Out of Line Festival tour. New hot acts as well as established stars were featured in the line-up, with HOCICO being the absolute top act of the evening. Musically, the line-up was very varied, from soft melodic EBM to rough industrial. Unfortunately, the quality of the shows was just as varied. The festival featured surprises as well as real disappointments, of which I can only hope or even expect to be better on CD. Too bad, for those bands could really have benefited from this festival fuelled by HOCICO. And that is no understatement; the K17 was completely full on a Sunday evening, and no other EBM / Industrial band but HOCICO can pull that off.
