Palladium, Cologne, Germany 12th October 2007
Wir sind Helden, One-Two
Since their song ‘Denkmal’ has been released, WIR SIND HELDEN are known all over Germany and other parts of mid-Europe. Then, they started playing big shows all over the country, and now, they are back with their new tour. Judith’s vocals you notice out of a couple of hundred and so, every concert of the so-called “Helden” will be an experience on its own. Also the show in the sold-out Palladium in Cologne on 12th October was. The evening was opened by ONE TWO.

Tivoli, Utrecht, the Netherlands12th of October 2007
Faun, Sieben, In Gowan Ring
Pagan Folk Festival. Maybe a bit of an exaggerated name for 3 bands playing but still, it was bound to be a good evening. After the bands there was an elf dance night so many in the audience were dressed up and that is always fun to see. The evening was sold out!

Rockfabrik, Ludwigsburg, Germany 10th October 2007
Blutengel, Adam
BLUTENGEL disunites the German Gothic scene; there are many fans who like the band's danceable songs and catchy melodies as well as its vocalist Chris Pohl - who is also quite successful with his other electronic projects TERMINAL CHOICE and TUMOR. But there are others blaming the band of being too shallow concerning both music and lyrics, and of flirting too much with the mainstream. This autumn night BLUTENGEL were to appear in the Rockfabrik Ludwigsburg, and though they surely are not my favourite band, I had decided to give them a chance, as I had never experienced them live before.

E-Werk, Cologne, Germany 10th October 2007
Within Temptation, The 69 Eyes, Delain
Founded 1997 in Dutch Utrecht, WITHIN TEMPTATION released the debut album ‘Enter’ already one year later. With their bombastic Goth Metal, the band immediately conquered the hearts of people all over Europe. After singer Sharon became mother last year, the band kept it quiet. But in March 2007 they were back with the new album which was presented on several festivals during summer and now also in the clubs all over the continent. Besides four other German gigs, the band played the E-Werk in Cologne on 10th October, supported by Finnish THE 69 EYES and Dutch DELAIN. When I arrived just 30 minutes after opening, I still had to pass a very long queue telling me that the venue must have been at least nearly sold out.

Zeche Carl, Essen, Germany11th October 2007
Dreadful Shadows
It was a very spontaneous decision for me, but I couldn't miss the opportunity to see this band. Actually I thought I would never get the chance because the band had split up; and so I was really surprised, when I read, they would go on a tour together again. When I got to the venue, there was already a mass of people, standing in line and waiting for the doors to open.
