Gothic.pl Festival 4: Clicks, Cybercide, Agonised by Love, Angelspit, Ego Likeness, Ayria
Gothic.pl Festival is second large event oriented on promotion of gothic music that is organized in Poland. It hosted such artists as Diary of Dreams, Diorama, Covenant, Head-less, Empire in Dust, Painbastard, Agonised by Love, Deathcamp Project to name just a few. The Festival has been changing from two days to one day formula, from a big club location to cosy, small venues, from gothic to electro oriented scheme, but it has always featured a great deal of marvellous music, atmosphere and people. In 2007 the organizers chose a small club - 'No Mercy' in Warsaw - and a two day formula, but unfortunately, for various reasons I was able to attend just one day. The line-up for Saturday was: Ayria, Angelspit, Ego Likness, Agonised by Love, Cybercide, and Clicks.

Stereo, Bielefeld, Germany25th September 2007
De/Vision, Michigan, Akanoid
On Tuesday the 25th September we went to Bielefeld to enjoy one of the best known Synth-Pop bands in Germany: DE/VISION. The concert took place in the "Stereo" - a pretty little location, situated right in front of the central station of Bielefeld. It was my first time in the "Stereo" and I was positively surprised about this charming location, conveniently placed regarding transport facilities, some snack bars and restaurants in the neighbourhood and inside with several levels, a bar at the back and cinema-chairs at the sides.

Château de la Princesse d'Arenberg, Raismes, France8th-9th September 2007
Raismes Fest 10 - Day 1: Carbur, S2D2, Kill for Peace, Delain, Sheeduz, Koritni, Clampdown, Black Bomb A, Fiinky Pie, Finntroll, Cool Cavemen, Pain of Salvation, Glenn Hughes
The city of Raismes is situated in the area of Valenciennes, in the North of France, at about 30 km from Dour in Belgium and 40 km from Lille. In 1997, some fans of Metal and Progressive rock had the idea to create a new festival with the idea to attract bands with international reputation while also promoting regional bands. The Raismesfest was born and this year it was the tenth edition. Over the years, the festival has grown in reputation and content to cover very different aspects of rock and metal music, becoming one of the most eclectic festivals. The festival takes place in the park of a castel, Le Château de la Princesse d'Arenberg, which serves as lodges and catering place for the bands. The festival is organized with two stages: a main stage for the international bands and, at the opposite, on the other side of the meadow, a small stage, where regional bands have 25 minutes play time, time needed to switch bands on the main stage. This arrangement allows 13 bands to play non-stop for about ten hours each day. The audience has also been growing over the years, reaching between 1000 and 2000 visitors per day.
