Amphi Festival Day 2: Portion Control, Saltatio Mortis, Katzenjammer Kabarett, Heimataerde, Emilie Autumn, Krypteria, Fetisch Mensch, Mesh, Down Below, Samsas Traum, Untoten, Frontline Assembly, Zeromancer, Subway to Sally, Dreadful Shadows, Apoptygma Berzerk
After we had enjoyed the after party a little on the previous day, we spent the night in Cologne, so we were pretty early at the festival site on another sunny day. Already, several Goths were walking across the area, looking at clothes and other stuff at the booths, sat down for some food or took the chance for some conversations before the musical part of the day started. We did the same and right on time at 13:00 the festival day started with old-school EBM guys PORTION CONTROL from UK.

On 21st and 22nd July the third "Amphi Festival - the Orkus Open Air" took place in Cologne again at the wonderful location "Tanzbrunnen" situated near the waterside of the river Rhine which flows through Cologne. The line-up of the festival with more than 30 bands promised a lot of pleasure with different kinds of the dark music and the weather report promised the best for the weekend – all in all perfect conditions for a successful festival-weekend. This year, about 9.000 people each day made it to Cologne what means that it was even more filled than in the previous year.

Universum, Stuttgart, Germany8th May 2007
Battlelore, Remember Twilight
Before it unfortunately closed its doors at the end of May, the club Universum in Stuttgart had yet some very nice events like concerts and farewell parties to offer to the interested visitor. This cold and rainy Tuesday evening they had invited the Finnish Metal band BATTLELORE, supported by the "chamber music core" formation REMEMBER TWILIGHT from Germany. When I arrived at the venue, which was just about in time for the admission at half past eight, hardly two dozens of people had made their way to the Universum, and the club should unfortunately remain very empty during the whole evening. There must have been 30-40 persons if at all.

Universum, Stuttgart, Germany4th May 2007
Funker Vogt, NoyceTM, Dioxide
Once again this evening, the Universum Stuttgart, which has celebrated its farewell party recently on May 19th, had invited to a special event for the friends of electronic music. FUNKER VOGT, the German Electro/EBM heroes, were to present their newest release ‘Aviator’ to their fans, and were the night's headliners. But there should be more goodies for the visitors, like the openers DIOXIDE from Germany and NOYCETM, Oliver Goetz and Florian Schäfer's electronic music project. The Universum was about half-filled, and during the first two bands' performances the audience was quite retained, which observably changed when Jens Kästel and his band mates from FUNKER VOGT entered the stage.
