Messe Congresscentrum B, Stuttgart, Germany
9th November 2006
Bullet for my Valentine, As I Lay Dying, Protest the Hero
The Welsh Metal-core band BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE has become quite famous during the last few years; their videos promoting songs like "Your Tears Don't Fall" and "All These Things I Hate (Revolve Around Me)" were played time and again on music channels like MTV, their album "The Poison"(2005, re-issued in 2006) had relatively high chart positions especially in the UK and you will hardly find a teenager with darker and more alternative music taste who doesn't know them. Or, concerning the girls, at least know their good-looking singer Matt Tuck. So it was no surprise that the band's concert, which was originally planned to take place in the LKA Longhorn, was relocated to a bigger venue, the Messe Congresscentrum B in Stuttgart, due to great demand for the tickets. The Congresscentrum B is part of the local exhibition centre in Stuttgart, and about 2500 people can be gathered there. When I arrived at the location, it was filled to about two thirds, but when taking a closer look, a great part of the visitors was pushing in the area right before the stage, awaiting their heroes. I just had a little time to look around, but then the first support act – PROTEST THE HERO – already entered the stage.

Therion, Grave Digger, Sabaton
Both, GRAVE DIGGER and THERION just released their new albums a few days ago. GRAVE DIGGER are some kind of heroes in the German Metal scene and are called as co-founders of True-Metal. More than ten studio albums mark their successful way. The recent album ‘Liberty or Death’ was released on 12th January. Also THERION can look back to a long band history with numerous releases with ‘Gothic Kabbalah’ being the newest one. Third band of the evening was Swedish SABATON. As you can guess, this was an evening of powerful Metal performances.

Darkstorm Festival: Eminence of Darkness, Welle:Erdball, Tanzwut, Implant, Diary of Dreams, Agonoize, Blutengel, De/Vision, Covenant
hearing that one of my most favorite bands ever – COVENANT – will be playing at the Darkstorm Festival and knowing that I’ll spend Christmas not too far away I made the decision to attend the festival, taking place on the Christmas day, very fast. The Darkstorm Festival was celebrating its 10th anniversary with a very nice line-up. When we arrived at the Stadthalle just at the time when the doors opened, a huge mount of people was already waiting to go in. Entrance procedures went quite fast and soon we left the cold outside and entered the warm venue. Inside, there was a big hall with the main stage and a smaller one with a second stage where later on IMPLANT, AGONOIZE and DE/VISION were playing. In the foyer you could get food and beverages for very reasonable prices. The festival was perfectly organized and we had a great evening in Chemnitz. http://www.darkstorm-festival.de
