Paard van Troje, Den Haag, The NetherlandsOctober 20th 2005
After Forever, novAct, The Legion of Hetheria
Traffic and parking problems. When I arrived my friends had already fixed the tickets and we ran into the high-tech venue in the middle of the city-centre. Het Paard, as the locals call it, has always been the main venue for rock and metal fans in this area. I myself have seen tons of memorable concerts in the old version of the Paard van Troje. But since they totally rebuild the hall nothing has been the same (they actually just left the front of the building and rebuild the rest). Nevermind. It's an evening of melodic metal that's awaiting us, so we went upstairs and walked into the main hall.

Metal Female Voices III, Oktoberhallen Wieze, BelgiumOctober 22nd 2005
Lacuna Coil, Leaves's Eyes, After Forever, Epica, Asrai, Midnattsol, Skeptical Minds, Autumn, Mercury Rain, Elis, The Legion of Hetheria, Anachronia
The long queue in front of the Oktoberhallen were a good sign for all those bands who were coming for the third time to Metal Female Voices Fest. This time in a big hall with two stages and more bands. When the doors open, more then 1,5 hours later then planned, the dust approaches you. Soon more people come in and the atmosphere is there. For many people in the audience it is a tight planned day with soon after each other the bands. When the time comes closer to the headliner the people are more and more tired. After all a very good day. With some big respect for the organiser Philty. (SD)

Patronaat, Haarlem, The NetherlandsOctober 23rd 2005
Trail of Tears
On a cold an sometimes rainy day a crowd gathered outside the new Patronaat in Haarlem to see the last concert of the mini tour of Trail of Tears. This mini tour was to let us know they are still around and they will be back again once their new album is released. Playing us a mixture of their latest album and the ‘Dimension of Might’ album they gave a strong performance through which they definitely made sure they will be more then welcome on their next tour.
