Diary of Dreams

It has now been around 500 concerts in almost 40 countries since the first note from the “Diary of Dreams” sounded, and there is no end in sight. Everyone who knows this band knows about their achievements, created by none other than Adrian Hates - founder, singer and centre of the band, calling himself a creative pessimist. We owe this epic, dark, graceful, dramatic, fragile and extremely detailed music to his dark side and his creative use of it.

Zaklete Rewiry, Wroclaw, Poland
16th October 2021
Lebanon Hanover & Twin Tribes

Cold October night and intriguing corridors and interiors of the venue - a bit industrial and art deco - indeed created an exquisite atmosphere for the concert of two outstanding artists: TWIN TRIBES and LEBANON HANOVER. I keep saying this whenever a big event happens with no pandemic restrictions being imposed - we all missed this. Great proof for that is the enormous number of people who decided to attend the event. The occasion was quite remarkable - it was the first time we could see TWIN TRIBES live in Poland, and many chose to use this chance and come to Wroclaw even from afar. I believe their expectations were met - in full.

Lacrimas Profundere & Support: Soulbound

When I arrived at Kulttempel Oberhausen, the venue was already filled with people clad in their favourite black and Goth outfits, many wearing their favourite LACRIMAS PROFUNDERE shirts. I spotted many familiar faces from the tour back in 2019, so the band can be really sure they have a dedicated audience that is willing to travel to see their favourite band live on stage.

Slimelight 34th Birthday Bash with Nachtmahr, Reaper, Black Light Ascension, My Hysteria

Slimelight, how time flies - thirty-four years? I am officially very old indeed. For me my history with this legendary club night started nearly three decades ago. Over that time, it’s been a safe haven for not only me, but every other dark alternative black clad weirdo in the UK.

Lindenpark, Potsdam, Germany
15th October 2021
Covenant, Torul & Black Nail Cabaret

The expectations were high at this cold autumn evening in Potsdam. Although the concert was not sold out (I would guess less than half of the location was full, although I do not know if would have even been allowed to fill the hall completely due to Covid-19), and masks had to be worn, people were at first in a good mood. The audience was mostly middle-aged at, at least visually, part of the dark subculture. For sure, many of them had known COVENANT since their first steps in the Gothic culture.
