Halleluja, the coffin nail is jumping out of the hole in the truest sense of the word and seems nthe Sahelzone has immirgrated from Africa to Germany, at least what's up to Mr. aspagarus tarzan, who seems like to break into two pieces straight through the middle of the waist. Poor little sod. There he sits, just before the supportact session in the hospitality room and eats happily a big plate of some kinda food. I'm talking about the rasta curled  member ofr Deathstars, who play the supportrole for our britsh Black Metal kings. But it's not only our Skinny puppy on bass,who listens to the suitable name Skinny, but also his friends of the night named Bone W.machine on drums, Nightmare Industries on keyb./git at and Wihplasher on vocals are going for the male Twiggyes of the new century, what's up to the individual shape. Like I said, If I didn't know those ghosts of the night were not freshly imported from The US, - I'd rather say, they are coming straight from the Sahelzone. 


Death Stars



They wanna be dark and mean, just right for the image with the musical sparkle of their genre. There is nothing to complain about.But whoever does a 45 minute soundcheck (as a supportact) and still shows some weakness within the engine, should think about, what might be wrong - somehow. It's definately not the sound, which takes care, that we all go home half way death. Anyway, to make it short and painless, those super skinny Dalton brothers are absolutely photogenic, no question about that. But the performance stretches too much and too long though the ghostdance of Synthetic Generation (2003) and 'Termination Bliss (2006), But we are young, strong and youthful. and experience is there to make. But first of all pleas have a  good and decent dinner and the Suda... oh sorry, the Sahelzone stays in Africea. Otherwise Mami's really gotta be worried.

The genre lives on, but compared with the performance of Cradle of Filth two years ago, here tonight are much more less black souls like last times. And I ask myself, whether, it's due to a growing lack of Filthis popularity, or just the fact, that the local soccer team FC Bayern is playing tonight in a sold out stadion and on TV. However, there are still enough nightowls here who are going for black magic or better Black Metal. We are all waiting for our small and very attractive frontman of dark mythology. Jes.. if you did know, how Danii is in real live you're not gonna believe me. The beautiul man is very attractive, handsome and sophisticated and absolutely british starting with his cleas queen's english, when he talks 'till the usual cup of tea, - of course with milk,.


So let's start with the intermezzo of Cradle of Filth, who gets accompanied by two pretty elfes on keyboard and vocals and lots of dry ice. The sophisticaded tune exchanges immidiately with a screaming vibration, which climbs up from the deepest C  coming over thw octaves into heights of a high sophran level. Yep, Caruso and Maria Callas would turn round in their graves,if they could catch this.No serciously, Dannii, or better Cradle of Filth have got something fro their own And to be honest, this new piece of music goes for a rather commercial tune. And once again the band go for a cover. Last time it was Devil Woman of  Clff Richard, and this time it's a hard version of Heavan 17s 'Temptation.Well done. 
One thiing is a bit of a shame... compared with last times's bombast and great phantasy landscape there's a lot of understatement tnis time.The producition has gonne down. N cathedral anymore no pyroshow and no demons jumping into us photographers faces anymore. It's not much left of the bombast. 


But Danii does it with all his huge stage presence, which takes almost the complete altar. The other members of the band are there, but that's it. But they do their best in musical performance. Yeah apart from maybe the femal operasinger, presenting herself in sexy lingery size 48. 
However, Cradle of Filth are truly the kings of Black Metal in parisian chic and Chanel make up. And the band pleases their fans completely, who are returning  home with a satisfied smile on their faces. And I bet, after show now, our very british englishman enjoys a good cup of Tea backstage... of course with milk.
