| To take it
ahead, please don't be surprised because of the rather weak visual
aspects of these pictures here. And don't worry, I can still photograph,
and my camera ain't broken. But for what we got here tonight you almost need one of these infrarot cameras. You know, those one's the police uses for crimal hunt in the dark. No clue, what the light technician thought about that, or has it even been the band themselves. I mean, it is still understandable when someone doesn't want to be drowned in too light spotlights. But at these visuall conditions here, I truly ask myself, why there is actually a guy behind the light board in the back. Normally you would say now - okay use a flashlight by taking pictures in such a darkness. But - no flash please is the order by Munich's biggest promoter and Germany's biggest tourpromoter. Therefore we even got a photopit within this small venue (usually there is never a pit in this livingroom. And that one doesn't make any sense, when you get only dark shades, with maybe only the drummer can be spotted from time to time. But not only that, it's also the same order like at many shows: pictures must be taken during the first 3 songs only, and then off we go out of the building. In this case, I'm not even sorry about leaving, because beyound the photopit 'till in the back to the main entrance is it crowded like hell. It is actually so overloaded, that fans start bubbling out the main entrance again, because there ain't no single inch of space left. The result is discribed as hot like in the Amazonas jungle. And nobody is even able to move his/her big toe anymore. And... what is free sight? And if you're lucky and do get one, then you look straight into the blue... eh sorry, I mean into the blackness. With a little luck you can spot one or the other silhouette up there on stage peeling out the shades. To be honest, I finish my photographing at the supportband Naera, after only about 2 minutes. Because it's only a waste of energy and camera and of course Battery. At the headliner's set it's not much better. Neaera are supporting Fear Factory on this tour and start their set in the dark.
this german fivesome is
from the city of Münster and can look back on 4 albums so far.
Stylistically they describe themselves as Metalcore. Now these guys have
got the chance to promote their latest release 'Omnicide' – Creation Unleashed’
which is out now for almost one year.

Still no flash allowed
while taking pics in the pit. But at least a dozens of fans are flashing
with their pocket cams towards the stage. I don't mind them don't worry.
But it is indeed a little difference, whether to take pictures hobby
wise or professionally for a magazine.
Fear Factory are very loud indeed. Some people later say, that the vocals don't provide live the quality as it does on record. Well techniq can do a lot, doesn't it?! Also the physical exhaustion ain't that big, which is no surprise because of all these not too slim silhouttes, apart from the frontman.

| And there I
stop with my live report, as the first 3 songs are over and this I get
out of this Backstage Amazonas jungle. No, don't worry, this time I would have been even allowed to see the rest of the concert after putting my photo equipment away. But even I didn't want to, it would be impossible to get in again. And if so, it would be only for starring into the dark and onto the backhead of the person in front of you. And no, not at my best will, this is just too much for me. And in this sense I wish you all in there a (un)comfortable rest evening. And I bet, all these bad circumstances are not the fault of the band.
