This was the last day of the tour, actually Therion would play a few more shows in Sweden, but it was the last day for this package. Opener on this tour were the German gothic metallers My Insanity. This was the first time I saw the band and so I can't tell much about them.... They did a decent job, but the audience wasn't very interested... But I think that they made a few fans during this tour and even today, coz some fans asked at the merchandise booth for their CD. Anyway, a good chance for the young band to play live and get more experienced as well as making some fans.
After a break it was time for the Swedish Evergrey. With Solitude * Dominance * Tragedy the band caught the interest of fans first and then the tour with Kamelot & Crimson Glory helped Tom Englund & his mates to get known, now after some line-up changes and with a new album they are back. The conceptual album In Search Of The Truth showed the band stronger and more powerful and so they are live! Songs like The Masterplan, Rulers Of The Mind and Mark Of The Triangle show the new strength of Evergrey. They are still progressive, but always with a certain power. Because of the limited time, just 35 min. they could play, the band concentrates on the new material and the fans loved it! At the end of the set some of the Therion choir and crew came on stage to make jokes with Evergrey. Therion mastermind Christofer Johnsson watched it and it was a lot of fun for the bands, crew and the fans, unfortunately they had to no more time to play Nosferatu then....
Now everyone was waiting for Therion! After the intro the band started with a track from their latest output Secret Of The Runs which is called Ginnungagap. The newest album wasn't as successful in Germany as Deggial and so Therion played a mixture of songs from last albums, but also older tunes... Obviously the band enjoyed playing live and the chemistry between Christofer Johnsson and his mates was right. The choir was splitted, on one side of the drums Sarah Jezebel Deva with 2 other girls and on the other side former Lions Share fronter Andy Engberg and two other singers made the choir alive. This time mastermind Johnsson just sang a few songs, but gave Andy Engberg the chance to sing some leads. Songs like Riders Of Theli, Enter Vril-Ya, Schwarzalbenheim and Secret Of The Runes made time fly. Fans shouted for Summer Night City which is originally done by the Swedish pop band ABBA sound really heavy in the Therion version and was a kind of counterpart to the orchestral parts. This time not as much fans showed up at the German shows, but the ones who were there liked it and left satisfied, but before it was time to go Therion came back for an encore including To Mega Therion. Another Therion concert were Christofer Johnsson shows what Therion stands for these days and that this is a band and not a solo project. I guess that in 2002 we will hear and see more of the Swedish....
When the German youngsters 
For some this was too trashy and they stand in the foyer and to have a drink.
The six-piece started with Godless a track of their new album Jade. Songs like Sistersun, Swallow and Radio Heroine followed. The guitarists Benjamin and Manfred as well as bassist Fredric always been in motion. It seems that the sextet from Saarbrücken enjoyed the show and felt comfortable on stage. The guys build the perfect playground for singer Stefanie Duchêne. Stefanie looked totally different! When I saw them with
