Sonic Syndicate: Good show, especially considering the age and overall experience of the band. I expect great things from these guys (and girl ) in the future!

Caliban: Not much to say .. not my style of music. But judging by the reaction from the crowd, I guess they didn’t do too badly.

Dark Tranquillity: Brilliant show, I loved every minute of it (and experienced it all from right in front of the stage too). They played five songs of the new album, they were: Terminus, The Lesser Faith, Inside the Particle Storm, Focus Shift and Misery Crown. The other five songs they played were: The New Build, The Treason Wall, The Wonders at your Feet, My Negation and Punish my Heaven.

Soilwork: Good show .. I wasn’t all that familiar with their music yet, but I definitely liked them. I will check out their stuff and I am looking forward to the new CD that’s coming out next week.

After Soilwork played, I was on my way to the exit when I saw Mikael Stanne and Martin Brandström from DT come out of the backstage area, so I took a detour to get a chance to talk to them.

I didn’t get home until 1:15 AM, or so, but overall the evening was definitely worth while, I had a great time, had a few beers, saw some good bands performing and even managed to chat with some of the people from a band I’m a big fan of
