Switzerlands most succesful Goth/Wave Band did the headliner on this event.
Their typical powerful, bass heavy sound filled the area and enforced all people to dance.
I really like the newer songs from Iscariot Blues, the synths are one step in the background and do2 not sound so cheesy compared to the older material.
On track 7 Michael Sele explained they are not allowed to play "Beautiful Mind" in Swiss radio stations because they thinking the song is bad for people's psyche.
So they wrote "The Dark Revolution" about it.
The song sounds like OMD from the 80's ;) nice groove.
Kingdoms Of Cancer nice wall of bass - play it loud :)

If you like the Early Killing Joke i think you will like this band. Very good performance and sound.
The Last Days Of Jesus is a Slovak Progressive Goth Rock band.
They formed in Bratislava in May 1993 to combine the spirit of old school Batcave and Deathrock with new musical sounds and patterns.
The name originates from a headline band member MaryO read in an American newspaper.
MaryO formed the band with Vajco on drums and Sulo, an organist, then they collected Feššy and Andrea, an early bass player.
During 1994 this line-up recorded their first demotape and played several shows around Slovakia culminating in a support slot for Das Ich and Faith and the Muse.
They continued to tour throughout 1995 including Germany with Marquee Moon and Forthcoming Fire and completed another demo tape, gaining considerable interest within the European goth scene.
A few lineup changes have occurred since then and apart from bringing in a session bass player for their studio albums their current lineup continues to record and play live.
The band has made many (mainly gothic) festival appearances almost every year since their formation including Wave-Gotik-Treffen five times.
In 2003 and 2004 they did two mini-tours of the UK which included Beyond the Veil and Dead and Buried.
Also in 2004 they were featured in a Slovak music TV show which resulted in their only live album to date. On the side MaryO organises regular events under BatCave.SK

Two tragic deaths within a year, not the easiest start for a new finnish goth/post-punk band Silent Scream.
The story goes back in 1996 when Antti Lautala and Henry Waldén formed a band called Varjo (a shadow in english).
Varjo was influeced by gothic rock, post-punk and ambient but it differed from other gothic bands by the finnish lyrics.
At the beginning of the 21st century Varjo was the most successful gothic band with finnish lyrics.
After the third album there were changes in line-up but also a tragedy: ex-keyboard player disappeared and after a year and a half he was found dead.
After those difficult times Varjo made new songs, supported New Model Army and was ready to record the fifth album.
Two weeks before the studio Henry died in a fire accident and that ended the story of Varjo.
Four months after the funerals the trio recorded the last album "Viimeinen näytös" and it was released in January 2010 (Stupido Records)
After the recordings Antti, Matthew and Jukka decided to continue with a new band name and new songs. It was also natural to change the language and write lyrics in english. Silent Scream will go further to the core of post-punk with influences like Killing Joke, Amebix etc.
In the same year 2010 Silent Scream released the debute album "In the Cinema" (Stupido Records). Outside Finland Silent Scream has played in Berlin and Moscow. They have also played as a support for Brendan Perry (Dead Can Dance).
The second album "Public Execution" was released in autumn 2012 and they played as a support for UK Decay in Helsinki.

The first act was my main reason to visit this Festival, the first time i saw Soror Dolorosa live.
Intense performance, very good sound and the stage appearance of Andy Julia in the dry ice was unforgetable.
With "No More Heroes" Soror Dolorosa have created another monument to the great spirit of the 80s.
Like their highly acclaimed debut "Severance", their sophomore albums "Blind Scenes", "No More Heroes" contain nothing but excellent songs that are deeply rooted in the 80s Gothic Rock scene and hint at their main influences, cult acts like The Cure, Bauhaus or The Sisters Of Mercy.
However, Soror Dolorosa don't copy the originals. They don't need to. They keep growing to eventually become one of the cult acts themselves. The consistently high quality of all their material in the past and on the new album, as well as their flawless performance in the studio and on stage, attest to the tremendous talent of this band.
