Amphi Festival 2010 Day 1 Staatenhaus: Skinny Puppy, Project Pitchfork, The Crüxshadows, Funker Vogt, Nachtmahr, Solitary Experiments, Faderhead, Destroid, Miss Construction
The indoor stage was situated in the “Staatenhaus”, former “Rheinparkhalle”. This year, the ceiling stayed where it needed to and so, the whole program was taking place in the hall… not a very nice venue I must add. It was hot inside, the ceiling was pretty low and the sound very difficult and in different areas far too loud. Anyway, with SKINNY PUPPY headlining the program there, the indoor stage had my personal festival highlight in stock…

Foreigner
Already with their first album, the band FOREIGNER have created a million seller, spawning such evergreens as ‘Feels Like The First Time’ or ‘Cold as Ice’. The following albums would continue that spree of success, but with the #1 anthem ‘I Want To Know What Love Is’ taken off their most successful album ‘Agent Provocateur’, they made themselves an everlasting monument in pop music history. Following ‘Inside Information’ was the last one being that successful for quite some time, and the band had to overcome some odds.

 Interview with
Demetrio and Mike of Arcadia
ARCADIA is a unique band out of Italy that has been kicking ass and evolving ever since the early 2000. Promptly performing a special brand of Metalcore / hardcore called “Bastardcore”, the band has gained a cult following and released up to four albums. Their latest album ‘Roy Philip Nohl’ is their finest masterpiece yet and really culminates the pinnacle of what ARCADIA is all about. Guitarist Demetrio and vocalist Mike were so happy with Reflections of Darkness’s review that they wanted to do an interview to get the fans a better education on the band. Here’s what they had to say...

Amphi Festival 2010 Day 1 Main Stage: And One, Anne Clark, Blutengel, Welle:Erdball, Ashbury Heights, End of Green, Din [A] Tod, Zin
We started very early on this Saturday morning and surprisingly arrived in Cologne without any traffic jams. Also, our hotel room was already prepared and so, we arrived very early at the festival ground, enough time to check out the area, have some coffee and meet up with some friends. The main stage offered a mixed program being headlined by Synth poppers AND ONE and starting with ZIN, the winner of Friday night’s newcomer contest.

I love this festival. After my first visit last year, I was really feeling as though I was amongst old friends and it has a great family but fun atmosphere that seems to bring out the best in everyone there. Thomas, the organizer, must be on first name terms with the local weather gods, because like last year the weather was fantastic reaching nearly 40 degrees. So with a festival as hot as Africa and a killer line up, we pitched our tents and headed off to see what we could see.
