11am: Valkyre
Valkyre was the first band to play this afternoon, and they opened the second day of this festival very well. Unfortunately, we missed the first couple of songs, but the performance got to us anyway. The audience seemed to appreciate, especially their last song A Good Day To Die, which concluded the setlist perfectly!

12am: Interria
The performance of this french band was really enjoyable. The singer was extremely dynamic, and it conveyed a lot of power to the show. The musical style of the band was very different from the one of almost all the bands present this afternoon, and it was kind of refreshing. Definitely a band to look into.

13pm: Draconian
Draconian came all the way from Sweden, and they were the only doom band of the day. They delivered a very good performance, and the audience seemed to appreciate it a lot since the only feedbacks that we got were very positive.

14pm: Battlelore
The concert of Battlelore was a little bit disappointing because we were expecting a much more dynamic performance. The sword of the singer brought a lot, but not enough! But since their last cd Evernight is very enjoyable, let’s just wait for another occasion to see them.

15pm: Seraphim
This time, the sound was very good, but unfortunately it wasn’t enough. I’m wondering if the singer of the band applied to Tuomas Holopainen during his casting phase, because her way of moving on stage makes of her an amazing clone of Tarja Turunen, but sadly not on a vocal level. Besides, the use of samples for the male grunts was a big mistake.

16pm: Delain
his concert was certainly a good one, but compared to the one in Paris, it was clearly less powerful. The band members were motivated, but the crowd was not reactive enough. Anyway, it was our best Delain concert in Holland.

18pm: Flowing Tears
The band members of this German band were very dynamic on stage, and it resulted in a great performance. The crowd welcomed them extremely well, and the band appreciated it a lot since this concert was their first in a long time. It was definitely a pleasant moment!

19pm: Epica
Epica delivered a very very good performance! Even if they weren’t the headliners that night, a huge part of the audience was there for them, and they made sure to make it clear! It was amazing to see the crowd so into the show. The fire effects added another dimension to the concert, and it’s really something which suits Epica well.

22pm: Leaves'Eyes
This concert was very special for Leaves’ Eyes because they were recording their new DVD. The set, a huge viking boat, was beautiful. The lights also looked extremely nice. The band members seemed very pleased to be there, and they enjoyed the event a lot. The crowd was completely into the show. Let’s now wait for the DVD release in 2008.

Just before a big signing session, Mark Jansen, answered extremely nicely our questions regarding Epica. We talked about their first US tour as headliners, their last album The Divine Conspiracy, an eventual second single, their experience with Nuclear Blast, and their CD presentation.
We met with Kris Scheerlinck, ex member of the Belgian band Sengir, guitarist and founder member of Valkyre, and also Gaelle Pruvost (keyboards & additional vocals). We talked about the evolution of the band from its creation in 2004 to the extremely recent release of their new 4-track cd called Consolamentum. The interview is in french (for now).
