Why do I want to write about music?
I could talk for hours about my favorite and most hated albums. And I love to write. So why not combine the two?

First concert ever:
Depeche Mode 2009 in Leipzig

3 best concert impressions:
1) Emperor live is just beyond everything else I’ve ever seen on a stage.

2) Slipknot in Berlin in 2014, that was just huge.

3) Arriving hours too late by bus at Depeche Mode in Berlin 2017 for 8 Songs … and it was still awesome

Concerts I missed (and I’m mad about it!)
Slayer at Rock am Ring, Judas Priest at Full Force and Devourment and Perturbator every goddamn time.
