How often have you been to the WGT so far? (As a visitor and as an artist)
Din and I have each been to WGT three times as visitors and three times with Aeon Sable. (2014: Theaterfabrik, 2017: Felsenkeller, 2023: Täubchentahl)

What did you think before the gig and how do you look back on it today?
I was terribly excited before the gig and just wanted to get it over with. But when we stood on stage, facing a packed venue, all the tension vanished and we were suddenly the usual Goth Rock machine.

Which song did you particularly like to play?
I especially enjoyed playing Burn for Salvation and Garden of Light. The latter just fit there perfectly (space/time) and it was fabulous to see our visitors singing along to it.

Were there any personal meetings that meant a lot to you?
I have had very many personal meetings. It was a special pleasure to finally meet friends from Latin America, Portugal, Israel and the USA again.

What will you remember for a long time from this year’s WGT?
Besides the feeling of having played a really good gig, we will probably remember the new acquaintances. The WGT is and remains the place of encounter.

Setlist:
Intro 2014 – “Burn for Salvation” – “Quaalude Tango” – “Garden of Light” – “Elysion” – “Visions” – “Dancefloor Satellite” – “White Snow” – “Praying Manti”
