Dark stage. Above the cheering crowd sounds an orchestral intro. The crowd roars with excitement for this sound is never heard before. As drummer Anders and keyboardist Alfredo enter the stage the crowd goes wild. TP's first live performance since last year (yes, pun intended) is a fact. Anders counts down on his hi-hats, Alfredo takes over the tape with his battery of keyboards and from nowhere a roaring chord rises above everything. A roar, an explosion, and the rest of the band runs onstage. Pauli's bass is buzzing, and the tandem of Freddy and Daniel is at their top. The crowd is mad, they didn't know the band planned on playing new songs. Giorgio spits out his venom in the form of words:
I come and bind you to my chains of the darkness
The pain will corrupt your soul
Destroyed by the silence in your twisted mind
At the gates of despair no-one is safe
Anders
The lightning-fast song stimulates the crowd to form immense moshpits, a trademark of Transferium Project. The heat from the flames bursting out of the stage is affecting no-one. At the end of the song, it becomes clear that TP didn't just chose for flames at the frontstage. Flames are bursting out off ALL sides of the stage, bottom, top and sides.
Giorgio: Thank you! First of all, we want to wish you all a happy new year. Good luck to you all and stay metal. How did you like the song? *crowd cheers* That one was called At The Gates Of Despair and it will open our new album Out Of Nothing. This one is a bit older. Quite a bit actually. It's from Reincarnation and it's called The Bastard Christ!!

Alfredo
From there on the performance only gets better. From the thrashing The Bastard Christ (
I won't believe those godforsaken lies anymore) to the scorching By Sins Be Driven (
You are the infamous and the breed!!). The band plays two other new songs, the symphonic No Prayers Left-esque Dream Oblivion and the progressive sympho-trasher Equation Of Damnation. A lot of attention is given to The Necro Codex trilogy, the most symphonic albums TP have made.

Daniel
The stage show is elaborate as never before. Firecrackers soaring above the crowd, exploding amps and various other effects.
After an hour and a half the show and festival are over. The fans are satisfied and are left hungry for more.
