Milena Velba 12 Years

Carnage Rockfabrik

Salve


What had I got myself this evening. Already on the tour in March new songs from the new Sacred Steel album could be heard and it was clear that they would feel in the camp of the band back to tradition, therefore to throw a release party and concert. However, months went by and there were only piecemeal News to hear. But a few weeks it was ready and the concert was for 22 Announced in October. But not enough of the fact that there would be another release show, so there were a few conditions that could increase the anticipation even more: The fact that the concert would be on a Thursday and therefore increase during the week was more than sufficient so balanced, that the whole was held to free admission. As surprised and delighted I was happy about the fact that in addition to the powerful Sacred Steel also Dawn Of Winter vocalist Gerrit and thus would be seen in two capacities.

At some point it finally happened and the long expected and awaited Thursday was hot. The week before the night I gave my anticipation for this evening with daily Twitter estates expression, and agree to one or the other may have gone to the sack, for which there will be a matter of course at this point no excuse.

Back to the day of decision: We started out the trip to Stuttgart, where I was allowed a few days previously one of the rare Dawn Of Winter-see gigs . Am Hauptbahnhof actually the meeting with Steffen was planned, but was due to some difficulties in communication that moved to the North Station stop. Once in Ludwigsburg, we were then taken of Diana, to make us the way to the local purchase land. Here were the purchases concerned for dinner in the form of solid and liquid food, and not least also Wargod Matze added thrust, which is specially effective for this evening the way out of Kassel - but again a big respect!

soon as we entered the Rockfabrik we have been greeted with the sounds of the new Sacred Steel album . I tried not to listen as possible because I want to do at home and at peace when I hold the CD in your hands. Unfortunately this was not possible this evening, as the limited box to Carnage Victory only a week late can be delivered. It remained on the purchase at the merchandise stand here that we are a special shirt have worried about this event - should not be neglected to note that the price of 10 € for a shirt with front and back print again over failed fanfreundlich and it is on top of every purchase of a free Dogtag was, it is also accompanied by the box. Equally commendable, I think the fact that you have shirts available in sizes S - a much too rare fact of the times, many others should take example!

Now to the musical part of the evening, which was started by Dawn Of Winter. Their set list was different, as announced, at any point of the three days earlier in Stuttgart . If this did not detract from the quality, it was the gig in Cape Tormentoso but the more convincing for me. The much smaller atmosphere there is the incredibly intense music from Dawn Of Winter just much better to face. But I never want to talk to the presence RoFa bad. There was also a terrific concert by a powerful band that could gather a surprisingly large number of bangers from the stage.

After the announcement, Watch Me Bleed short term would participate in this concert evening I have the material on the MySpace page belonging, and could tell within a very short time, where I would be the date on which the stand on the stage: outside! And it did. What had to look for this band that night on the boards have, certainly not just me wondering. Especially Sacred Steel a few years ago to get away have brought a shirt imprinted with "Metalheads against metalcore". Should anyone have such a shirt left over, he can feel free to contact me, because I have the time missed, get it to me, though I speak these three words from the soul.

at some point we had to sometimes be an end and you could venture back into the premises. I myself have to elapse for a second and took the same position on the list, which I wanted to enjoy the concert of: Front row center! Here I waited on the inferno, which was released to the public. My love for Sacred Steel is one that is hard to put into words to be and the same goes for this site: all the superlatives were not fair, what I could do. Already at the beginning of the play in the beginning of "Heavy Metal To The End" generated a sense of how it can probably never understand if you do not live for this music. It is a cliché that is overused for sure, but in moments like this that I know I can just stand 100% behind it: I LOVE HEAVY METAL! Sacred Steel and play not just heavy metal, like all the other bands: this band is the incarnation of Heavy Metal. The next time I will ask a non-metalhead, which is metal and what it means to me I will play for him in response to Wargods Of Metal - should have any questions then this person will never understand all this. But I digress

; back to the concert: The right start was then started with "Carnage Rules The Fields Of Death" - can there be anything better? I had the band at least at this point on their side and a spell over me that made me enjoy the rest of the concert in a trance. What followed was another older song, and "Charge Into Overkill" the first new piece; But that has not played for the first time live and therefore at least a small circle was known. Also new was the following "Carnage Victory", located a number more in the mid-tempo, which was carried to a considerable extent Gerrits voice. Vocally throughout other regions it was with the death metal number "Slaughter Prophecy". I'm not a big death metal fan and have placed almost all sympathy for this style in recent years, but in the form presented by Sacred Steel I let me serve you. Also new, "Broken Rites" was launched with a Wutrede to the Catholic Church and has aroused interest to read the text of the song. Unfortunately I have to admit that the song in itself is not much convinced me - of course this was only the first run, but at some point it was missing some oomph to the song - let's see if this feeling on the album then confirmed or adjusted. The lack accourded but was then "Open Wide The Gate" is subsequently confirmed in great detail to properly connect it directly to Black Church on the brake pedal. This song is a special request from me was true, for this incredibly intensive creation I wanted to experience live and the expectations for this piece were met in full measure - goose bumps with unpaired pure energy! As perhaps not everyone saw it was then with "Dark Forces" returns to a full gas number the best given what the form of "Metal Reigns Supreme" was something very old unpacked. As a contrast to this, another piece was from the new album: "Denial of Judas", which experienced a high point at the moment, suspend in which all the instruments and you get to hear only Gerrits voice, all calls from envious people in defiance of fact a damn good institution does, must have the uniqueness to be certainly not arguing. With "Sacred Bloody Steel" was allowed to go even a hymn to the mass to at last becoming the first to be played "Heavy Metal To The End" to give the best.

The encore consisted of the high-speed number "Maniacs Of Speed" the slow-heavy "Blood On My Steel" and finally of course the obligatory "Wargods Of Metal" in which it finally managed a couple of people to move to the stage, which failed at the last concert in Pforzheim yet where I am in the encore some time alone on stage and was not even found the necessary public, so I could Stagediving elegant. But in Ludwigsburg, everything was different: Here, the necessary Maniacs, which is expended. But not only have spent itself. Gerry has the last songs in the middle of the audience eingesunden and looked for the initial craze in "Wargods Of Metal" is not capable of what you shortly by Martin Warcry was employed.

So this concert was unfortunately already over. As I remember there is still one of Matzes drum sticks to it gave it to Thom still a battle to the death, in the end but I was able to gain the upper hand.

And of course, the joy remains and a new album the powerful Sacred Steel in the hope of possible timely, new concerts. And to bridge the time still a small studio report by the recording of Carnage Victory:

The rock factory was emptying, as expected much the same, right fast - many had to stand again next Friday at work on the mat.

Homemade After Shower Oil

Dawn Of Winter and Spiritus Mortis Live in Stuttgart

Salve

After the Hammer Of Doom II last Saturday went without me on the stage, I still took the time being not even last one, but still rare chance, Dawn Of Winter on stage to see. Since I have not seen in Wuerzburg, of course I can not make comparisons, but I would still be carried away to the theory that it was probably much more intense here than in a much larger hall.

I came just at the beginning of the first song in the small Cape Tormentoso , that was made for an event of this kind, it was small and quiet and had just the right size, that before the stage was not too tight, but then again, no huge gaping holes - just a very intimate venue, which I certainly do not has seen the last!
Also note the beautiful poster, with which the evening was advertised - simple, but a delight in pure nature:


Dawn Of Winter a number of songs from her last album "The Peaceful Dead" played , all of which were well received. Some even slightly pressed on the gas, but the doom reigned throughout. It took some time with me, but I guess I will also so slow to Doomkopf!

It is probable that the same setlist as the Hammer of Doom II was played down, since, according to Gerrit singer at the next concert in the absence of sufficient time to sample also the same songs will be unleashed on the crowd. Thus, my hope for The Witchfinder was an all-exploding bass live unfortunately destroyed - very bad! But even without this song was offered a feast for the ears and soul of any serious, very fitting for the season.

After a short time it was then so far that Spiritus Mortis to the small Stage occurred, at least they did so in part. The singer, many of them as far as I know primarily for his activities in the mighty Reverend Bizarre , had preferred to take his show before the stage amid the audience. What he made in such a way can be difficult to describe. He was totally in his own world and was totally into what he made there. He stretches itself towards ceiling, crawled around on the floor, writhing and rolled, prayed at the disco ball, wailed, prayed and sang just powerful. An absolutely amazing band that put an incredible intensity in every second of the day, carried the little Locaton only increased.

Overall a great night with lots of nice people who were close to only positive reactions to my KISS-cowl, which I think is a pure Doom evening like yesterday's for anything but a given.

is the end for me the question why there are not more events like this: One or two relatively small bands, which one observes that they just want to play put on a small stage, do not charge admission, and you've got a bait that works well even during the week, remember how much was on last Monday. For this reason, a big tribute to the Cape Tormentoso in the hope that this is not the last Event of its type.

few words on the death of Dickie Peterson

Salve

It's Monday evening and I really wanted a little concert review about the Iron Fist Festival Pt. III lose on Saturday, but to me it is important to current events to write down a few lines of Dickie Peterson.

Today, just before closing time I received the news that Dickie Peterson this morning has died. Not everyone is this name say something now, but when I throw the same name of his band in the room will rise to one or another is certainly a little light. It was at Dickie Peterson namely by none other than the singer of Blue Cheer, which not only significantly responsible for shaping my life were music, but this quasi even invented. Long before my time and a year before the first musical steps, Black Sabbath, they have to Vincebus Eruptum virtually invented the prototype of a musical style that is nowadays commonly known under the banner of "Heavy Metal". What was from today's perspective goes through best be described as Stoner Rock then the loudest, which was unleashed on humanity:


The impact this band had a whole scene is put to little in words and Reverend Bizarre even went so far as to miss a compilation a cover which has a tribute to the first may Heavy Metal disc pays homage to all:


I even had my first contact with the band many years ago as part of a long Beat-Club night in SWR. Until the morning at 4 or 5 clock I sat transfixed in front of the TV, armed with the remote control to ban the VCR, all interesting recordings on VHS tape. There were performances by the aforementioned Black Sabbath, Deep Purple or Jimi Hendrix . All of these names I knew and admired at that time, of course, but there was also a show that I should not go out of my head - it was Blue Cheer cover of Eddie Cochran's Summertime Blues:

This shot was with me the next few weeks up and down, without that I knew what band it was because of all: I had started the video recorder too late, because my name at the announcement simply said nothing. I realized quickly, however, that I am dealing here with something special. Only years later did I get out that this is Blue Cheer. announced

When the band then last year for a concert in Tübingen for me it was only a matter of course to visit this and I have not looked back. Dickie Peterson was full of energy and was amazed how this man had on stage many a young boy on the wall can play. As part of this tour, moreover, a concert was recorded by Rockpalast .


have I often told you of this special concert and a sad day like today I think back with joy that I had the opportunity to bring this experience.

Thanks Dickie Peterson! You have ignited a spark that lives in my heart as a sea of flames!

likelihood of confusion: AC / DC - Highway To Hell & Kiss - When Lightning Strikes

Salve

also possibly the greatest band of the planet, KISS is not afraid immune, in their vast repertoire of times to have a piece that evokes memories of a much older piece. In this case, it is so that "When Lighting Strikes" by the latest long groove some similarities to AC / DC classic "Highway To Hell" has:
