report 🧵

Part 1

Oh man it felt great to be back where all are dressed black 🤘

The first act of the day was an Austrian band called . Spoiler alert: they were my discovery of the evening.

We didn't know them, and were really impressed! They play some kind of psychodelic fantasy pagan themed heavy metal, you should check them out:

After we listened to some songs of Omnium Gatherum it was time for Heavy Metal from the : 🤘

What a great show! The 10 minute song Hounds Of Kuenring was epic af, my highlight of the day.

report part 3

After some Harakiri For The Sky it was time for

After a long intro came another long intro to their new song How It Ends and another intro To Hell Or The Hangman. The songs were great, but then we had enough of all the intros and went to the small stage again.

report part 4

On the small stage, a black metal band from Salzburg called kicked off their set. But then their lead singer/guitarist was gone. Then he came back and was gone again. Technical issues. I think he had to puke as well. Then the backing vocals person disappeared and only 3 of the initial 5 people were left.
They continued, then the missing persons came back.
Black metal with a violin.
We left for Dinner.

I had Bosna, the President had Käsekrainer Hotdog.

report part 5

Now it was time for a big one, a favourite:
Both my friend and I aren't really fans but we thought: maybe live.

...changing stages after 3 songs was a great decision, because holy moly, from Ravensburg, Germany were a force.
With their early 80s speed metal they partied so hard, their gig was by far the most fun all evening.
The pit was moshed 🤘

Back at the mainstage, Katatonia was still playing the same song, it seemed.

Stallion on a red light illuminated stage. That was a freakin awesome party!

report, addon to part 5
In all fairness: sounded great, they had by far the best sound and I was impressed that they're only a 3 piece with a singer. I expected 3 guitars...
But well, some things aren't meant to be.
If you are a fan, I bet you'll have a great time seeing them live.

report part 6

The headliner:

There was a goosebumps moment when everyone in the hall sang along to Black No 1 from Type O Negative shortly before PL entered the stage.

Then PL.
Simply put: they were great! It was a pitty that I don't know any lyrics because I wanted to sing along so badly.

I secretly hoped that they'll play Fader or Mouth, but I guess that era is long forgotten.

Anyhow, it was great seeing them live!

All in all a great evening🤘

The End.

Is there anyone in here going to on October 7th?

If yes, I have a question: will it be open air or indoors?

Maybe I am to stupid to read, but I cant find this info anywhere...

HailsandAles, to Metal
@HailsandAles@metalhead.club avatar

Anybody got any cool gigs coming up?

derthomas,
@derthomas@metalhead.club avatar

@vanessawynn @HailsandAles I'm going to see and others in a month in Vienna.
Given that I didn't listen to Primordial or Katatonia much, I should do my homework I guess...

...any chance that @humaldo is also going?

Should I stay or should I go?

This is quite a lineup for this nice little metal fest. Also the venue is the best in town.
