Warbringer – what a nice surprise – Good old thrash metal with charm and edge. I saw battle hardned metal photographers heads going from “work-mode” to banging-mode. A half filled tent during Bruce Springsteen was bad odds, but they made … Continue reading

Devildriver gave a hell of a show and is that bass player insanely good? We had all the clichées, but it was an awesome concert. Like being steamrolled by a – you know – metal steamroller? Or something other very … Continue reading

Didn’t really know Weedeater – sounded like it should and bassplayer and lead singer was extremely outgoing and fun to watch. It felt a bit like a filler to me, but I’ll give them benefit of the doubt, because I … Continue reading

Hank William III – or Hank3 came along with his redneck crew of musicians and gave a mixed country/punk/metal concert – starting in bluegrass country and then changing into that weird metal state of music. Not exactly my greatest musical … Continue reading
