For the 3rd time I visited this hardrock- and metalfestival in my hometown.


ELECTRIC RELIGION:

A band with a female singer that plays very heavy and with powerful vocals that sounded too much inside the old brickbuilding at the site. The guitarrist is appearently a known musician and he looked older than the others. They had a bit of progressiveness in their music and the singer were clearly enjoying the moment. Okey but not more!


FREEDOM CALL:

Out in the warming sun, there were a bunch of happy germans playing happy happy trala-la-metal and it sounded really good! The singer has a very good voice and the audience and band were enjoying some good afternoonentertainment!


SKINDRED:

A crossoverband from Wales with a great (and big) caresmatic black singer. A mix of hiphop, reggae and metal that really got the audience waking up in the afternoon. The singer is a great bandleader and has a great conversation with the people watching and the looks of the other members of the band is worth seeing! Entertainment!


CLOSE QUARTERS:

Sleaze-hardrock band from Vadstena. Well they tried to be glammy and dirty but the songs were not very good and they seemed a bit unused to beeing on stage. They are maybe better in a few years.


NAPALM DEATH:

2:nd time I see this band of uncompromizing high speed crushing bulldozer metal that I have some hard time listening to for more than a few songs. All of the members of the band look like total idiots.


SONIC SYNDICATE:

Great to see this band on a sundrained stage; a band that gives it all and a singer that has a strong voice and is a good frontman in this band that plays heavy american-inspired "modern" heavy metal. Good!


AIRBOURNE:

GREAT to see this "new" band tearing down the stage with their wild flirt with AC/DC! This is as rock'n'roll as it gets! A band that lives and breathes hard rock-music and gives the audience a entertaining and total wild show. Great live-band!


BIGELF:

Had hardly heard this band but when I heard that it's progressive I had to go and see the show and I was NOT disappointed! Good organ-based progressive, sometimes heavy, variated rock and hard rock. Good stuff!

    Album number two from this incredible supergroup that made some unforgettable music in the 1980's! This is again melodic hardrock with a lot of keyboards and with impressing melodic, orchestral and powerful songs with fantastic vocals. A mus...

    8 years into their albumreleasingcareer J. Geils Band released another album worth of rockin' and rollin' songs but this time they took a much calmer and poppier path and not all the songs are top class anymore. It seemes like they went out ...

    This american doom-band has an interesting history. Formed as an side-project by Pentagram's Bobby Liebling and Geof O'Keefe and was completed with Randy Palmer as far back as 1973-74 when they also recorded some material which did not get r...

    Another one of my favorite bands from the 1980's and 90's. I have always loved thier simple and bluesy hardrocksongs with singer Jack Russell's clear and sensetive vocals. This, their 3rd album is one of the highlights of the band's career a...
