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!
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 ...
