It was a hot summer night yesterday, when Black Label Society invited all Berzerkers to another show in Munich. The Backstage Werk was really crowded and the heat inside the venue almost unbearable. But we made it through and the little rainshower outside at the end of the show was welcomed by everyone.

But, first things first…..

‘The New Black’, a German band from Würzburg, opened the show. They play a heavy, melodic and groovy sound and really knew how to start a show.

After their set, a big curtain was drawn up and shielded the view to the stage. A little after 9 pm an intro started, guitars began to wail, the veil dropped down and with loud cheers from the audience Black Label Society started their set.

It was a very guitar driven show, which is to be expected when one of the greatest guitarists is playing in town.  Set list included ‘In This River’, ‘My Dying Time’, ‘The Blessed Hellride’ and one of my faves ‘Angel Of Mercy’. Right in the middle of the set, Zakk played an awesome guitar solo that lasted a few minutes and convinced everyone that he’s a bad ass guitarist with incredible skills, that knows how to handle his instrument.

After about 90 minutes they closed the set with ‘Stillborn’. First time in a long time, that a headliner set lasted that long.
