Concert Review: In This Moment and Fearless Vampire Killers in Munich, Feb. 17th. contributed by Alexandra

February 19, 2015

Contributed by Alexandra Let me tell you: It was in more than one way an outstanding experience…. The club the show went down yesterday is a very small club in the heart of Munich. It was a sold out show and people already lined up around the corner. Doors were announced for 8.30 pm to open. Show start is usually 9.30 pm. Like most nights it was about -5 Celsius (about 23 Fahrenheit) and the air was slightly wet and felt therefore colder. So everyone was hoping for doors to open soon, but…..it took them over one hour to actually open that door. It was about 9.35 pm, when they actually let people in. It took until approx. 10 until all people were inside and at about 10.15 pm Fearless Vampire Killers entered the stage and played… 3 songs. The shortest set I’ve ever seen. Actually there would’ve been a third band on the bill, Starset, but as it turned out, they didn’t play at all. Unfortunately there’s not too much I could tell you [Read More]

Concert Review: Falling In Reverse – Munich, Feb. 10th at Technikum

February 12, 2015

Contributed by Alexandra Different from all the last shows I went to, Falling in Reverse only had one opening band, called Annisokay. They are actually a German band. Their sound is post-hardcore and fans of clean vocals mixed with screams and a guitar-driven sound will surely like them. They already have one album out and release number two, titled ‘Enigmatic Smile’, on March 20, 2015. The first single ‘Carry me away’ of their upcoming record will be released Feb. 12th, 2015. They were with FIR for three dates and will be touring with Callejon from Feb. 12th until March 7th and with Emil Bulls from April 10th to April 25th through Germany. Make sure to check out their Facebook for further details about the album, their upcoming tours and facts about the band in general. Showtime for Falling in Reverse was 9pm. They started the set under loud cheers of the audience with ‘God, if you are above’ from their upcoming album ‘Just like you’, which will be released Febr. 24th. Ronnie was [Read More]

Concert Review: Devilment / Motionless In White / Lacuna Coil at Backstage in Munich, Germany

November 18, 2014

Contributed by Alexandra Arriving a bit later than usual (it was about 30 minutes before show start) most people were already inside. The crowd was pretty mixed age-wise, the average definitely older than 30 I’d say, which in my opinion resides in the main act Lacuna Coil being around for quite some time in the music business and having a fan-base that started to build a while back. 8pm was show start. There’s really not much to say about the first opener Devilment. The music itself wasn’t that bad, but you have to be into the kind of singing their vocalist Dani Filth does which is high pitched screams or low voiced growling. The crowd waited for what was about to come. Next on were Motionless In White. They already had a fan base and I’m pretty sure they gained some new ones that night. It was a very energetic set. They started out with the first single of their recent, same-titled album, ‘Reincarnate’. Their 10 song set-list consisted of songs like ‘Abigail’, ‘Break the [Read More]

KREATOR return to the home of thrash metal and tear up the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco!

November 13, 2014

We have been bringing you coverage of our coverage of Arch Enemy, Huntress and Starkill and now we present to you our coverage of …. Kreator. WOW! What a night it was to see all these great metal bands take the stage at the Regency Ballroom but especially to see the return of German thrash metal band, Kreator. It seemed everywhere I turned fans were wearing their Kreator shirts and telling stories of the times they saw them last or favorite albums, etc. The birthplace of thrash metal was the perfect setting for the return of Kreator and the crowd was fueled and ready to go. From the second Kreator hit the stage, the crowd parted and an intense mosh pit opened up and seemed to span the length of the ballroom! It was fierce and with every bad ass thrash song Kreator played, the energy increased and the mosh pit intensified to insurmountable levels. It brought me back to my vivid memories of catching local thrash bands perform at The Stone in SF long [Read More]

Pop Evil – Concert Review – Backstage Munich, Nov. 5th, 2014 and Interview with Leigh

November 8, 2014

Concert Review Contributed by Alexandra There was light rain outside and it got pretty cold in Munich that day. A few fans waited outside, when doors opened at 7pm. Show start was scheduled for 8pm. There wasn’t an opening act officially announced for the Germany tour, so it was kind of a surprise, who that would be. It was a local band called Thunder and Blitzkrieg (www.thunderandblitzkrieg.com). You can’t really define their music to a certain style. I’d say it’s hard rock with punk influences. They had a few fans there that knew the lyrics. When they started to play there weren’t really that many people there, but the ones that were seemed to like it. Check out a slide show of photos from their set: The room was more crowded, when at 9pm Pop Evil started their set. They were greeted with loud cheers and immediately started with ‚Flawed‘. Their 13 piece set-list consisted mostly of songs from their current record ‘Onyx‘, the album they tour now for almost 2 years. They played [Read More]

Concert Review:Escape The Fate w. New Years Day and Glamour Of The Kill at STROM, Munich

October 14, 2014

Concert Review Escape The Fate w. New Years Day and Glamour Of The Kill at STROM, Munich Contributed by Alexandra – Twitter; https://twitter.com/lexi22473_b Doors opened right on time at 8.30 pm, which is unusually late for a show. The start was announced for 9.30 pm, but already at 9 pm New Years Day started playing. It was their first time in Germany, as singer Ash Costella told, but they were not completely unknown to part of the audience that sang along their songs. Next up were Glamour Of The Kill from the UK. It’s been their second time in Germany. Last time they came here, they opened up for Papa Roach. Jacoby Shaddix, the singer of Papa Roach, makes an appearance on GOTK’s new single Out of Control which they also played that night, along with well known songs like Second Chance and Freak Like Me. They had to fight with some technical difficulties during their set, but they managed to keep the crowd going, asking for someone to bring 4 Tequilas to the stage, to [Read More]

Interview with Captain Capa and catch them at the Beatport stage on Warped Tour!

July 1, 2014

We had recently told you about one of our Warped Tour highlights, Captain Capa from Germany. They returned to perform all summer long on the Vans Warped Tour. Their great electronic infused music had everyone dancing and having a lot of fun. We were glad to catch them for a quick interview on our second day of Warped Tour coverage in Wheatland, CA. We are pleased to bring you that interview here: Captain Capa will be performing all summer long on the Beatport Stage at Warped Tour. Make sure to check the schedule as soon as you arrive so you don’t miss their set. These two give 110% of their energy into their dynamic EDM music that will have you dancing and moving in no time. Hannes Naumann and Maik Biermann are there to entertain and they do a stellar job at it. Their music brings in elements of rock and punk into their songs as well as pop. I will leave you Rockin Ryan’s photos from their set. ~ Marisol Information & Links: Website: http://captaincapa.de/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/captaincapa [Read More]
