Winter Madness – Here We Were!
December is Christmas time. We stumble over Christmas markets everywhere. “Jingle Bells” and “Last Christmas” lurk behind every second corner. Where is the way out of this danger zone?
On-Stage Review
Eluveitie and friends
One of the last double headliner tours 2022 leads us to the visit of Eluveitie and their friends at Wiesbaden’s Schlachthof on 14th of December
A Good Day For Metal In Berlin – Amorphis, Eluveitie at Huxeley’s Neue Welt
Amorphis were co-headlining with Eluveitie with their special guests Dark Tranquillity and Nailed To Obscurity. The package delivered an energetic and passionate show night at Huxley’s Neue Welt in Berlin lately.
The Homecoming of Lord Of The Lost
The multi-genre band is finally home again after the mindblowing tour as support of Iron Maiden and the amazing festival summer. Back to the small clubs means Homecoming for Lord Of The Lost.
Acoustic Metal Adventures: Sonata Arctica & Eleine live in Berlin
Welcome to Sonata Arctica’s Acoustic Adventures MMXXI tour and their special guests Eleine. Is it Metal at all if it comes without distorted guitars? Find out yourself!
Manntra – Kreatura live
I already had the pleasure to enjoy Manntra as support of Mono Inc. in spring this year. The ongoing tour is their first as headliner in Germany.
The New Roses – Sweet Poison
Lights go out, Timmy Rough on vocals and guitar, Dizzy Daniels on lead-guitar, Hardy Heart on badass Bass and drummer Urban Berz leave the backstage area, grab their guitars and drum sticks and The New Roses enter the stage at their "Heimspiel" at Schlachthof Wiesbaden during their Sweet Poison tour 2022.
Ad Infinitum – Butcher Babies – Amaranthe – Beyond The Black
Four metal bands of which all of the musicians are pure eye candy. Nevertheless, skills, hard work and talent over looks, all of them are first of all brilliant musicians, there is no doubt about it. I am talking about Ad Infinitum, Butcher Babies, Amaranthe and Beyond The Black. Stadthalle Offenbach seems to be the adequate size for these four metal jewels. The tour is double headlined by Amaranthe and Beyond The Black and was postponed several times due to you-know-what. Now there are no restrictions and the party can begin.
Finntroll * Skálmöld * Brymir live
With Finntroll, Skálmöld and their support band Brymir a very fitting package is touring all over Europe these days. Let’s check on their Berlin tour stop and also cast short glance on Skálmöld’s 10th “Börn Loka” anniversary shows recently in Reykjavik.
Zoom into the Ultima Ratio Fest 2022 (in Geiselwind)
The Ultima Ratio Fest caravan delivers a set of gems, no, actually of most exquisite crown jewels of harsh metal to our door-step venues in Europe these days. Finnish melancholic metal wizards, Insomnium and the Portuguese gothic metalists of Moonspell share their co-headlining tour in the finest company of Borkagar, Wolfheart and Hinanyana.
