FleshGod Apocalypse, Krisiun, Kataklysm Concert Review - 15.02.2014

Servus Metalheads!

We are half through the Metal Concerts Marathon of February, and Saturday was one of my most waited Gig: Kataklysm! \m/ I don't really know why, but when you live abroad, seeing a band from your Hometown has a comforting side, even if you don't know the guys personally. It's sound silly, but it is how it is. Plus they are awesome.

Servus Metalheads!

Welcome back for this second part on The Dark Side of Munich gig! Here is the first part if you haven't read it yet (you should!).

The last post ended with Skrotum (\m/). They were followed by Rapture. They gave an awesome show! I find their sound original. From what I've heard from them (only 45 minutes, I'm gonna dig more into their music, count on me), they have this heavy sound and low frequencies that we usually find in Death Metal, but at some point, their rhythm was almost...happy, or enthusiastic? Do you know what I mean? I liked it, it was different, but still very Metal. Nevertheless, I must say they've won my heart with their attitude: they don't take themselves seriously. They just have fun on the stage, and they want you to have fun as well, which was the case, obviously.

The Dark Side of Munich III, Part I - 08.02.2014

Hi Metalheads!

One of my New Year Resolution was to support my Locals, especially when we talk about music. I want to discover the local metal scene of Munich, and to support these bands that work so hard to make good music. And yesterday was an amazing occasion to emerge myself in the Death/Black Metal scene of my adopted town. I was pleasantly surprised by the awesomeness I've seen and heard, because the 8 bands were good. According to my personal taste, some were more outstanding than others, but still, all bands gave a good show. 8 bands, one crazy night.

Thunder and Lightning - Heavy Metal

Servus!

I have a discovery for you today! This band from Berlin is called Thunder and Lightning.

They have an interesting sound, and depending of the song you're listening, the way you describe them would change, I think. Well, I listened to many of their songs repeatedly to try to describe what they do. And I like it. I like the fact you can't put a simple label on them. You should not stay in a box, and these guys got this.

At first sight, when I listen to Shadowlight, they sound more Heavy Metal. But then, you watch the video of Torn in two, and I doubted. This song sounds way more Power Metal, lighter and more harmonic. But with a heavier guitar at some points.  But even if they kind of mix metal sub-genres, they still stay pretty old-school. I don't feel any other influences than Metal in their music. They really don't fall in the "New Metal" category. A modern old-school band? Can I say it?

I like them, and I hope they'll come in Munich at some point, I'd love to see them live!

Here is the Teaser of their Album "In Charge of the Scythe". It gives you a good overview of their style what they do. Let me know what you think about them!

Stay Heavy MetalHeads! 

Cheers! \m/

Upcoming Events in Munich - 03.02 - 16.02

Hey Guys!!!

What's up?

I'm so glad to write on my blog again! I've been gone for a while, I wasn't able to type or to write, because I broke my right wrist last month. I got a surgery, it was that bad. But now, I have 3 Titanium nails in my bones. That's Metal as F*ck! \m/!!
