IMPVLSE entered the stage first and convinced the crowd with progressive metal-core style. Nürnberg originated 5-piece band that has been active since 2017, knows how to put up a show. The well-filled venue was receiving the message immediately—this will be a great night. IMPVLSE didn’t give any reason for doubt – massive choruses and awesome stage performance couldn’t be a better opener.

ACCVSED followed and provided a glimpse of what can be expected when you are going to visit their headline tour in 2027. One of the probably most promising acts in Germany’s modern metal core scene is coming soon again to a stage near you. A quite long intro raised the tension to a point close to unbearable. Immediately after ACCVSED entered the stage, the pressure got released. The audience got into movement immediately, catching them in with a massive intensity and emotionality. Only the slightly overdriven bass sound volume was leaving a small scratch on an otherwise perfect performance.

Last but not least THE NARRATOR conquered the venue, audience and stage. No fancy gimmicks, no smoke or fireworks. A clear stage setup and a band that enjoyed the night. Focus clearly set to the music when the band brings their song material from their latest longplayer ‘Phosphor’ to the live stage. Lots of stage action that found its way into the crowd. Clear, straight lighting, perfect sound and a great vocal performance left no wishes open. The great variety of their songs with a lot of different nuances of punk, hardcore, metal and other styles with catchy, heavy riffs and refrains thrilled absolutely everybody. Combined with a band history reaching back to 2016 the band from Essen, Germany, was a warranty for a real highlight concert. Simply the combination of atmosphere and emotional depth, bringing this into balance with aggression is stunning.
