Opening the evening, LUNA KILLS wasted no time making an impact. The Finnish newcomers brought a modern blend of different metal styles and ignited the crowd from the first seconds on stage. Frontwoman Lotta delivered an outstanding vocal display, moving easily between melodic parts and aggressive outbursts. Overall, the perfect opening act and leaving a deep impact in the not fully filled venue.

AS EVERYTHING UNFOLDS, they had the difficult task of creating the musical bridge between LUNA KILLS and the main act, FUTURE PALACE. This task was mastered easily by Charlie Rolfe and her bandmates. The British outfit was convincing in their active stage presence. Musically, the influence of alternative metal and rock influenced post-hardcore was helping in winning the audience.

Completing the fully female-fronted evening was FUTURE PALACE from Berlin, Germany. The stakes had been set high by the two great support acts, but Maria Lessing, Manuel Kohlert, and Johannes Fürchtenicht had no troubles rising the level even higher. Proving clearly their role and position as one of Europe’s most promising modern metal acts. Intensity, ferocity and musical capabilities paired with stage experience and a well-designed stage setting, lights and sounds simply are a winner. A special moment of the night was the duet of Charlie Rolfe and Maria Lessing performing ‘Echoes of Disparity’.

The combination of these three fantastic bands was a cross-action of the modern metal world and will have satisfied everybody in the approx. 800-visitor-strong audience.
