The Nordic weeks in Rock over Germany have been going on. Just a week after a fabulous BEAST IN BLACK tour stop in Stuttgart, another headliner from Finland’s power-metal top-notch acts conquered another concert venue in town with a show deluxe: BATTLE BEAST on their ‘Circus Of Doom Over Europe Tour 2024’. Support was given by INDUCTION and SAINT DEAMON.
Abbath and company came to Munich to show how black metal is done at the highest level. In their luggage came the American Toxic Holocaust and the Scottish Hellripper, who opened the night like two big explosions.
Whenever Finnish bands travel around in other parts of the world, we tend to try catch them live at least once. The “Glory and the Beast” tour brought together three of the most exciting bands in the European power metal scene: Brothers Of Metal, Gloryhammer and our Finnish friends of Beast in Black. The tour enthralled fans throughout Germany with a spectacular blend of epic melodies and high-energy performances. See and feel the power of this night of their stop-over in Stuttgart, Germany!
Once again the Backstage München received an explosive night with Tenside dropping by for a hometown show showcasing their brand-new album ‘Come Alive Dying’, and very special guests For I Am King and The Oklahoma Kid!
It has become a true tradition that DIE HAPPY plays some warm-up gigs at the end of December for the shows or tours of the following years. In this round, it’s the ‘Pre-Anniversary Shows 2023’, preparing for the upcoming anniversary tour in 2024, celebrating their 30th anniversary as a band. Support came from Templemind at their stop in Stuttgart’s Im Wizemann in Germany!
After a long break, Gluecifer, who are one of Norway’s finest rock exports, played 3 gigs on their ‘Kings of Rock Tour 2023’ in Germany. We were lucky enough to be able to catch one of these shows for you at LKA Longhorn in Stuttgart! Power-rock trio The Demtones gave a solid support as opening act.
The cold came to Munich in the form of a package of Scandinavian bands, but Liv Sin, Priest and Deathstars managed to warm the souls of those present in the small Strom quickly after waiting in the cold and snow.
We caught the renown German metalcore outfit Annisokay killing it at the Backstage venue in Munich, with the support of 2 promising bands with Fixation and To Kill Achilles!
People at the Backstage venue in Munich were eager to see The Baboon Show play the songs of their new album ‘God Bless You All’ live, and we were not disappointed! What an energetic punk and rock ‘n’ roll show was that! Support came from the equally killer Spiders, both bands you need to go see live whenever you can!
Wind Rose is taking over Europe with their very first headlining tour “European Warfront 2023”, with support from the German heavy metallers of All For Metal and US metal outfit Seven Kingdoms, a recipe for a proper celebration of all that is classic heavy/power metal! We caught up with them at the Backstage venue in Munich and saw it was good!
