And then there was music

To be fair there were a lot of good bands playing but i only saw:
Electric Eel Shock
Dimmu Borgir
Cannibal Corpse
Immortal
Die Apokalyptischen Reiter
Napalm Death
Blind Guardian
In Flames
Saxon
Vital Remains(1/2 a song)
Enslaved
None of the bands were bad but it’s hard to be blown away from the back of the venue, that said, the sound was pretty impressive throughout the festival, but it was the gigs where we were right up the front which were the best for me, so that was Cannibal Corpse and Die Apokalyptischen Reiter (even though I knew nothing about the latter). Some idiot at the front during Cannibal Corpse thought it was clever to shout out the title of each song just before the Corpse played it, we get it , you’ve seen them before, now shut the fuck up and let us enjoy the crushing metal and threats coming from the stage.
I particularly enjoyed Electric Eel Shock even though they aren’t an extreme band they are a brilliant party band and they got a serious crowd on the first night, fair play to them. So if you ever get the chance go and see them! Just Do It!
All in all, there’s just one thing to say..
Make sure to get there early next year!!
