Besides that Jason Newsted&#8217;s self-named band and the local heroes Elsterglanz opened this special day.<br \/>\nBesides this the WFF-team confirmed a very attractive billing satisfying all the fans from the mentioned subgenres for the three regular days. Korn, In Flames, Parkway Drive, Down, Sick Of It All as Caliban are just the big names of a program which enthused from the noon till the the theme nights on the Tent Stage. And so the cancelation of Mot\u00f6rhead according to Lemmy Kilmister&#8217;s health problems which wasn&#8217;t the only one this summer didn&#8217;t bother anyone too much.<br \/>\nAfter last years&#8217; thunderstorm the typical WFF-weather returned to Roitzschjora. But an environmental extreme isn&#8217;t necessary to notice the top-organization of the With Full Force. The audience was well-informed about line-up-changes, the sound was good and the security relaxed. Besides the festival jubileum we ourselves celebrated our mag-festival-anniversary by 10 years of WFF-participation. And it was an amazing as worthy celebration!<br \/>\nOn the airfield of Roitzschjora appeared 66 bands on two stages in four days for about 30.000 visitors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thursday<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Main Stage<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Elsterglanz <\/strong>The honor to open this memorable day went to the local heroes and longlife WFF-fans Elsterglanz. This East German answer to Die Kassierer attracted lots of supporters filling up the festival ground despite the rain. The Fun-Punk-weirdoes took care of a good mood on the festivalsite by the anarchy hymn \u201cKaputtschlaahn\u201d as by several show effects.<br \/>\n<strong>Newsted <\/strong>A good mood got also spread by Jason Newsted and his new formation. The set of course was dominated by their forthcoming debut album. And although this was mainly unknown one month before its release the audience celebrated the Thrash Metal set of the self-named \u201cking of the underdogs\u201d who finished the show by the Metallica classic \u201cWhiplash\u201d which of course caused the most jubilation.<br \/>\n<strong>Agnostic Front<\/strong> The NYC Hardcore legend are one of the regular WFF-guests which couldn&#8217;t be missed on this evening. Starting with \u201cAddiction\u201d, \u201cDead To Me\u201d and \u201cMy Life My Way\u201d the fivepiece kept the crowd moving to hymns like \u201cFor My Family\u201d and the undestructable \u201cGotta Go\u201d while it seemed like those were sung by the whole festivalsite. By the Ramones cover \u201cBlitzkrieg Bop\u201d Roger Miret, Vinnie Stigma &#038; Co finnished an enormous Hardcore party.<br \/>\n<strong>Hatebreed <\/strong>From the Punk-inspired classic institution to the nowadays more Metal-orientated leading Hardcore band: Hatebreed entered the stage and set from the opener \u201cTear It Down\u201d on a new degree in today&#8217;s brutality scale. The great sound took care of enough pressure, shouter Jamey Jasta ran the stage up and down and the crowd reacted by several circlepits. But the new \u201cThe Divinity Of Purpose\u201d-tracks \u201cHonor Never Dies\u201d and \u201cPut It To The Torch\u201d were supported as well. A huge moshpit was reached by the hits \u201cThis Is Now\u201d, \u201cI Will Be Heard\u201d as \u201cDestroy Everything\u201d before the new \u201cIndivisible\u201d marked the end of a very active show, on as in front of the stage.<br \/>\n<strong>Slayer <\/strong>After the tragic death of guitarist as main songwriter Jeff Hanneman and his replacement of Exodus&#8217; Gary Holt everyone was curious about what to happen with WFF-visitor-favourite number one. Besides that drummer Dave Lombardo got replaced by Forbidden&#8217;s Paul Bostaph for another time. Beginning by the title track of the latest and hopefully not last output \u201cWorld Painted Blood\u201d it became pretty much clear technically there was nothing to worry about. But between the songs fronter Tom Arraya conveyed not to be really fealing comfortable, an impression the only other left original member, Kerry King, wasn&#8217;t able to destroy. The Thrash Metal icon gave their thousands of fans a strong final consisting of \u201cSeasons In The Abyss\u201d, \u201cDead Skin Mask\u201d and \u201cRaining Blood as the encores \u201cSouth Of Heaven\u201d and \u201cAngel Of Death\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Friday<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Main Stage<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Hacktivist <\/strong>The new star on Djent heaven from United Kingdom opened the regular WFF 2013 program and surprised by a stirring show. The alternating voices between clean singing, shouts and raps as a tight band resulted in a massive sound. The announcements emphasized the political approach of the artists. Songs as \u201cUnlike Us\u201d or the final \u201cElevate\u201d from the debut album as the Kanye-West-\/Jay-Z \u2013 cover \u201cNiggas In Paris\u201d earned a lot of applause from the audience. First highlight!<br \/>\n<strong>Red Fang<\/strong> Pretty much as passionate the program continued by the Sluge\/Stoner Rock fourpiece from Portland. They mainly concentrated on their latest output \u201cMurder The Mountains\u201d by \u201cHank Is Dead\u201d, \u201cInto The Eye\u201d and \u201cMalverde\u201d. But over 45 minutes their sound became too montonous.<br \/>\n<strong>Kali Yuga<\/strong> Not much more interesting felt the following German act. Melodic Death Metal can be such an entertaining style, but this formation didn&#8217;t really catch much attention. Maybe next time in a club.<br \/>\n<strong>The Devil Wears Prada<\/strong> Entertainment seemed to be an issue for the young quartet from Ohio. Their Metalcore inspired the first respectable circle-pits in front of the Main Stage on friday. Hits like \u201cDanger: Wildman\u201d, \u201cVengeance\u201d as \u201cBorn To Lose\u201d rocked enormously between breakdown and melodic parts. By \u201cGloom\u201d and \u201cMartyrs\u201d even songs from the forthcoming album got presented.<br \/>\n<strong>Terror <\/strong>The LA Hardcore fivepiece had played several times before in Roitzschjora, always successful, and so they did this time. In my opinion in this genre they have much more songwriting talent as brutality as their big brothers from the other coast, Hatebreed. Anyway, the opener \u201cOne With The Underdogs\u201d, \u201cAlways The Hard Way\u201d and \u201cLive By The Code\u201d convinced their fans raging in front of the stage as the neutral spectators by their sympathic as energetic performance.<br \/>\n<strong>Pain <\/strong>Wrong place, wrong time? The Industrial Metal band around Hypocrisy-mastermind Peter T\u00e4gtgren didn&#8217;t attract too much fans on the festival ground. But the number of raised by the time. Although the shining sun usually is not an argument for that sound \u201cDirty Woman\u201d, \u201cEnd Of The Line\u201d, \u201cIt&#8217;s Only Them\u201d and \u201cSame Old Song\u201d allured more and more rubbernecks to the stage. So the final hit \u201cShut Your Mouth\u201d could be sang by a respectable crowd.<br \/>\n<strong>Down <\/strong>The following break lasted 20 minutes longer because of the mentioned cancelation of Mot\u00f6rhead. Instead of an intro the all-star-band entered the stage and started with a cool jam into their set. The live presentation of \u201cLifer\u201d, \u201cGhosts Along The Mississippi\u201d, \u201cNew Orleans Is  A Dying Whore\u201d or \u201cTemptation&#8217;s Wings\u201d had an unbeatable intensity resulting much support over the festivalsite. Phil Anselmos showed a sense for the tragic moments when he dedicated \u201cLysergik Funeral Procession\u201d to the departed Slayer guitarist Jeff Hanneman as for slapstick when he caught by reflex something thrown which should be a dildo which turned out to much laughter. \u201cWe play slow, heavy and dirty\u201d, was Anselmo&#8217;s promise in the beginning of the set which was held by the fantastic quintet seeming to enjoy every single second on stage. After \u201cHail The Leaf\u201d and \u201cStone The Crow\u201d they left with the maximum size version of \u201cBury Me In Smoke\u201d. The short-term-co-headliner-position was fulfilled with a performance definitely having headliner character.<br \/>\n<strong>Parkway Drive<\/strong> Metalcore of five surfers from Australia instead of Lemmy Kilmister&#8217;s Rock &#8216;n&#8217; Roll institution, could this work? The answer can definitely be answered with \u201cyes\u201d. The festival ground was filled, the band got support by a bombastic clean sound as by a mainly blue-orientated light several effects like confetti rain or pyros and the band showed an agile performance. So \u201cSleepwalker\u201d, \u201cKarma\u201d, \u201cIdols And Anchors\u201d, \u201cHome Is For The Heartless\u201d and \u201cRomance Is Dead\u201d were celebrated on as before the stage with all power and passion. The thousands of voices building a choir to lead into the pretty new \u201cWild Eyes\u201d from the recent \u201cAtlas\u201d album showed how popular the quintet from down under is. With \u201cCarrion\u201d an appearance ended which achieved all aspects of a great headliner show.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tent Stage: Hardbowl<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>After The Burial <\/strong>The Deathcore\/Djent \u2013 genuises from Minnesota enthused as they had done at last year&#8217;s Euroblast-headliner-slot. Classics like \u201cAspiration\u201d, \u201cMy Frailty\u201d or \u201cBerserker\u201d as the new \u201cWolf Amongst Ravens\u201d from the forthcoming album impressed by their complexity and convinced the Core-kids organising pit-action.<br \/>\n<strong>Every Time I Die<\/strong>  After I had seen them at Summer Breeze before I was curious about the noisy Hardcore Punk of the fivepiece from Buffalo. But somehow the band seemed to be stuck in its montonous schema. And this wasn&#8217;t just my impression as the reactions in front of the stage showed although the band gave all on stage.<br \/>\n<strong>Chelsea Grin <\/strong>Much more diversified was the sound the sixpiece from Salt Lake City presented. The three guitars meant more power, but on the other hand the band inspired by its more silent melodic moments of their newer songs before the next breakdown wave initialized a further circle-pit. \u201cCrewcabanger\u201d, \u201cMy Damnation\u201d, \u201cLilith\u201d and \u201cDon&#8217;t Ask Don&#8217;t Tell\u201d found its support.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tent Stage: Kn\u00fcppelnacht<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Napalm Death<\/strong> The Grindcore icon from Birmingham had the honor to set the brutality level higher for the following Death \/ Black Metal night. Barney Greenway, Shane Embury &#038; Co performed a best of set which enthused fans as Down&#8217;s Phil Anselmo who stood on the edge of the stage seemingly having much fun with this appearance.<br \/>\n<strong>God Seed<\/strong> The filled up tent watched the Norwegian continuation of Gaahl and King after losing the name rights of Gorgoroth. Gaahl was the only member wearing corpse paint and screamed out his nihilistic messages. I decided to prefer getting a few beers meanwhile.<br \/>\n<strong>Hail Of Bullets<\/strong> The war ensemble from the Netherlands always offer strong live shows. So they did in Roitzschjora. Their Death Metal caused massive headbanging action in front of the first rows. The unique voice of Martin van Drunen and older (\u201cNachthexen\u201d) as newer \u201cTokyo Napalm Holocaust\u201d) tracks got celebrated.<br \/>\n<strong>Naglfar <\/strong>The probably best as most underrated Black Metal formation of this night caught the attention of the fans by \u201cBring Out Your Dead\u201d, \u201cThe Perpetual Horrors\u201d and \u201cI Am Vengeance\u201d as by their motivated live performance fighting any tiredness successfully.<br \/>\n<strong>Krisiun <\/strong>The trio from Porto Allegre smashed down every present left Kn\u00fcppelnacht spectator who hadn&#8217;t gone sleep. The tightness producing those blastbeats impressed pretty much, and \u201cSentenced Morning\u201d as \u201cThe Will To Protency\u201d might have caused neck pain of several headbangers on the following morning.<br \/>\n<strong>Marduk <\/strong>The Swedish Black Metal institution began by the opener of the current output \u201cSerpent Sermon\u201d before playing a best-of-set containing the epic \u201cImago Mortis\u201d as the classics \u201cSlay The Nazarene\u201d and \u201cChristraping Black Metal\u201d. Those ones who were still left participated as much as they could, but there were just a few.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Main Stage<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>A.O.K.<\/strong> The anarcho punks appeared for the fifth time at With Full Force. The reason for letting them open the Main Stage program was an obvious one: The festival area was pretty filled with supporters having the necessary sense of humor for experiencing \u201cBaguette Attack\u201d, \u201cButzemannslayer\u201d, \u201cWishmop\u201d and \u201cPeter Pan, Du Arschloch\u201d. Fronter Jochen Graf initialized interaction with the crowd by the wall of Brombeerhagel when the crowd took one person in the middle to run to him and grab his testicle with the next played tone. The self-named Nothing Core worked well for those who shared this black weirdo humor.<br \/>\n<strong>H\u00e4matom <\/strong>The following act wasn&#8217;t quite as entertaining, even if their kind of corpsepaint let me suppose it. Their Industrial Metal in German language like \u201cLeck Mich\u201d or \u201cTotgesagt Doch Neugeboren\u201d didn&#8217;t really motivate to pay too much attention.<br \/>\n<strong>Adept <\/strong>The first serious band on the Main Stage today was the fivepiece from Sweden. Their Metalcore had the vibe most spectators needed. So \u201cForever And A Day\u201d, \u201cSecrets\u201d and \u201cDead Planet\u201d from the new \u201cSilence The World\u201d worked as well as songs from both older albums like \u201cAn Era Of Treachery\u201d and \u201cThe Lost Boys\u201d did. Breakdowns and circle-pits collided to a cool live happening.<br \/>\n<strong>Hellyeah <\/strong>The band around ex-Pantera\/Damageplan-drummer Vinnie Paul \u2013 as known as brother of Dimebag Darrell \u2013 and ex-Mudvayne-fronter Chad Gray played their Party-compatible supported by strong sound. Tracks like \u201cDrink Drank Drunk\u201d and the motivated stage-action found their support.<br \/>\n<strong>Coal Chamber<\/strong> The idea to reunite the Nu-Metal-act was a pretty surprising one because fronter Dez Farfara&#8217;s nowadays band DevilDriver works pretty well and Nu Metal isn&#8217;t anything the fans ask for. Anyway, the combo started very motivated in its set, but the weather didn&#8217;t like Nu Metal and let it rain. So just the Die-Hard-Fans took part in \u201cClock\u201d, \u201cSway\u201d, \u201cDrove\u201d and of course their former hit \u201cLoco\u201d.<br \/>\n<strong>Deez Nuts<\/strong> What is hip nowadays could be seen during the following formation. The Australian Rapcore attracted lots of fans celebrating the opener \u201cStreets Are Watching\u201d and \u201cShot After Shot\u201d from their new record \u201cBout It\u201d as the classics \u201cI Hustle Everyday\u201d, \u201cGo Veg\u201d, \u201cLike There&#8217;s No Tomorrow\u201d and \u201cBand Of Brothers\u201d. Accompanied with cool gestures the four guys seemed to create the new style of Gangsta Hardcore.<br \/>\n<strong>Sodom <\/strong>The Thrash Metal icon can be called as a regular guest at With Full Force. So the comparatively traditional sound was able to count on a respectable audience. Ten years ago I watched them on the 10 years anniversary of WFF, so this year they couldn&#8217;t miss. Just sad they arrived 20 minutes too late on stage because of a traffic jam after an accident, so the trio around mainman Tom Angelripper had just 30 minutes left. Those got filled with classics like \u201cThe Saw Is The Law\u201d, \u201cOutbreak Of Evil\u201dand \u201cAgent Orange\u201d. At least a bit to satisfy the fans.<br \/>\n<strong>Sick Of It All<\/strong> Stage-action, more stage-action, Sick Of It All. The NYHC icon around the Koller brothers left no doubt about still running the most kilometres on stage as about belonging to this jubileum. With the catapult start by \u201cTake The Night Off\u201d and \u201cGood Lookin&#8217; Out\u201d they began on a high energy level holding it over \u201cDeath Or Jail\u201d until the classic \u201cScratch The Surface\u201d sung by thousands of fands who had turned out the festival ground to one huge moshpit.<br \/>\n<strong>In Flames<\/strong> The festivalsite was pretty packed for Gothenburg&#8217;s finest who was about to perform their third With Full Force headliner show. The kings of Melodic Death Metal opened by newer songs (\u201cSounds Of A Playground Fading\u201d, \u201cWhere The Dead Ships Dwell\u201d, \u201cAlias) to let follow classic hits (\u201cPinball Map\u201d, \u201cTrigger\u201d) getting the complete support by the crowd. For another time the Swedes got supported by a brilliant light as effect show. Vocalist Anders Frid\u00e9n showed his entertainer qualities and the band performed the old classic \u201cArtifacts Of The Black Rain\u201d as tight as newer hits like \u201cCloud Connected\u201d, \u201cThe Quiet Place\u201d or \u201cThe Mirror&#8217;s Truth\u201d. The audience appreciated this loudly. So after the recent single \u201cDeliver Us\u201d an awesome show got finished by \u201cTake This Life\u201d and \u201cMy Sweet Shadow\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tent Stage: Hardbowl<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Asking Alexandria<\/strong> It was time to my personal premier of watching Asking Alexandria for the first time. My expectations of their powerful Metalcore combined with great melodies shouldn&#8217;t get disappointed. \u201cA Prophecy\u201d, \u201cThe Final Episode (Let&#8217;s Change The Channel)\u201d and \u201cReckless &#038; Relentless\u201d the british sixpack reached enthused reactions from the audience and left by \u201cThe Death Of Me\u201d and \u201cRun Free\u201d from their forthcoming album.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tent Stage: Saturday Night Fever<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Kvelertak <\/strong>The return of the Norwegian Black &#8216;n&#8217; Roll formation was a remarkable one. A packed tent awaited them beginning with \u201cApenbaring\u201d and \u201cBruane Brenn\u201d from their new \u201cMeir\u201d release. There was nothing to notice about the stressful last minute arrival. So band as fans rocked enormously to the final \u201cFossegrim\u201d and the self-titled \u201cKvelertak\u201d.<br \/>\n<strong>Haudegen <\/strong>The following act from Berlin consisted of two singers performing in German assisted by a backing band. This all reminded me much on a light version of B\u00f6hse Onkelz. From the opener \u201cStadt Voller Helden\u201d over \u201cEin Mann, Ein Wort\u201d till the final \u201cWir Kommen Zur\u00fcck\u201d it became too trivial.<br \/>\n<strong>The Other<\/strong> The German Horror-Punk-fivepiece around fronter Rod Usher sounded as looked quite a bit like The Misfits. Their fan community celebrated \u201cMy Home Is My Casket\u201d, \u201cBack To The Cemetary\u201d and \u201c666 Ways To Die\u201d while this wasn&#8217;t my cup of beer.<br \/>\n<strong>Smoke Blow<\/strong> After canceling their last year&#8217;s appearance because of the thunderstorm the Hardcore Punk band from Kiel return to rock the tent. And so they definitely did by \u201cAlligator Radio\u201d and the Billy Idol cover \u201cRebel Yell\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunday<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Main Stage<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Mambo Kurt<\/strong> The same principle worked well as yesterday: A fun-\/comedy-act opened the day and the masses went to the stage. Announced as a special performance the artist interpreting classics on his hammond organ got support by 30 gogo-girls which resulted in much applause.<br \/>\n<strong>Between The Buried<\/strong> And Me What followed was one of the most fantastic live performances that I had experienced in my personal ten years joining the With Full Force. The very innovative as non-comparable Progressive Metal was that complex, not everbody could or wanted to watch. Anyway, those ones who stayed celebrated classics like \u201cWhite Walls\u201d and \u201cSelkies: The Endless Obsession\u201d as \u201cAstral Body\u201d or \u201cTelos\u201d from  the current masterpiece \u201cParallax II: The Future Sequence\u201d. Just the quintet from Charlotte didn&#8217;t get too much in motion while interpreting their compositions.<br \/>\n<strong>Betontod <\/strong>After 20 years of existence two years ago the german Punk formation forced their live-action massively. And so they returned to Roitzschjora with the opener \u201cKeine Popsongs\u201d earning directly much participation on the spectators&#8217; side. Even technical problems while \u201cSchwarzes Blut\u201d didn&#8217;t stop the party atmosphere. So a few minutes later the party continued including the highlights \u201cGl\u00fcck Auf\u201d and \u201cViva Punk!\u201d.<br \/>\n<strong>The Browning<\/strong> The difference between the Punk Rock before and what was up about to follow it couldn&#8217;t has become. Nevertheless the Electro Metal fourpiece also got much positive feedback from the audience applauding and headbanging for \u201cBloodlust\u201d, \u201cStanding To The Edge\u201d as for the new song \u201cPlanet Hate\u201d from the forthcoming album.<br \/>\n<strong>Devil Sold His Soul<\/strong> And so the party continued with Post Hardcore from the United Kingdom. The young band sounded pretty innovative. \u201cHope\u201d and \u201cEnd Of Days\u201d also convinced the pit-motivated crowd.<br \/>\n<strong>Knorkator <\/strong>The Comedy Metal weirdoes from Berlin attracted lots of fans in front of the stage going wild from the beginning consisting of \u201cDer Ultimative Mann\u201d, \u201cIch Will Nur Fick&#8217;n\u201d and the Boney M cover \u201cMa Baker\u201d. The band entertained by several costumes and gimmicks, Stumpen played with Alf Ator tennis on stage and Stumpen crowdsurfed inside an inflatable ball during \u201cKonflikt\u201d. After this incomparable stunt they bid farewell by \u201cWir Werden Alle Sterben\u201d.<br \/>\n<strong>Korpiklaani <\/strong>How the Finish sixpiece got this high billing position on the Main Stage was a big riddle to me. Their Folk Metal didn&#8217;t address so many visitors. And the fact that the party track \u201cVodka\u201d was the only one getting celebrating was symptomatic.<br \/>\n<strong>Caliban<\/strong> On my first With Full Force I discovered Caliban and over the past ten years I watched them about six times in Roitzschjora. Since then the band has developped from the new german hope in the raising Metalcore scene to an icon of this subgenre after its boom.  The quintet produced the hugest circle-pits, one around the sound tower, and \u201cIt&#8217;s Our Burden To Bleed\u201d, \u201cI Will Never Let You Down\u201d, \u201c24 Years\u201d and the final \u201cMemorial\u201d got celebrated by thousands of fans. Just the Rammstein cover \u201cSonne\u201d was unnecessary, Caliban can call many songs their own which work much better on stage.<br \/>\n<strong>Korn <\/strong>The leading band of the Nu Metal genre returned to Roitzschjora with their old as new guitarist Brian &#8216;Head&#8217; Welch. And the question was: Will they find back to old live qualities they had been known for, especially after the smashing co-headliner-show of Caliban? The answer was a clear yes. To my surprise they opened by their biggest as breakthrough hit \u201cBlind\u201d. Supported by a clear as bombastic sound and cool video projections the quintet held the audience in motion to \u201cFalling Away From Me\u201d, \u201cDid My Time\u201d, Lies\u201d and \u201cHere To Stay\u201d. After \u201cY&#8217; All Want A Single\u201d the band left the stage to return with the encores \u201cGet Up!\u201d, \u201cGot The Life\u201d and \u201cFreak On A Leash\u201d. Amazing jubilated show.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tent Stage: Hardbowl<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>All That Remains<\/strong> Over years I had thought as wished that the quintet from Massachussets belongs to the WFF. Finally the time had come and I seemed not the only one who had been waiting for. The passionate performance of the four men and one woman as the variable voice of shouter\/singer Phil Labonte inspired the crowd to singalongs, headbanging as circle-pits by \u201cSome Of The People, All The Time\u201d \u201cHold On\u201d, \u201cTwo Weeks\u201d, \u201cThis Calling\u201d, \u201cSix\u201d and \u201cBecome The Catalyst\u201d. Amazing!<br \/>\n<strong>Die Kassierer<\/strong> It&#8217;s a WFF-tradition to let the anarcho-punks headline the hardbowl one day every second year. So it was my sixth Kassierer show in Roitzschjora. Besides a new release in the meantime there hadn&#8217;t changed too much: Fronter W\u00f6lfi appeared occasionally naked and the band celebrated their Punk classics like \u201cBesoffen Sein\u201d, \u201cSex Mit Dem Sozialarbeiter\u201d, \u201cDas Schlimmste Ist, Wenn Das Bier Alle Ist\u201d, \u201cMein Glied Ist Zu Gro\u00df\u201d and \u201cStinkm\u00f6senpolka\u201d with the packed tent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tent Stage: The Last Supper<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Paradise Lost<\/strong> From the first tones of \u201cEnchantment\u201d this appearance became kind of magic. What an atmosphere! The up-tempo-classic Pity The Sadness followed and the headbanging fraction didn&#8217;t hesitate. After Nick Holmes&#8217; demand to bring the masses of the finished Korn-gig on the neighbored Main Stage up to the Tent Stage the quintet played the title track of the currend album \u201cTragic Idol\u201d to let follow their hit \u201cAs I Die\u201d. After \u201cThe Enemy\u201d and \u201cIn This We Dwell\u201d the British left with \u201cSay Just Words\u201d. Just sad they were forced to renounce \u201cOne Second\u201d due to time problems.<br \/>\n<strong>Negura Bunget<\/strong> After line-up-changes the sixpiece from Romania were back to perform their unique Black Metal with Romanian Folk instruments including the well-known woodboard. Anyway, what had been very interesting and innovative at former concerts felt pretty boring this night.<br \/>\n<strong>Amorphis <\/strong>The band from Finland of course knew how to rock the tired people opening with \u201cShades Of Gray\u201d from the new masterpiece \u201cCircle\u201d of which they also performed \u201cHopeless Days\u201d and \u201cNarrow Path\u201d. The fans mobilized their last stamina to celebrate \u201cSampo\u201d, \u201cSilver Bride\u201d as the classics \u201cInto Hiding\u201d and \u201cOn Rich And Poor\u201d. They finished a wonderful show as the whole live-action of the WFF anniversary with \u201cHouse Of Sleep\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe whole team wants to stress this year&#8217;s With Full Force was a very dignified anniversary as one of the best we had ever experienced within ten years now!!! The prices were still very fair to the fans (e.g. 2,50 \u20ac for a 0,4l beer or softdrink)! And as fair worked the prices for food! Our special thanks go out to Peter Klapproth, Sascha Merkel, Bogo Ritter and the WFF-team!!!!! At the With Full Force 2013 rocked, drank and partied Tobi Wan Kenobi, Julia, Helga, and Nicole!!!!!
