Summer Breeze 2014<\/strong>
\nThis year’s Summer Breeze was a different one: One of the two organizers had passed away whose name stands for the rise of this festival as it is combined with the rise of lots of bands while his time as founder and head of Metal Blade Europe. To honor him the organization decided to rename the Party Stage into T-Stage considering his nickname. A remarkable gesture, and not the only one for this weekend as you can read in this review! The SB-team decided to rearrange the festival area with a second direct entrance as exit to the open air stages, the mentioned tent stage got turned and the hole festivalsite seemed enlarged. The New Blood Award got dropped, instead of that competition the whole Wednesday became a Nuclear Blast – related day in the tent. As the year before the Camel Stage offered 30 minutes sets for mostly underground bands alternating with the T-Stage on all days. In contrast to the years before there was no tropical heat, therefore the climate conditions seemed to show autumn is near. Over each day it was pretty moderate, in the night it became a bit colder. Anyway, we dealt with it. The billing offered all different subgenres of hard music lead by the headliners Machine Head, Heaven Shall Burn and Children Of Bodom. At this year’s Summer Breeze 112 bands appeared on four stages for about 35000 visitors (Sold out!). <\/p>\n

Wednesday<\/strong>y
\nT-Stage<\/strong>
\nThe Vintage Caravan<\/strong> The seemingly young trio from Iceland showed by \u201eExpand Your Mind\u201c, \u201eCraving\u201c and \u201eCocaine Sally\u201c Vintage Rock could sound heavy. The Black Sabbath – as Blues – related sound inspired the numerous spectators to move.
\nBlues Pills<\/strong> The fourpiece from Orebr\u00f6 had just released one album, but they got celebrated like stars when they entered the stage. And from \u201eHigh Class Woman\u201c on this atmosphere even got raised. Lead by the impressing voice and the indisputable aura of their female voice Elin Larsson this hour turned out to a triumph finished by the encore \u201eTime Is Now\u201c. Highlight: \u201eNo Hope Left For Me\u201c.
\nDecapitated <\/strong>The Metal-related highlight of this day should become the high-approached Death Metal quartet from Poland. Technical skills met brutality and resulted in a smashing live experience. The fans reacted headbanging and creating moshpits to \u201e404\u201c, \u201eA View From A Hole\u201c, \u201ePest\u201c and the final \u201eHomo Sum\u201c.<\/p>\n

Thursday<\/strong>
\nMain Stage<\/strong>
\nThe Unguided<\/strong> After the brutal beginning on the neighbored one it was up to the Swedes to open the program on the biggest Summer Breeze stage. The quintet of three former Sonic Syndicate members didn’t really sound different in contrast to their ex-band. And probably this isn’t demanded by the target audience. Anyway, the modern sound balancing between the debut \u201eHell Frost\u201c and the new release \u201eFragile Immortality\u201c animated to move by crowdsurfing and circle-pits.
\nK\u00e4rbholz <\/strong>The next formation tried to win the crowd by German Punk Rock, but just a couple of spectators felt motivated to this sound. The idea to integrate the Torfrock hit \u201eBeinhart\u201c into the setlist didn’t really help at all.
\nEluveitie <\/strong>The eightpiece from Switzerland got much support for their Folk Rock although they played by the opener \u201eOrigins\u201c, \u201eThe Nameless\u201c, \u201eFrom Darkness\u201c, \u201eThe Silver Sister\u201c, \u201eCall Of The Mountains\u201c and \u201eKing\u201c many tracks from their brandnew release which probably had been unknown for the present majority. \u201eInis Mona\u201c of course earned the most celebration.
\nArch Enemy<\/strong> High expectations awaited the Swedes around new Canadien vocalist Alissa White-Gluz , but the sound got blown away by the wind. So smashers like \u201eRavenous\u201c, \u201eMy Apocalypse\u201c or \u201eWe Will Rise\u201c didn’t reach its usual power. Anyway, Alissa showed she’s not just an eye-catcher and animated the crowd to headbang massively to the new \u201eWar Eternal\u201c – tracks (\u201eYesterday Is Dead And Gone\u201c, the title track, \u201eYou Will Know My Name\u201c, \u201eAs The Pages Burn\u201c).
\nDown <\/strong>What followed was one of the most powerful as unique bands in the billing, a long jam session followed by hits and a drunk as stoned but still sympathic fronter Phil Anselmo. He is allowed to insult the audience (\u201eYou assholes on this asshole festival!\u201c, etc.) which still knew not to take this too serious. Anyway, the Sludge legend from New Orleans rocked as grooved the infield by \u201eWitchtripper\u201c, \u201eLifer\u201c (dedicated to Dimebag Darrel), \u201eLysergic Funeral Procession\u201c, \u201eHail The Leaf\u201c, \u201eStone The Crow\u201c and the fantastic final of \u201eBury Me In Smoke\u201c after which Phil Anselmo returned to sing with the crowd the chorus of Led Zeppelin’s \u201eStairway To Heaven\u201c a capella.
\nChildren Of Bodom<\/strong> Mark my words: Children Of Bodom are much too overrated than to fill a headliner position for a festival like the Summer Breeze is! Anyway, the infield got pretty packed, and so this position couldn’t be that wrong. Starting with \u201eHate Me!\u201c and \u201eNeedled 24\/7\u201c the audience got pushed to singalongs, circle-pits and crowdsurfing, and this continued while \u201eSixpounder\u201c, \u201eHatecrew Deathroll\u201c, \u201eAre You Dead Yet?\u201c, \u201eEverytime I Die\u201c and \u201eBodom After Midnight\u201c. On the other side this appearance looked much to experienced. Anyway, the fans seemingly enjoyed it.<\/p>\n

Pain Stage<\/strong>
\nAborted <\/strong>Brutal Death Metal started the Open Air program of this year’s Summer Breeze – edition. Considering their new smasher \u201eThe Necrotic Manifesto\u201c by \u201eCoffin Upon Coffin\u201c and its title track the Belgians probably woke up the last metalheads had been asleep till then.
\nDelain <\/strong>In contrast to the Swedes playing right before on the neighbored Main Stage it should be the approach for the Dutch band to play the keyboard live, but keyboarder as songwriter Martijn Westerholt was missing, so they were forced to sample several keys. Lead by front-beauty Charlotte Wessels the temporary fourpiece performed a convincing best of set just considering \u201eArmy Of Dolls\u201c from their new \u201eThe Human Contradiction\u201c album and finished by \u201eWe Are The Others\u201c motivating all spectators to take part in.
\nHackneyed <\/strong>Instead of the live surprise of this year’s With Full Force, Of Mice & Men from California, the local heroes bored for another time by their trivial Death Metal. Anyway, the organization reacted fast replacing the short-termed cancelation by a band enthusing the first rows.
\nCaliban <\/strong>Germany’s leading band in melodic Metalcore attracted lots of supporters creating a huge circle-pit. By the opener \u201eKing\u201c, \u201eNebel\u201c, \u201eI Am Ghost\u201c, \u201eMy Vertigo\u201c, \u201eChaos – Creation\u201c and \u201eYour Song\u201c the fivepiece played six tracks from the new album \u201eGhost Empire\u201c which worked as well on stage as the more familiar \u201eNowhere To Run, No Place To Hide\u201c, \u201eI Will Never Let Youn Down\u201c or \u201eMemorial\u201c. Meanwhile numerous crowdsurfers took care about the pit security didn’t get bored.
\nEquilibrium<\/strong> Why this trivial Pagan Metal combo from Munich got this high billing position after Caliban and Arch Enemy having one hour show time was and still is a riddle to me. The new members on guitar (Dom R. Crey) as on bass (Jen Majura, also known from Knorkator) seemed well-integrated balancing their set between new \u201eErdentempel\u201c- tracks and older ones.
\nBehemoth <\/strong>A complete triumph should be the right description to what followed the next hour. The Death \/ Black Metal icon from Poland attracted numerous fans in front of the stage who celebrated the return after five years in which fronter Nergal had to fight against cancer leading him to the announcement: \u201eIt’s great to be alive.\u201c After beginning by the new \u201eThe Satanist\u201c-tracks \u201eBlow Your Trumpets, Gabriel\u201c and \u201eOra Pro Nobis Lucifer\u201c the fourpiece enthused by \u201eAs Above, So Below\u201c, \u201eSlaves Shall Serve\u201c, \u201eOv Fire And The Void\u201c, \u201eAt The Left Hand Ov God\u201c or \u201eChant For Eskaton\u201c before the third new title \u201eO Father, O Satan, O Son\u201c finished this pyro-supported show.
\nTestament <\/strong>This gig left me kind of speechless. After their headliner appearance at Rock Hard Festival completely had disappointed their sound sucked again big time. Highlight of this concert just was the guest appearance of Arch Enemy’s Alissa White-Gluz during \u201eInto The Pit\u201c. \u201eMore Than Meets The Eye\u201c, \u201ePractise What You Preach\u201c, \u201eOver The Wall\u201c and \u201eD.N.R. (Do Not Resuscitate\u201c) animated the die-hard-fans, but my face wasn’t the only one showing dissappointment after the show.<\/p>\n

T-Stage<\/strong>
\nThe Ocean<\/strong> Two years after they had overwhelmed every present being while their show in the tent stage the experimental weirdoes from Berlin returned to convince for another time on the same stage as well. The band completely focussed on their new masterpiece \u201ePelegial\u201c. Their sound got visually supported by video suiting productions sharing the album’s issue: The sea. Band as fans freaked out pushing this performance to its maximum.
\nThe Haunted<\/strong> Marco Aro is back, and with him the focus on the brutal side of The Haunted. And this set accent became clear from the beginning marked by \u201eThe Premonition\u201c, \u201eThe Flood, The Medication\u201c, \u201e99\u201c and \u201eTresspass\u201c which all took care about getting the crowd activated, and this worked well. And although I had preferred the fronter of all the years before, Peter Dolving, the sympathic new old one won all fans’ hearts including my one. \u201eBury Your Dead\u201c and \u201eHate Song\u201c finished an energetic performance.<\/p>\n

Friday<\/strong>
\nMain Stage<\/strong>
\nCrucified Barbara<\/strong> After the Stahlmann-desaster the all-girl-quartet from Stockholm might have had an easy game to convince the audience, but that did it anyway. Besides the attractiveness of the four ladies their performance rocked. Special attraction was the presentation of four tracks from the forthcoming album by the opener \u201eThe Crucifier\u201c, \u201eTo Kill A Man\u201c, \u201eI Sell My Kids For Rock ‘n’ Roll\u201c and \u201eElectric Sky\u201c.
\nPrimal Fear<\/strong> Melodic Metal usually doesn’t work that well at the Summer Breeze, but Mat Sinner, Ralf Scheepers & Co had kind of a home game. Otherwise there weren’t that many fans on the infield anyway. Those ones who were there celebrated the new \u201eDelivering The Black\u201c – tracks as the title track or the ballad \u201eWhen Death Comes Knocking\u201c. The loudest reactions earned the final consisting of \u201eChainbreaker\u201c and \u201eMetal Is Forever\u201c.
\nJ.B.O.<\/strong> It was surprising as astonishing how packed up the infield was in the afternoon, so a few persons spoke about the secret headliner. The fourpiece celebrated with their masses of fans their 25th anniversary of existence. While \u201eEin Fest\u201c they turned the infield into a pink cloud, the festivalsite floor should stay pink for the rest of the festival. Fans sang J.B.O. songs all over the campsite even hours after the show. Really substainable!
\nGamma Ray<\/strong> Kai Hansen looked quite a bit different with his full-haired head. Anyway, the German Melodic Metal institution enthused their fans by tracks from their new release \u201eEmpire Of The Undead\u201c (the opener \u201eHellbent\u201c, \u201eAvalon\u201c, \u201eMaster Of Confusion\u201c) as by classics (\u201eRebellion In Dreamland\u201c, \u201eMan On A Mission\u201c, \u201eTo The Metal\u201c, the final \u201eSend Me A Sign\u201c). Just the much to enlarged Helloween cover \u201eI Want Out\u201c with even an integrated Reggae-part could as should have been much shorter.
\nCarcass <\/strong>It was the first time for the Grind \/ Death Metal legend to appear at the Summer Breeze, and it turned out to a complete success. The audience celebrated \u201eCadaver Pouch Conveyor System\u201c, \u201eUnfit For Human Consumption\u201c and \u201eThe Granulating Dark Satanic Mills\u201c from their current album \u201eSurgical Steel\u201c as classics like \u201eIncarnated Solvent Abuse\u201c and the final \u201eHeartwork\u201c. Fronter Jeff Walker amused in the beginning with his advise his German being damaged, so keeping on to talk in English which wouldn’t make any difference because nobody would understand him in England as well. Entertaining as amazing!
\nMachine Head<\/strong> The time had come for the probably biggest band that had ever played in Dinkelsb\u00fchl. And the 90 minutes should turn out to a triumphal procession. Lead by the probably best live opener a band can call their own, \u201eImperium\u201c, the whole infield supported the kings of modern Thrash Metal from the Bay Area, ignoring the beginning rain. Mainman Robb Flynn communicated a lot with the fans, and sympathy turned out to loyalty showing up in headbanging- pit support for \u201eLocust\u201c, \u201eThe Blood, The Sweat, The Tears\u201c, \u201eTen Ton Hammer\u201c, the ballad \u201eDarkness Within\u201c, and \u201eBulldozer\u201c. Supported by pyros, catapulted paper-pieces and smoke fountains the band-hymn \u201eDavidian\u201c got as much celebrated as the following \u201eAesthetic Of Hate\u201c and \u201eOld\u201c. After this the quartet got support by Ignite-vocalist Zoli T\u00e9gl\u00e1s to cover his band’s classic \u201eBleeding\u201c introducing the interluding intro \u201eDarkest Days\u201c before. Finally the band bid farewell by \u201eHalo\u201c. To quote Robb Flynn’s favorite word: \u201eAwesome!\u201c<\/p>\n

Pain Stage<\/strong>
\nStahlmann <\/strong>The Rammstein-clone from G\u00f6ttingen was one of the hardest wake-up-calls I had ever experienced. Besides the uninspired music the announcements weren’t even better. As fronter Mart said (translated): \u201eOne word: Just great.\u201c As promising was the whole appearance.
\nDeadlock<\/strong> It was a very rare, exclusive show when the Deathcore quintet returned to Dinkelsb\u00fchl, and shouter John pointed out why: \u201eWe have a baby!\u201c Female vocalist Sabine was pregnant which didn’t disturb her voice skills. So the SB-audience-darlings got celebrated for \u201eThe Brave \/ Agony Applause\u201c, \u201eCode Of Honor\u201c, \u201eI’m Gone\u201c, \u201eRenegade\u201c and the final \u201eAwakened By Sirens\u201c. Well done and good luck for the baby!
\nBenediction <\/strong>It had been a long time since the Birmingham Death Metal machine had released an album, so they presented a best of set their die-hard fans used to bang their heads off to from the starter \u201eNightfear\u201c over \u201eThe Grotesque\u201c till \u201e\u201cMagnificat\u201c.
\nIgnite <\/strong>What followed probably was the best performance of the whole weekend! The strong beginning consisting of \u201eLet It Burn\u201c, \u201eFear Is Our Tradition\u201c and \u201ePoverty For All\u201c caught the crowd to move and singalong. Vocalist Zoli T\u00e9gl\u00e1s did some intelligent announcements which showed brain was present as well at this party. Before \u201eFill In The Blanks\u201c he advised all fathers to take care about their kids and what may happen, if not.. He also pointed out on free-trade-madness as on the several wars distressing this planet and animated the crowd to \u201eNo War!\u201c chants. The fans celebrated \u201eA Place Called Home\u201c, \u201eBleeding\u201c, the new unreleased \u201eOh No, Not Again!\u201c, \u201eBy My Side\u201c, \u201eMy Judgement Day\u201c, the ballad \u201eLive For Better Days\u201c and the final \u201eVeteran\u201c.
\nAugust Burns Red<\/strong> After the older Melodic Metal veterans on the neighbored stage it was time for the modern Metalcore from Pennsylvania. The fivepiece attracted numerous especially young fans to go crazy for \u201eBack Burner\u201c, \u201eMeddler\u201c, \u201eEmpire\u201c and several other songs containing tight breakdowns, melodic guitar melodies as brutal shouting. So \u201eWhite Washed\u201c closed a convincing performanve leaving no doubt August Burns Red were worth their high billing position.
\nHypocrisy<\/strong> The Swedish Death Metal institution populated the infield, a switch to the Main Stage next time would be logic. Besides its title track and \u201eThe Eye\u201c from the recent release \u201eEnd Of Disclosure\u201c Peter T\u00e4gtgren performed a killer setlist containing \u201eFractured Millenium\u201c, \u201eKilling Art\u201c and the amazing final consisting of \u201eFire In The Sky\u201c, \u201eFinal Chapter\u201c and of course Roswell 47\u201c leaving no wishes open as causing much headbanging action on as in front of the stage.
\nDevin Townsend Project<\/strong> After the awesome headliner show of Machine Head there was one act to hold or even raise the level: The almighty Devin Townsend and his sidekicks. After the entertaining photo shop show putting his face into several familiar heads the quartet blew all present fans away by \u201eSeventh Wave\u201c, \u201eWar\u201c and \u201eRegulator\u201c before bringing magic by the atmospheric \u201eDeadhead\u201c and especially by Anneke van Giersbergen on stage.. The rest of the concert had turned out to pure art before \u201eBad Devil\u201c set the final point.<\/p>\n

T-Stage <\/strong>
\nMaroon <\/strong>The final chapter of one of Germany’s leading Metalcore bands had come: Fronter Andr\u00e9 Moraweck animated the fans to reach a maximum level of participation. So the moshpit constantly was in motion from the opener \u201eAnd If I Lose, Welcome Annihilation\u201c over \u201e(Reach) The Sun\u201c, \u201eStay Brutal\u201c up to the last played title \u201eWake Up In Hell\u201c. This was the final curtain of a band which split much too early.
\nAhab <\/strong>The quartet from Munich had appeared in the deepest night both of their latest Summer Breeze – appearances before, what had worked very well with the atmospheric as heavy Doom. This time they got the chance to play in the evening right after prime time to reach more spectators. And they took their chance fascinating several hundreds from \u201eThe Divinity Of Oceans\u201c over the Omega Massif cover \u201eW\u00f6lfe\u201c to the epic \u201eThe Hunt\u201c.<\/p>\n

Saturday<\/strong>
\nMain Stage<\/strong>
\nIwrestledabearonce <\/strong>The weirdoes with the unspeakable name astonished by their mixture between high-approached and party-compatible elements leading to a heavy as innovative sound while the quintet from Louisiana around the variable voice of Courtney La Plante didn’t take themselves too serious what their stage-action as titles like \u201eTastes Like Kevin Bacon\u201c, \u201eKarate Nipples\u201c or \u201eDanger In The Manger\u201c showed.
\nThyrfing <\/strong>After their Norwegian neighbores on the neighbored stage the second Viking Black Metal formation of the day performed, and according to the later time this one attracted more fans in front of the stage. And those ones celebrated \u201eThe Voyager\u201c, \u201eMj\u00f6lner\u201c and \u201eStorms Of Asgard\u201c.
\nObituary <\/strong>The Death Metal icon from Florida set the brutality level much higher from the first tone on. The riffing catching up with John Tardy’s unique shouts caused much headbanging in front of the stage. By \u201eVisions In My Head\u201c, \u201eViolence\u201c and \u201eInked In Blood\u201c the fivepiece even introduced three new tracks from the forthcoming album. And all over this throned the final \u201eSlowly We Rot\u201c.
\nTarja <\/strong>The ex-Nightwish-siren returned to Dinkelsb\u00fchl followed by ex-Apocalyptica-cellist Max Lilja, ex-Farmer-Boys-sixstringer Alex Scholpp and drum-legionnaire Mike Terrana starting with \u201eLittle Lies\u201c. It was impressing how Mrs Turunen performed jumping in her high heels while every other woman would have gone to hospital for sure right after the first move. On the other hand I asked myself what exactly this show had to to with Metal. The last remained connection to the sound of her ex-band was the Gary-Moore-cover \u201eOver The Hills And Far Away\u201c earning the most applause.
\nIn Extremo<\/strong> The Folk Rock \/ Metal sevenpiece returned, for the first after several times not as headliner. So they populated the infield just a bit earlier anyway. And their numerous supporters were motivated celebrating the opener \u201eMein Rasend Herz\u201c, \u201eVollmond\u201c, \u201eHerr Mannelig\u201c, \u201eGaukler\u201c which got dedicated to the mentioned passed Summer Breeze organizer T, and the final with \u201eSpielmannsfluch\u201c and \u201eA Vis Lo Loop\u201c. Assisted by an enormous stage set including different levels and a mighty pyro show the medieval formation got the right stage to even more than to co-headline.
\nHeaven Shall Burn<\/strong> But finally the one and only headliner of this last SB2015-day showed they were the real deal. For the fifth time at the Summer Breeze headlining it for the third one they left no doubt about it from the opener \u201eCounterweight\u201c on. The masses followed in huger and huger circle-pits to a killer-setlist containing \u201eCombat\u201c, \u201eVoice Of The Voiceless\u201c, \u201eHunters Will Be Hunted\u201c, \u201eBehind A Wall Of Silence\u201c, \u201eGodiva\u201c, the Edge Of Sanity cover \u201eBlack Tears\u201c, \u201eEndzeit\u201c and \u201eThe Weapon The Fear\u201c. The most overwhelming moment happened when the quintet returned for the encore as Blind Guardian cover \u201eValhalla\u201c in which a large backdrop was shown up with the portrait of the passed organizer T! All thumbs up to this memorable action! <\/p>\n

Pain Stage<\/strong>
\nUndertow <\/strong>The formation is a very festival-related one: This must have been about their seventh appearance at the Summer Breeze. The pretty Crowbar-comparable sound was the right one to get myself slowly into the day. Definitely the highlight was when fronter Joschi dedicated \u201eCanvas Ghosts\u201c to the mentioned passed SB-organizer T!
\nKampfar <\/strong>After the interesting opening acts on both stages on each followed Pagan Black Metal. The first stept of these got done by the Norwegian fourpiece spending half of the set to their new output \u201eDjevelmakt\u201c reaching the little Pagan-fraction.
\nBrainstorm <\/strong>The only Power Metal band always having a home game at the Summer Breeze is Brainstorm. And from the beginning marked by \u201eHighs Without Lows\u201c, \u201eWorld’s Are Comin’ Through\u201c and \u201eShiva’s Tears it was clear nothing had changed about their status in Dinkelsb\u00fchl. Lead by the voice as sympathic entertainer Andy B. Franck the quintet presented by \u201eErased By The Dark\u201c and the title song material from the new album \u201eFiresoul\u201c. So they finished by \u201eAll Those Words\u201c another jubilated gig.
\nCallejon <\/strong>The following hour turned out to one big success: The Metalcore-fivepiece from D\u00fcsseldorf attracted lots of fans including many female ones who were motivated to party to \u201eSommer Liebe Kokain\u201c, the cover versions \u201eSchwule M\u00e4dchen\u201c (Fettes Brot) as \u201eSchrei Nach Liebe\u201c (Die \u00c4rzte), \u201eDieses Lied Macht Betroffen\u201c as both editions of \u201ePorn From Spain\u201c. Especially the loud singalongs of the audience while the ballad \u201eKind Im Nebel\u201c showed the popularity of this band.
\nMono Inc.<\/strong> Who had thought about what Tarja has to do with this festival needed to have even a much bigger tolerance level to survive the following hour. The trivial Goth Pop rocked like a political party convention, a podiatrist date, or just like the vatican. Who didn’t watch this at all spared an hour for more interesting things, whatever they may be, in life.
\nWintersun <\/strong>Nine years after playing at the Summer Breeze on the old ground in Abtsgm\u00fcnd the Finnish fourpiece around ex-Ensiferum-guitarist Jari M\u00e4enp\u00e4\u00e4 returned and just got the billing position between the two main acts of the day. Titles as \u201eDarkness And Frost\u201c or \u201eWinter Madness\u201c suited a bit too this year’s colder Summer Breeze edition. The fans celebrated those ones getting warm.
\nWatain <\/strong>The final hour of this year’s open air stage program belonged to the Swedish Black Metal formation celebrated their rituals with the usual candle-flames, tridents and those stuff. The left Blackies of the visitors celebrated the too routined performed show including \u201eBlack Flames March\u201c, \u201eMalfeitor\u201c, \u201eOutlaw\u201c and the final title \u201eThe Wild Hunt\u201c.<\/p>\n

T-Stage<\/strong>
\nBiohazard <\/strong>Hopefully nobody of our readers missed this show: The NYHC-fourpiece invited to the last dance. One of the oldest bands under more than hundred participants this weekend showed the most agile performance. But besides their numerous heli-jumps they invited about fifty fans on stage filling this up as turning it to a pure party platform while \u201ePunishment\u201c after \u201eWhat Makes Us Tick\u201c, \u201eUrban Discipline\u201c, \u201eSurvival Of The Fittest\u201c, \u201eTales From The Hard Side\u201c and \u201eBlack And White And Red All Over\u201c had got jubilated as well in front of the stage.<\/p>\n
