Full Force<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After 25 years the formerly known With Full Force got transferred to new organizers. Those ones, who also manage Melt Festival and Splash! Festival both taking place in Ferropolis as well, changed a few details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most obvious one is the name: They cut out the \u201eWith\u201c, from now on it’s called \u201eFull Force\u201c. Furthermore they returned to the classic lapse of time between friday and sunday instead of one day before like it had happened for the latest two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most remarkable changes to us were the improved as more innovative billing (in contrast to the latest years) and the new invented Medusa Seastage right at the beach utilizing the natural advantages of the lake. This atmosphere emphasized several special moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides that the unique Ferropolis festival feeling was still present everywhere. The organization ran well, especially the water supply during these hot weekend is mentionable. So the visitors had all to celebrate an attractive program lead by Limp Bizkit, Arch Enemy and Parkway Drive returning after their unforgettable Ferropolis-live-blast one year before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prices are on the level of other big festivals (e.g. 3,50 \u20ac for 0,3 l beer), the variety of food was as always huge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Ferropolis appeared 62 bands on three stages for about 16000 visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mad Max Mainstage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bleeding Through<\/strong> After six years of absence the sixpack from Orange County returned with their album \u201eLove Will Kill All\u201c. So \u201eWelcome back, bitches!\u201c felt like the right salutation to start their comeback show as this year’s Mainstage program. New (\u201eFade Into The Ash\u201c, \u201eBuried\u201c, \u201eSet Me Free\u201c) as classic (\u201eRise\u201c, \u201eRevenge I Seek\u201c, \u201eAnti-Hero\u201c) material worked well while shouter Brandon Schieppati and constantly banging keyboarder Marta Peterson animated the early present crowd to first motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any Given Day<\/strong> With their new release \u201eOverpower\u201c the fivepiece from Gelsenkirchen started strong by \u201eStart Over\u201c and \u201eLoveless\u201c and impressed by a tight performance as the variable voice of fronter Dennis Diehl. By the following \u201eEndurance\u201c and \u201eLevels\u201c they inspired many spectators to jump. This all lead into a respectable wall of death considering the early afternoon as the hot temperatures. \u201eArise\u201c, \u201eNever Surrender\u201c and \u201eSavior\u201c finished a jubilated show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While She Sleeps<\/strong> Stadium-compatible Metalcore is my definition for the band from Sheffield which is meant completely positive. In front of a huge backdrop vocalist Lawrence Taylor & Co reached the audience celebrating and singing along with \u201eAnti-Social\u201c, \u201eThe Guilty Party\u201c and \u201eHaunt Me\u201c from their new album \u201eSo What\u201c as the classics \u201eYou Are We\u201c, \u201eFour Walls\u201c, \u201eSilence Speaks\u201c and \u201eHurricane\u201c. A (live) band we’ll hear more from the next years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sick Of It All<\/strong> After those newer sounds it was time for the NYC-Hardcore-veterans to \u201eWake The Sleeping Dragon!\u201c. By the title track as \u201eInner Vision\u201c from their latest output and several familiar songs like \u201eUs Vs. Them\u201c, \u201eInjustice System\u201c, \u201eMy Life\u201c as \u201eGood Lookin’ Out\u201c the formation around the Koller-brothers took care about pit-action in the audience. They closed the set by their classics \u201eScratch The Surface\u201c and \u201eStep Down\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behemoth<\/strong> You think Black\/Death Metal doesn’t work at Full Force? Definitely wrong, the quartet from Gdansk performed an impressing show. Whether new compositions from \u201eI Love You From Your Darkest\u201c like the opener \u201eWolves Of Siberia\u201c, \u201eBartzabel\u201c and \u201eSabbath Mater\u201c or classics as \u201eOra Pro Nobis Lucifer\u201c, \u201eOv Fire And The Void\u201c, \u201eGod = Dog\u201c, \u201eBlow Your Trumpets Gabriel\u201c and \u201eChant For Eschaton 2000\u201c, supported by lots of pyros and several other special effects the quartet left no doubt about their billing position. Mainman Adam Nergal’s very autobiographic shout (He survived cancer!) \u201eIt’s so good be alive!\u201c also fit to this live experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parkway Drive<\/strong> One year ago the five musicians from Byron Bay performed a bombastic show including lots of special effects and drummer Gaz playing in a vertically circulating drumkit. This year they decided for an extraordinary introduction by walking through the audience to the stage flanked by securities with torches. After this the complete madness began with \u201eWishing Wells\u201c, \u201ePrey\u201c, \u201eVice Grip\u201c and \u201eKarma\u201c. The filled festival area freaked out and sang along with \u201eThe Void as \u201eIdols And Anchors\u201c before the band got support by violinists during \u201eWritings On The Wall\u201c as \u201eShadow Boxing\u201c and finished its regular set by \u201eWild Eyes\u201c, which got sung along together with thousands of fans’ voices. They returned with amazing fire works and the encores \u201eCrushed\u201c as \u201eBottom Feeder\u201c finishing another outstanding show in flames, smoke and pleasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medusa Seastage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wolfheart<\/strong> The opening act of this phenomenal stage at the beach was the quartet from Finland. Although a Melodic Death Metal formation doesn’t sound very beach-like, their origin from the land of the thousand lakes may have helped. The audience celebrated \u201eThe Hunt\u201c and \u201eGhost Of Karelia\u201c as the newer \u201eBreakwater\u201c, so mainman Tuomas Saukkonen praised the first appearance with spectators in paddling motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Municipal Waste<\/strong> After the canceled slot of Black Peaks it was up to the fivepiece from Richmond to push up the beach mood again. Fronter Tony Foresta animated the naked swimmers to a nude pit, but they preferred to stay in the lake. Their fans celebrated \u201eThe Art Of Partying\u201c anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amenra<\/strong> The Belgian Sludge quartet performed their atmospheric sound with fat riffs and the yelled shouts of vocalist Colin H. Van Eeckhout who appeared with his back to the audience. By the beginning sundown the sound of \u201eBoden\u201c, \u201eRazoreater\u201c, \u201eA Solitary Reign\u201c as \u201eDiaken\u201c evolved its total atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cannibal Corpse<\/strong> Ready for the final Grindcore moshpit-fest of the first day? The fivepiece from Florida left no doubt they wanted action, and the well-populated beach didn’t hesitate to move on the beach while the newer \u201eRed Before Black\u201c as to classics like \u201eMake Them Suffer\u201c and \u201eStripped, Raped And Strangled\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hardbowl Tentstage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Landmvrks<\/strong> The fivepiece from Marseille enthused by their melodic variable Metalcore in the tent. Their sympathic active performance convinced in the early afternoon, so the spectators supported \u201eFantasy\u201c, \u201eBlistering\u201c, \u201eWinter\u201c and \u201eScars\u201c by moshpit action as singing along the catchy choruses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Amity Affliction<\/strong> The fourpiece assembled numerous fans in the tent right before their fellow Australians were supposed to headline on the neighbored Main Stage. Their supporters celebrated the opener \u201eDrag The Lake\u201c, \u201eIvy (Doomsday)\u201c, \u201eD.I.E.\u201c and \u201eFeels Like I’m Dying\u201c from their current album \u201eMisery\u201c as classics like \u201eThis Could Be Heartbreak\u201c, \u201eShine On\u201c and the final \u201ePittsburgh\u201c. Their riffs and shouts as the bittersweet chorus melodies left no other option than to participate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tentstage: Kn\u00fcppelnacht<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Batushka<\/strong> The Black Metal formation from Poland celebrated a black mass with three monks and lots of candles on stage. This strange show left a bunch of questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carach Angren<\/strong> The Dutch Black Metal trio took care about it didn’t become less ridiculous. The whole appearance including \u201eGeneral Nightmare\u201c, \u201eBlood Queen\u201c and \u201ePitch Black Box\u201c as its performance looked like a satire of itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultha<\/strong> These 45 minutes were the final noise deep in the first night of this year’s Full Force – edition. The Black Metal fourpiece from Cologne gave its best, but just a few visitors were left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mad Max Mainstage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Annisokay<\/strong> The definite band to open the Mainstage program of the day: The regional Melodic Metalcore heroes joked their backdrop had been too huge to suit the big stage and entertained by their catchy songs like \u201eComa Blue\u201c, \u201eGood Stories\u201c and \u201eUnaware\u201c from their recent album \u201eArms\u201c as older tracks like \u201eWhat’s Wrong\u201c or \u201eSky\u201c, the first rows seemed to be familiar with the lyrics anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crowbar<\/strong> Time was up for the return of the Sludge Doom formation from New Orleans. While opening with the classic \u201eAll I Had (I Gave)\u201c the festival area was pretty empty probably due to the hot temperatured. But Kirk Windstein & Coe achieved to repopulate the place a bit, and those ones shouldn’t regret experiencing \u201eThe Cemetary Angels\u201c, \u201eTo Carry The Load\u201c and \u201eLike Broken Glass\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bury Tomorrow<\/strong> The fivepiece from Southampton started furious with \u201eNo Less Violent\u201c and let follow several new pit-motivators from their new masterpiece \u201eBlack Flame\u201c as \u201eMore Than Mortal\u201c, \u201eKnife Of Gold\u201c, \u201eThe Age\u201c and the title track as finisher. Their fans celebrated them as formerly released hymns like \u201eEarthbound\u201c and \u201eLast Light\u201c. The supporters took care about permanent moshpit-action and singalongs during the clean vocal choruses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At The Gates<\/strong> When the Gothenburg Melodic Death Metal inventors opened with the title track of their current album \u201eTo Drink From The Night Itself\u201c and let follow \u201eSlaughter Of The Soul\u201c as \u201eAt War With Reality\u201c. By time more fans populated the festival area, but whether the new \u201eA Stare Bound In Stone\u201c and \u201eThe Colors Of The Beast\u201c or the classics \u201eSuicide Nation\u201c, \u201eBlinded By Fear\u201c as \u201eThe Night Eternal\u201c should have deserved more headbangers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knorkator<\/strong> The Comedy Metal formation from Berlin assembled numerous of fans in front of the stage and entertained by a funny as tight played best of set consisting of \u201eKurz Und Klein\u201c, \u201eB\u00f6se\u201c, \u201eAlter Mann\u201c as the covers from Ace Of Base (\u201eAll That She Wants\u201c) and Boney M. (\u201eMa Baker\u201c). The show was sympathic as well, all those gimmicks as vocalist Stumpen running in a huge ball over the audience were more than well-entertaining. With \u201eZ\u00e4hneputzen, Pullern Und Ab Ins Bett\u201c and \u201eWir Werden Alle Sterben\u201c they bid farewell from an enthused crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arch Enemy<\/strong> After the Metalcore heroes of Parkway Drive the night before and the Crossover icon Limp Bizkit the following one I didn’t know how the Metal headliner on saturday would convince the visitors. Of course they couldn’t reach the moshpit action as the Australians the night before, but the festival area was populated. So supported by several pyro effects \u201eRavenous\u201c, \u201eWar Eternal\u201c, \u201eMy Apocalypse\u201c, \u201eYou Will Know My Name\u201c, \u201eUnder Black Flags We March\u201c and \u201eAs The Pages Burn\u201c fronter Alissa White-Gluz and the technically-skilled instrumental fraction caused loud reactions as headbanging support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medusa Seastage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harakiri For The Sky<\/strong> The Austrian sixpack wasn’t probably used to perform their Black Metal in the hot sun on the beach. Anyway, \u201eCalling The Rain\u201c, \u201eLungs Filled With Water\u201c and \u201eJhater\u201c found its applause by sunbathers and lakeswimmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Infected Rain<\/strong> The Moldovan breakthrough band was the right act to rock the beach. Their Metalcore with a couple of Djent-riffs and the variable voice of Lena Scissorheads worked very well, especially the technicians had solved the microphone problems in the beginning of the set. So \u201eMold\u201c and \u201eOrphan Soul\u201c found as much support as \u201ePasserby\u201c and \u201eThe Earth Mantra\u201c from their forthcoming album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Animals As Leaders<\/strong> The technically high skilled trio from Washington, D.C. didn’t assemble that many fans in front of the stage than the Moldovans before, but they left many mouths open by their instrumental monsters. The astonishing performance of \u201eWave Of Babies\u201c, \u201eTempting Time\u201c, \u201eThe Brain Dance\u201c as their video-single CAFO left no doubt about this appearance was a special showcase to most of the present visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alcest<\/strong> The French formation around mainman Neige drowned the beach as the lake into the riffs of their atmospheric compositions in the evening. Numerous spectators enjoyed \u201eAutre Temps\u201c, \u201eKodama\u201c, Perc\u00e9es De Lumi\u00e8re\u201c and \u201eL\u00e0 O\u00f9 Naissent Les Couleurs Nouvelles\u201c which could easily be scilled by much applause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zeal & Ardor<\/strong> Another outstanding act should complete saturday’s Seastage action: The Avangarde Black Metal project around Manuel Gagneux surprised and fascinated with their mixture between straight Black Metal riffs as shouts and Gospel vocals. Supported by two co-singers \u201eBlood In The River\u201c, \u201eBuilt On Ashes\u201c and the hymn \u201eDevil Is Fine developped its potential with an inspiring effect on the astonished crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tentstage: Impericon Hardbowl<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jinjer<\/strong> The Ukrainian fourpiece is on a triumphant march through any festival confirming them. Suited in a golden outfit vocalist Tatiana Shmaylyuk and her comrades gave everything and got everything from a curious crowd. \u201eWords Of Wisdom\u201c, \u201eI Speak Astronomy\u201c, the wonderful semi-ballad \u201ePisces\u201c and the set finishing \u201eSit Stay Roll Over\u201c caused a couple of moshpits and much jubilation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terror<\/strong> Isn’t the Hardcore legend from Los Angeles to huge for the Tentstage? Maybe, but so their performance became a special highlight in a packed tent including lots of energy on as in front of the stage. From the beginning by \u201eLowest Of The Low\u201c, \u201eStick Tight\u201c and \u201eOvercome\u201c band as crowd were one and the circle-pits didn’t let wait too long. By \u201eThis World Never Wanted Me\u201c and \u201eMental Demolition\u201c the fivepiece from the west coast presented two tracks from their latest output \u201eTotal Retaliation\u201c. Of course the classics \u201eOne With The Underdogs\u201c, \u201eSpit My Rage\u201c, \u201eAlways The Hard Way\u201c and \u201eKeep Your Mouth Shut\u201c caused the loudest as wildest reactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tentstage: Saturday Night Fever<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kadavar<\/strong> After the Death Metal inferno on the neighbored Mainstage the chilled Stoner Rock was the right sound change to direct the evening to a relaxed end. \u201eCome Back Life\u201c, \u201eDoomsday Machine\u201c, etc. earned much applause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orange Goblin<\/strong> The fourpiece from London continued this doomy Stoner Rock atmosphere with \u201eSons Of Salem\u201c from their recent \u201eThe Wolf Bites Back\u201c release. Besides the also new \u201eRenegade\u201c the quartet played a best of set containing \u201eThey Come Back (Harvest Of Skulls)\u201c as \u201eRed Tide Rising\u201c and covered Mot\u00f6rhead by \u201eNo Class\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mad Max Mainstage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walking Dead On Broadway<\/strong> The Deathcore locals from the close city of Leipzig returned to Full Force to invite the first spectators for action. Most of them preferred a bath in the sea while it was extremely hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ignite<\/strong> Pretty early billing position for the quintet from Orange County. But even heat couldn’t stop them starting fulminantly with \u201eVeteran\u201c, \u201ePoverty For All\u201c, \u201eLet It Burn\u201c and \u201eFear Is Our Tradition\u201c. Besides intelligent political statements this tight band knew how to rock. Another highlight became the acoustic performance of \u201eSlowdown\u201c. Aftter \u201eLive For Better Days\u201c and \u201eBleeding\u201c the five Californians left completely satisfied fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whitechapel<\/strong> The US-Deathcore-sixpack opened by \u201eBrimstone\u201c, \u201eWeakness Is Forgiveness\u201c and \u201eBlack Bear\u201c from their brandnew release \u201eThe Valley\u201c. The circle-pits didn’t get less intense during more familiar smashers as \u201eThe Void\u201c, \u201eMark Of The Blade\u201c and \u201eI, Dementia\u201c. The also new \u201eWhen A Demon Defiles A Witch\u201c marked the end of an active, sweaty show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beartooth<\/strong> From the opener \u201eBad Listener\u201c it became clear this fivepiece from Columbus around bandleader Caleb Shomo would rock the festival area. Besides this new hymns of the current album \u201eDisease\u201c as \u201eYou Never Know\u201c and its title song invited to dance, jump and singalong as \u201eAggressive\u201c, \u201eHated\u201c and the final \u201eIn Between\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lamb Of God<\/strong> Pure energy was up to rule over the whole festival area. Lead by the charismatic fronter Randy Blythe \u201eRuin\u201c, \u201eWalk With Me In Hell\u201c, \u201eNow You’ve Got Something To Die For\u201c the quintet performed an intense show causing headbanging as remarkable moshpits. After 45 minutes of pure action \u201eLaid To Rest\u201c and \u201eRedneck\u201c marked the end of a show, after which fans as musicians needed some wellness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flogging Molly<\/strong> After all the hard tones it was time for pure party by Irish Folk. The eight musicians took care of a good mood successfully by the opener \u201e(No More) Paddy’s Lament\u201c, \u201eDrunken Lullabies\u201c, \u201eDevil’s Dancefloor\u201c as the final \u201eThe Seven Deadly Sins\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Limp Bizkit<\/strong> The biggest name on the billing isn’t necessarily the best. The former megasellers started with \u201eMy Generation\u201c and \u201eLivin’ It Up\u201c, the crowd supported them jumping and singing along. But Fred Durst, Wes Borland & Co wasted time by long breaks with too much talk, inviting fans on stage and so on. \u201eRollin’\u201c raised the mood and \u201eNookie\u201c seemed to continue this, but at its second chorus they broke up for another long break. \u201eMy Way\u201c, their The-Who-cover \u201eBehind Blue Eyes\u201c, \u201eBreak Stuff\u201c and \u201eTake A Look Around\u201c could have marked the end of a grooving show, but it turned out to a boring presence of some older formerly rock stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medusa Seastage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gutalax<\/strong> Sometimes Porn Grind is a good opportunity to wake up, especially on the third festival day. The Czech lunatics, all wearing protective suits from head to the feet, honored the toilet brush by \u201eFart Fart Away\u201c, \u201eTotal Rectal\u201c, \u201eRobocock\u201c and several other nice gruntalongs. The first moshpit of the festival was safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ocean<\/strong> This was the right band for this stage: The Ocean on the Seastage at the beach by the lake in the early evening. Not just by the name, their Progressive Post Metal created the ideal sound atmosphere to the scenery. Identically to their recent album \u201ePhanerozoic I: Palaeozoic\u201c the quintet began with \u201eThe Cambrian Explosion\u201c, \u201eCambrian II: Eternal Recurrence\u201c and \u201eOrdovicium: The Galaciation Of Gondwana\u201c. Each song got much applause from the audience. \u201eBenthic: The Origin Of Our Wishes\u201c finished a wonderful show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tesseract<\/strong> The next outstanding band was up to astonish the beachside. The British Djent institution openend by the first three parts of its \u201eConcealing Fate\u201c – trilogy (\u201eAcceptance\u201c, \u201eDeception\u201c, \u201eThe Impossible\u201c) from the debut \u201eOne\u201c. Their ambitious as groovy Prog-sound, the high-skilled musicians as the variable voice of singer Daniel Tompkins convinced completely as the setlist considering songs from all four masterpieces of the band by \u201eOf Mind – Nocturne\u201c, \u201eSurvival\u201c as the set finishing new video-singles from \u201eSonder\u201c, \u201eKing\u201c and \u201eJuno\u201c. Phenomenal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mantar<\/strong> Whatever the scene hype about this duo from Hamburg is, they couldn’t reproduce this on stage. In comparison to the bands before vibe as groove was clearly inferior. A couple of fans supported \u201eSpit\u201c as the final \u201eEra Borealis\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amorphis<\/strong> It was getting dark in the late evening, and another ideal billing position was this latest beach-slot. From the newer \u201eQueen Of Time\u201c – opener \u201eThe Bee\u201c over \u201eSampo\u201c, \u201eSilver Bride\u201c, \u201eHouse Of Sleep\u201c and of course the hit from the especially at this location unavoidable \u201eTales From The Thousand Lakes\u201c classic (\u201eBlack Winter Day\u201c). Numerous fans applauded, headbanged and sang along, so this turned out to another unforgettable show on the Seastage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hardbowl Tentstage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turnstile<\/strong> The Hardcore fourpiece with Rock approach from Baltimore entered the stage after their Aretha Franklin – intro and rocked the packed tent from \u201eGenerator\u201c to \u201eGravity\u201c. Especially fronter Brendan Yates showed his agility running up and down the stage and caught the sympathies of the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tentstage: Last Supper<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pertubator<\/strong> The \u201eLast Supper\u201c is back: The festival returned to the classic friday-to-sunday-stage-schedule. And so it was time to dance to the electronic sounds of the French mastermind James Kent, many visitors did so transferring the festival area into a \u201eFuture Club\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mambo Kurt<\/strong> The final show with party effect couldn’t be better filled than by the Full Force – evergreen Mambo Kurt. For another time he interpreted Metal-, Rock- as Pop-classics with his hammond organ like Rage Against The Machine’s \u201eKilling In The Name\u201c as Rammstein’s \u201eEngel\u201c, and the spectators took their last chance of this festival-edition to party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you may have noticed we especially enjoyed the Seastage because of its scenery and atmosphere, but also because of its bands fitting to this special location. The organization worked well, especially relating to the watter supply while the a bit too good hot summer weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our special thanks go out to Pia Eilers, Good Live GmbH and the WFF-team!

Full Force<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After 25 years the formerly known With Full Force got transferred to new organizers. Those ones, who also manage Melt Festival and Splash! Festival both taking place in Ferropolis as well, changed a few details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most obvious one is the name: They cut out the \u201eWith\u201c, from now on it’s called \u201eFull Force\u201c. Furthermore they returned to the classic lapse of time between friday and sunday instead of one day before like it had happened for the latest two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most remarkable changes to us were the improved as more innovative billing (in contrast to the latest years) and the new invented Medusa Seastage right at the beach utilizing the natural advantages of the lake. This atmosphere emphasized several special moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides that the unique Ferropolis festival feeling was still present everywhere. The organization ran well, especially the water supply during these hot weekend is mentionable. So the visitors had all to celebrate an attractive program lead by Limp Bizkit, Arch Enemy and Parkway Drive returning after their unforgettable Ferropolis-live-blast one year before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prices are on the level of other big festivals (e.g. 3,50 \u20ac for 0,3 l beer), the variety of food was as always huge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Ferropolis appeared 62 bands on three stages for about 16000 visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mad Max Mainstage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bleeding Through<\/strong> After six years of absence the sixpack from Orange County returned with their album \u201eLove Will Kill All\u201c. So \u201eWelcome back, bitches!\u201c felt like the right salutation to start their comeback show as this year’s Mainstage program. New (\u201eFade Into The Ash\u201c, \u201eBuried\u201c, \u201eSet Me Free\u201c) as classic (\u201eRise\u201c, \u201eRevenge I Seek\u201c, \u201eAnti-Hero\u201c) material worked well while shouter Brandon Schieppati and constantly banging keyboarder Marta Peterson animated the early present crowd to first motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any Given Day<\/strong> With their new release \u201eOverpower\u201c the fivepiece from Gelsenkirchen started strong by \u201eStart Over\u201c and \u201eLoveless\u201c and impressed by a tight performance as the variable voice of fronter Dennis Diehl. By the following \u201eEndurance\u201c and \u201eLevels\u201c they inspired many spectators to jump. This all lead into a respectable wall of death considering the early afternoon as the hot temperatures. \u201eArise\u201c, \u201eNever Surrender\u201c and \u201eSavior\u201c finished a jubilated show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While She Sleeps<\/strong> Stadium-compatible Metalcore is my definition for the band from Sheffield which is meant completely positive. In front of a huge backdrop vocalist Lawrence Taylor & Co reached the audience celebrating and singing along with \u201eAnti-Social\u201c, \u201eThe Guilty Party\u201c and \u201eHaunt Me\u201c from their new album \u201eSo What\u201c as the classics \u201eYou Are We\u201c, \u201eFour Walls\u201c, \u201eSilence Speaks\u201c and \u201eHurricane\u201c. A (live) band we’ll hear more from the next years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sick Of It All<\/strong> After those newer sounds it was time for the NYC-Hardcore-veterans to \u201eWake The Sleeping Dragon!\u201c. By the title track as \u201eInner Vision\u201c from their latest output and several familiar songs like \u201eUs Vs. Them\u201c, \u201eInjustice System\u201c, \u201eMy Life\u201c as \u201eGood Lookin’ Out\u201c the formation around the Koller-brothers took care about pit-action in the audience. They closed the set by their classics \u201eScratch The Surface\u201c and \u201eStep Down\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behemoth<\/strong> You think Black\/Death Metal doesn’t work at Full Force? Definitely wrong, the quartet from Gdansk performed an impressing show. Whether new compositions from \u201eI Love You From Your Darkest\u201c like the opener \u201eWolves Of Siberia\u201c, \u201eBartzabel\u201c and \u201eSabbath Mater\u201c or classics as \u201eOra Pro Nobis Lucifer\u201c, \u201eOv Fire And The Void\u201c, \u201eGod = Dog\u201c, \u201eBlow Your Trumpets Gabriel\u201c and \u201eChant For Eschaton 2000\u201c, supported by lots of pyros and several other special effects the quartet left no doubt about their billing position. Mainman Adam Nergal’s very autobiographic shout (He survived cancer!) \u201eIt’s so good be alive!\u201c also fit to this live experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parkway Drive<\/strong> One year ago the five musicians from Byron Bay performed a bombastic show including lots of special effects and drummer Gaz playing in a vertically circulating drumkit. This year they decided for an extraordinary introduction by walking through the audience to the stage flanked by securities with torches. After this the complete madness began with \u201eWishing Wells\u201c, \u201ePrey\u201c, \u201eVice Grip\u201c and \u201eKarma\u201c. The filled festival area freaked out and sang along with \u201eThe Void as \u201eIdols And Anchors\u201c before the band got support by violinists during \u201eWritings On The Wall\u201c as \u201eShadow Boxing\u201c and finished its regular set by \u201eWild Eyes\u201c, which got sung along together with thousands of fans’ voices. They returned with amazing fire works and the encores \u201eCrushed\u201c as \u201eBottom Feeder\u201c finishing another outstanding show in flames, smoke and pleasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medusa Seastage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wolfheart<\/strong> The opening act of this phenomenal stage at the beach was the quartet from Finland. Although a Melodic Death Metal formation doesn’t sound very beach-like, their origin from the land of the thousand lakes may have helped. The audience celebrated \u201eThe Hunt\u201c and \u201eGhost Of Karelia\u201c as the newer \u201eBreakwater\u201c, so mainman Tuomas Saukkonen praised the first appearance with spectators in paddling motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Municipal Waste<\/strong> After the canceled slot of Black Peaks it was up to the fivepiece from Richmond to push up the beach mood again. Fronter Tony Foresta animated the naked swimmers to a nude pit, but they preferred to stay in the lake. Their fans celebrated \u201eThe Art Of Partying\u201c anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amenra<\/strong> The Belgian Sludge quartet performed their atmospheric sound with fat riffs and the yelled shouts of vocalist Colin H. Van Eeckhout who appeared with his back to the audience. By the beginning sundown the sound of \u201eBoden\u201c, \u201eRazoreater\u201c, \u201eA Solitary Reign\u201c as \u201eDiaken\u201c evolved its total atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cannibal Corpse<\/strong> Ready for the final Grindcore moshpit-fest of the first day? The fivepiece from Florida left no doubt they wanted action, and the well-populated beach didn’t hesitate to move on the beach while the newer \u201eRed Before Black\u201c as to classics like \u201eMake Them Suffer\u201c and \u201eStripped, Raped And Strangled\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hardbowl Tentstage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Landmvrks<\/strong> The fivepiece from Marseille enthused by their melodic variable Metalcore in the tent. Their sympathic active performance convinced in the early afternoon, so the spectators supported \u201eFantasy\u201c, \u201eBlistering\u201c, \u201eWinter\u201c and \u201eScars\u201c by moshpit action as singing along the catchy choruses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Amity Affliction<\/strong> The fourpiece assembled numerous fans in the tent right before their fellow Australians were supposed to headline on the neighbored Main Stage. Their supporters celebrated the opener \u201eDrag The Lake\u201c, \u201eIvy (Doomsday)\u201c, \u201eD.I.E.\u201c and \u201eFeels Like I’m Dying\u201c from their current album \u201eMisery\u201c as classics like \u201eThis Could Be Heartbreak\u201c, \u201eShine On\u201c and the final \u201ePittsburgh\u201c. Their riffs and shouts as the bittersweet chorus melodies left no other option than to participate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tentstage: Kn\u00fcppelnacht<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Batushka<\/strong> The Black Metal formation from Poland celebrated a black mass with three monks and lots of candles on stage. This strange show left a bunch of questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carach Angren<\/strong> The Dutch Black Metal trio took care about it didn’t become less ridiculous. The whole appearance including \u201eGeneral Nightmare\u201c, \u201eBlood Queen\u201c and \u201ePitch Black Box\u201c as its performance looked like a satire of itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultha<\/strong> These 45 minutes were the final noise deep in the first night of this year’s Full Force – edition. The Black Metal fourpiece from Cologne gave its best, but just a few visitors were left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mad Max Mainstage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Annisokay<\/strong> The definite band to open the Mainstage program of the day: The regional Melodic Metalcore heroes joked their backdrop had been too huge to suit the big stage and entertained by their catchy songs like \u201eComa Blue\u201c, \u201eGood Stories\u201c and \u201eUnaware\u201c from their recent album \u201eArms\u201c as older tracks like \u201eWhat’s Wrong\u201c or \u201eSky\u201c, the first rows seemed to be familiar with the lyrics anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crowbar<\/strong> Time was up for the return of the Sludge Doom formation from New Orleans. While opening with the classic \u201eAll I Had (I Gave)\u201c the festival area was pretty empty probably due to the hot temperatured. But Kirk Windstein & Coe achieved to repopulate the place a bit, and those ones shouldn’t regret experiencing \u201eThe Cemetary Angels\u201c, \u201eTo Carry The Load\u201c and \u201eLike Broken Glass\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bury Tomorrow<\/strong> The fivepiece from Southampton started furious with \u201eNo Less Violent\u201c and let follow several new pit-motivators from their new masterpiece \u201eBlack Flame\u201c as \u201eMore Than Mortal\u201c, \u201eKnife Of Gold\u201c, \u201eThe Age\u201c and the title track as finisher. Their fans celebrated them as formerly released hymns like \u201eEarthbound\u201c and \u201eLast Light\u201c. The supporters took care about permanent moshpit-action and singalongs during the clean vocal choruses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At The Gates<\/strong> When the Gothenburg Melodic Death Metal inventors opened with the title track of their current album \u201eTo Drink From The Night Itself\u201c and let follow \u201eSlaughter Of The Soul\u201c as \u201eAt War With Reality\u201c. By time more fans populated the festival area, but whether the new \u201eA Stare Bound In Stone\u201c and \u201eThe Colors Of The Beast\u201c or the classics \u201eSuicide Nation\u201c, \u201eBlinded By Fear\u201c as \u201eThe Night Eternal\u201c should have deserved more headbangers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knorkator<\/strong> The Comedy Metal formation from Berlin assembled numerous of fans in front of the stage and entertained by a funny as tight played best of set consisting of \u201eKurz Und Klein\u201c, \u201eB\u00f6se\u201c, \u201eAlter Mann\u201c as the covers from Ace Of Base (\u201eAll That She Wants\u201c) and Boney M. (\u201eMa Baker\u201c). The show was sympathic as well, all those gimmicks as vocalist Stumpen running in a huge ball over the audience were more than well-entertaining. With \u201eZ\u00e4hneputzen, Pullern Und Ab Ins Bett\u201c and \u201eWir Werden Alle Sterben\u201c they bid farewell from an enthused crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arch Enemy<\/strong> After the Metalcore heroes of Parkway Drive the night before and the Crossover icon Limp Bizkit the following one I didn’t know how the Metal headliner on saturday would convince the visitors. Of course they couldn’t reach the moshpit action as the Australians the night before, but the festival area was populated. So supported by several pyro effects \u201eRavenous\u201c, \u201eWar Eternal\u201c, \u201eMy Apocalypse\u201c, \u201eYou Will Know My Name\u201c, \u201eUnder Black Flags We March\u201c and \u201eAs The Pages Burn\u201c fronter Alissa White-Gluz and the technically-skilled instrumental fraction caused loud reactions as headbanging support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medusa Seastage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harakiri For The Sky<\/strong> The Austrian sixpack wasn’t probably used to perform their Black Metal in the hot sun on the beach. Anyway, \u201eCalling The Rain\u201c, \u201eLungs Filled With Water\u201c and \u201eJhater\u201c found its applause by sunbathers and lakeswimmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Infected Rain<\/strong> The Moldovan breakthrough band was the right act to rock the beach. Their Metalcore with a couple of Djent-riffs and the variable voice of Lena Scissorheads worked very well, especially the technicians had solved the microphone problems in the beginning of the set. So \u201eMold\u201c and \u201eOrphan Soul\u201c found as much support as \u201ePasserby\u201c and \u201eThe Earth Mantra\u201c from their forthcoming album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Animals As Leaders<\/strong> The technically high skilled trio from Washington, D.C. didn’t assemble that many fans in front of the stage than the Moldovans before, but they left many mouths open by their instrumental monsters. The astonishing performance of \u201eWave Of Babies\u201c, \u201eTempting Time\u201c, \u201eThe Brain Dance\u201c as their video-single CAFO left no doubt about this appearance was a special showcase to most of the present visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alcest<\/strong> The French formation around mainman Neige drowned the beach as the lake into the riffs of their atmospheric compositions in the evening. Numerous spectators enjoyed \u201eAutre Temps\u201c, \u201eKodama\u201c, Perc\u00e9es De Lumi\u00e8re\u201c and \u201eL\u00e0 O\u00f9 Naissent Les Couleurs Nouvelles\u201c which could easily be scilled by much applause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zeal & Ardor<\/strong> Another outstanding act should complete saturday’s Seastage action: The Avangarde Black Metal project around Manuel Gagneux surprised and fascinated with their mixture between straight Black Metal riffs as shouts and Gospel vocals. Supported by two co-singers \u201eBlood In The River\u201c, \u201eBuilt On Ashes\u201c and the hymn \u201eDevil Is Fine developped its potential with an inspiring effect on the astonished crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tentstage: Impericon Hardbowl<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jinjer<\/strong> The Ukrainian fourpiece is on a triumphant march through any festival confirming them. Suited in a golden outfit vocalist Tatiana Shmaylyuk and her comrades gave everything and got everything from a curious crowd. \u201eWords Of Wisdom\u201c, \u201eI Speak Astronomy\u201c, the wonderful semi-ballad \u201ePisces\u201c and the set finishing \u201eSit Stay Roll Over\u201c caused a couple of moshpits and much jubilation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terror<\/strong> Isn’t the Hardcore legend from Los Angeles to huge for the Tentstage? Maybe, but so their performance became a special highlight in a packed tent including lots of energy on as in front of the stage. From the beginning by \u201eLowest Of The Low\u201c, \u201eStick Tight\u201c and \u201eOvercome\u201c band as crowd were one and the circle-pits didn’t let wait too long. By \u201eThis World Never Wanted Me\u201c and \u201eMental Demolition\u201c the fivepiece from the west coast presented two tracks from their latest output \u201eTotal Retaliation\u201c. Of course the classics \u201eOne With The Underdogs\u201c, \u201eSpit My Rage\u201c, \u201eAlways The Hard Way\u201c and \u201eKeep Your Mouth Shut\u201c caused the loudest as wildest reactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tentstage: Saturday Night Fever<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kadavar<\/strong> After the Death Metal inferno on the neighbored Mainstage the chilled Stoner Rock was the right sound change to direct the evening to a relaxed end. \u201eCome Back Life\u201c, \u201eDoomsday Machine\u201c, etc. earned much applause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orange Goblin<\/strong> The fourpiece from London continued this doomy Stoner Rock atmosphere with \u201eSons Of Salem\u201c from their recent \u201eThe Wolf Bites Back\u201c release. Besides the also new \u201eRenegade\u201c the quartet played a best of set containing \u201eThey Come Back (Harvest Of Skulls)\u201c as \u201eRed Tide Rising\u201c and covered Mot\u00f6rhead by \u201eNo Class\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mad Max Mainstage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walking Dead On Broadway<\/strong> The Deathcore locals from the close city of Leipzig returned to Full Force to invite the first spectators for action. Most of them preferred a bath in the sea while it was extremely hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ignite<\/strong> Pretty early billing position for the quintet from Orange County. But even heat couldn’t stop them starting fulminantly with \u201eVeteran\u201c, \u201ePoverty For All\u201c, \u201eLet It Burn\u201c and \u201eFear Is Our Tradition\u201c. Besides intelligent political statements this tight band knew how to rock. Another highlight became the acoustic performance of \u201eSlowdown\u201c. Aftter \u201eLive For Better Days\u201c and \u201eBleeding\u201c the five Californians left completely satisfied fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whitechapel<\/strong> The US-Deathcore-sixpack opened by \u201eBrimstone\u201c, \u201eWeakness Is Forgiveness\u201c and \u201eBlack Bear\u201c from their brandnew release \u201eThe Valley\u201c. The circle-pits didn’t get less intense during more familiar smashers as \u201eThe Void\u201c, \u201eMark Of The Blade\u201c and \u201eI, Dementia\u201c. The also new \u201eWhen A Demon Defiles A Witch\u201c marked the end of an active, sweaty show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beartooth<\/strong> From the opener \u201eBad Listener\u201c it became clear this fivepiece from Columbus around bandleader Caleb Shomo would rock the festival area. Besides this new hymns of the current album \u201eDisease\u201c as \u201eYou Never Know\u201c and its title song invited to dance, jump and singalong as \u201eAggressive\u201c, \u201eHated\u201c and the final \u201eIn Between\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lamb Of God<\/strong> Pure energy was up to rule over the whole festival area. Lead by the charismatic fronter Randy Blythe \u201eRuin\u201c, \u201eWalk With Me In Hell\u201c, \u201eNow You’ve Got Something To Die For\u201c the quintet performed an intense show causing headbanging as remarkable moshpits. After 45 minutes of pure action \u201eLaid To Rest\u201c and \u201eRedneck\u201c marked the end of a show, after which fans as musicians needed some wellness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flogging Molly<\/strong> After all the hard tones it was time for pure party by Irish Folk. The eight musicians took care of a good mood successfully by the opener \u201e(No More) Paddy’s Lament\u201c, \u201eDrunken Lullabies\u201c, \u201eDevil’s Dancefloor\u201c as the final \u201eThe Seven Deadly Sins\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Limp Bizkit<\/strong> The biggest name on the billing isn’t necessarily the best. The former megasellers started with \u201eMy Generation\u201c and \u201eLivin’ It Up\u201c, the crowd supported them jumping and singing along. But Fred Durst, Wes Borland & Co wasted time by long breaks with too much talk, inviting fans on stage and so on. \u201eRollin’\u201c raised the mood and \u201eNookie\u201c seemed to continue this, but at its second chorus they broke up for another long break. \u201eMy Way\u201c, their The-Who-cover \u201eBehind Blue Eyes\u201c, \u201eBreak Stuff\u201c and \u201eTake A Look Around\u201c could have marked the end of a grooving show, but it turned out to a boring presence of some older formerly rock stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medusa Seastage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gutalax<\/strong> Sometimes Porn Grind is a good opportunity to wake up, especially on the third festival day. The Czech lunatics, all wearing protective suits from head to the feet, honored the toilet brush by \u201eFart Fart Away\u201c, \u201eTotal Rectal\u201c, \u201eRobocock\u201c and several other nice gruntalongs. The first moshpit of the festival was safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ocean<\/strong> This was the right band for this stage: The Ocean on the Seastage at the beach by the lake in the early evening. Not just by the name, their Progressive Post Metal created the ideal sound atmosphere to the scenery. Identically to their recent album \u201ePhanerozoic I: Palaeozoic\u201c the quintet began with \u201eThe Cambrian Explosion\u201c, \u201eCambrian II: Eternal Recurrence\u201c and \u201eOrdovicium: The Galaciation Of Gondwana\u201c. Each song got much applause from the audience. \u201eBenthic: The Origin Of Our Wishes\u201c finished a wonderful show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tesseract<\/strong> The next outstanding band was up to astonish the beachside. The British Djent institution openend by the first three parts of its \u201eConcealing Fate\u201c – trilogy (\u201eAcceptance\u201c, \u201eDeception\u201c, \u201eThe Impossible\u201c) from the debut \u201eOne\u201c. Their ambitious as groovy Prog-sound, the high-skilled musicians as the variable voice of singer Daniel Tompkins convinced completely as the setlist considering songs from all four masterpieces of the band by \u201eOf Mind – Nocturne\u201c, \u201eSurvival\u201c as the set finishing new video-singles from \u201eSonder\u201c, \u201eKing\u201c and \u201eJuno\u201c. Phenomenal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mantar<\/strong> Whatever the scene hype about this duo from Hamburg is, they couldn’t reproduce this on stage. In comparison to the bands before vibe as groove was clearly inferior. A couple of fans supported \u201eSpit\u201c as the final \u201eEra Borealis\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amorphis<\/strong> It was getting dark in the late evening, and another ideal billing position was this latest beach-slot. From the newer \u201eQueen Of Time\u201c – opener \u201eThe Bee\u201c over \u201eSampo\u201c, \u201eSilver Bride\u201c, \u201eHouse Of Sleep\u201c and of course the hit from the especially at this location unavoidable \u201eTales From The Thousand Lakes\u201c classic (\u201eBlack Winter Day\u201c). Numerous fans applauded, headbanged and sang along, so this turned out to another unforgettable show on the Seastage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hardbowl Tentstage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turnstile<\/strong> The Hardcore fourpiece with Rock approach from Baltimore entered the stage after their Aretha Franklin – intro and rocked the packed tent from \u201eGenerator\u201c to \u201eGravity\u201c. Especially fronter Brendan Yates showed his agility running up and down the stage and caught the sympathies of the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tentstage: Last Supper<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pertubator<\/strong> The \u201eLast Supper\u201c is back: The festival returned to the classic friday-to-sunday-stage-schedule. And so it was time to dance to the electronic sounds of the French mastermind James Kent, many visitors did so transferring the festival area into a \u201eFuture Club\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mambo Kurt<\/strong> The final show with party effect couldn’t be better filled than by the Full Force – evergreen Mambo Kurt. For another time he interpreted Metal-, Rock- as Pop-classics with his hammond organ like Rage Against The Machine’s \u201eKilling In The Name\u201c as Rammstein’s \u201eEngel\u201c, and the spectators took their last chance of this festival-edition to party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you may have noticed we especially enjoyed the Seastage because of its scenery and atmosphere, but also because of its bands fitting to this special location. The organization worked well, especially relating to the watter supply while the a bit too good hot summer weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
