Wacken 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations Wacken to the 30th edition starting from 1990. What a history!
To this jubileum different attractions awaited the audience. In the first place we have to name Slayer’s last Germany show of their career. The \u201eA Night To Remember\u201c on thursday got headlined by Sabaton on two stages. The exclusive Germany-appearance of Demons & Wizards or the wednesday-headliner-show of The Sisters Of Mercy were another of several highlights getting celebrated by the fans.
The weather became a good companion most of the time over the weekend with two exceptions by severe weather warnings followed by interruptions. The organization of this giga-event ran brilliant, especially due to the weather circumstances. So there was no reason for not to party.
At this year\u2019s Wacken Open Air 96 bands appeared on the five regular stages (besides several shows on the History Stage, Beer Garden Stage, Wackinger Stage, Wasteland Stage, Metal Church, etc. = definitely more than 100 bands) in four days for about 75000 visitors (Sold out!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wednesday<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

W:E:T Stage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sisters Of Mercy<\/strong> With mentionable delay the Industrial-legend opened by their hymn \u201eMore\u201c, which was a powerful start. During the show the views of the filled Bullhead city audience focussed on singer Andrew Eldritch. Of course he’s the mainman, but besides that the massive smoke on stage covered all his musicians on stage. The formation played a well-balanced set considering their three albums and finished by their mega-hits \u201eThis Corrosion\u201c and \u201eTemple Of Love\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Headbangers Stage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rose Tattoo<\/strong> The Hard Rock instiution from Sidney enthused several older fans in the first rows while most of the spectators were waiting for the following The Sisters Of Mercy on the neighbored stage. Anyway, fronter Angry Anderson and his comrades knew to entertain their fans ending with their hit \u201eNice Boys\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faster Stage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skyline <\/strong>\u201eThe same procedure as every year\u201c: The former band of Wacken-organizer Thomas Jensen, who played bass while AC\/DC’s \u201eShot Down In Flames\u201c, started the party. This time the opener was an own song, which fit by it’s name \u201e30 Years Ago\u201c more than well, and so it will even better next year. Over their set the band got other prominent support. Together with Doro they performed \u201eAll For Metal\u201c and \u201eAll We Are\u201c. Gus G. played guitar for the Ozzy Osbourne cover \u201eCrazy Train\u201c. Most of the set ex-Metalium-vocalist Henning Basse sang the cover versions as the final own hymn \u201eThis Is W:O:A\u201c.
Krokus <\/strong>The Hard Rock icon from Switzerland opened strong by their classics \u201eHeadhunter\u201c and \u201eLong Stick Goes Boom\u201c. Besides that Mark Storace, Chris von Rohr & Co entertained by the cover versions \u201eAmerican Woman\u201c (Guess Who) as \u201eRocking In The Free World\u201c (Neil Young). The drum solo in the end could have been avoided in favor of another song.
Airbourne To the tones from the soundtrack of the \u201eTerminator 2\u201c-movie the quartet around the O’Keefe brothers entered the stage to open by \u201eReady To Rock\u201c, \u201eToo Much, Too Young, Too Fast\u201c and introduced by \u201eBoneshaker\u201c a new track from the forthcoming record. This time without any climbing stunt of the fronter the Australians entertained well and bid farewell by the encores \u201eLive It Up\u201c, \u201eRaise The Flag\u201c and \u201eRunnin’ Wild\u201c.
Sabaton Please read the review below \u2192 Harder Stage<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harder Stage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond The Black<\/strong> The Symphonic Metal formation can be ranked as a steady WOA-guest. They’ve grown a lot over the time including their popularity as the huge audience showed. Much applause as jubilation got sent to singer Jennifer Haben and her bandmates. Those ones got support by violinist Tina Guo for \u201eHeaven In Hell\u201c, the Mot\u00f6rhead-cover \u201eLove Me Forever\u201c and finally for \u201eHallelujah\u201c.
Hammerfall <\/strong>The appearance of the WOA-familiar Melodic Metal quintet from Gothenburg began a bit strange by the video premiere of the title track of the forthcoming release \u201eDominion\u201c. After this they started live with \u201eLegion\u201c, \u201eHammer High\u201c, \u201eRenegade\u201c, \u201eRiders Of The Storm\u201c and \u201eBlood Bound\u201c which was pure food for the headbangers as crowdsurfers. By \u201eOne Against The World\u201c and \u201e(We Make) Sweden Rock\u201c Joacim Cans, Oscar Dronjak & Co presented further brandnew \u201eDominion\u201c tracks live. The end of course was set by \u201eHearts On Fire\u201c.
Sabaton <\/strong>Behind sandbags and barbedwire the special show of the Swedish fivepiece began by \u201eGhost Division\u201c and \u201eWinged Husars\u201c. Supported by a choir in different soldier uniforms they performed classics as \u201eThe Red Baron\u201c a new track from \u201eThe Great War\u201c. After the tenth title \u201eCarolus Rex\u201c bassist P\u00e4r Sundstr\u00f6m moved to the neighbored stage to perform together with the ex-members Thobbe Englund, Daniel Mullb\u00e4ck and Daniel Myhr a classic set while the currend line-up continued. All together they performed \u201eThe Last Stand\u201c, \u201eThe Lost Battalion\u201c, \u201ePanzerkampf\u201c, \u201eThe Art Of War\u201c, the title track of their new release and \u201eAttero Dominatus\u201c. The encores \u201ePrimo Victoria\u201c as \u201eSwedish Pagans\u201c and \u201eTo Hell And Back\u201c in assistance of violinist Tina Guo marked the end of a jubilated show. In my opinion this couldn’t reach the magic of the unique two-stage-show of Savatage & Trans-Siberian Orchestra in Wacken four years ago, but the fans were happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Louder Stage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Versengold <\/strong>The third biggest WOA-stage got opened by the Folk Rock – sevenpiece from Bremen. By the opener \u201eDurch Den Sturm\u201c, \u201eTeufelstanz\u201c, \u201eBraune Pfeifen\u201c, \u201eDe Rode Gerd\u201c and \u201eButter Bei Die Fische\u201c nearly half of the set considered their new output \u201eNordlicht\u201c. By \u201eIch Und Ein Fass Voller Wein\u201c they left a happily dancing crowd.
Testament <\/strong>With \u201eBrotherhood Of The Snake\u201c the Bay Area Thrashers started into a set for hearcirculation-hungry headbangers. Lead by fronter Chuck Billy the Thrash Metal icon left by \u201cD.N.R. (Do Not Resuscitate)\u201c, \u201eLow\u201c, \u201eInto The Pit\u201c, \u201ePractise What You Preach\u201c, \u201eElectric Crown\u201c as the debut-classic \u201eOver The Wall\u201c every metalhead in front of the stage more than satisfied.
The Bosshoss<\/strong> The Country Rock combo around the duo Boss Burns and Hoss Power had the excercise to entertain, which worked okay. It seemed like most of the audience just took a watch as an ear before returning to the both bigger stages in the neighborhood for the big Sabaton-show. Their hit \u201eDon’t Gimme That\u201c got the loudest reactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Faster Stage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equilibrium <\/strong>The Pagan Metal sixpack opened the day on the main stages, but most of the present visitors didn’t seem to care although they introduced by \u201eRenegades – A Lost Generation\u201c a track from their soon released record.
Eluveitie <\/strong>New line-up, many new songs: The Suisse ninepiece considered by the opening title track, \u201eDeathwalker\u201c as the final \u201eBreathe\u201c and \u201eRebirth\u201c new material from their recent output \u201eAtegnatos\u201c. The well-balanced sound between heavyness and melodic Folk characterized by the voices of Chrigel and Fabienne convinced the applauding audience, but needed to finish earlier because of the festival interruption due to the severe weather warning.
Black Stone Cherry<\/strong> After the festival interruption the running order got rescheduled. So the Southern Rock quartet had a shorter stage time as other bands of the day. And the festival area just got repopulated during the appearance. But while \u201eCheaper To Drink Alone\u201c and \u201eFamily Tree\u201c it looked like before, and so sounded the applause.
Anthrax <\/strong>The Thrash Metal icon from New York continued the euphoria on the festival area after Body Count starting with the classics \u201eCaught In A Mosh\u201c, \u201eGot The Time\u201c, \u201eMadhouse\u201c and \u201eI Am The Law\u201c. Fronter Joey Belladonna ran the stage up and down, the band acted tight and agile as well. The fans got in motion by headbanging and moshpit action celebrating the show till the classic end by \u201eAntisocial\u201c and \u201eIndians\u201c with many singalongs from the crowd.
Demons & Wizards<\/strong> The Power Metal collaboration between the Blind Guardian singer and the Iced Earth guitarist was a very exclusive one in Germany after they had played at WOA 2000 for the last time. So no wonder this nearly unique show filled the festival area. The fans celebrated the songs from their two albums and escpecially the together played ones from their regular bands as \u201eBurning Times\u201c and \u201eI Died For You\u201c (Iced Earth) as \u201eWelcome To Dying\u201c and \u201eValhalla\u201c (Blind Guardian), which got sung by thousands for minutes.
Opeth <\/strong>Opeth shows always happen between brilliant performed compositions and funny entertaining statements by mainman Mikael Akerfeldt who advised in the beginning: \u201eHello, we’re Opeth and we came all the way from Hannover.\u201c Pointing out it’s better to play right after Slayer than Poison he had the audience on his side. Besides that the music convinced, especially the classics \u201eGhost Of Perdition\u201c, \u201eHeir Apparent\u201c, the acoustic \u201eIn My Time Of Need\u201c, \u201eThe Drapery Falls\u201c and the final \u201eDeliverance\u201c. The numerous fans celebrated their heroes by headbanging and singing along. Phenomenal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harder Stage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Queensryche <\/strong>The Progressive Metal icon from Seattle presented after opening by \u201eBlood Of The Levant\u201c from their new album \u201eThe Verdict\u201c a phenomenal best of program consisting of \u201eI Am I\u201c, \u201eNM 156\u201c, \u201eWalk In The Shadows\u201c, \u201eQueen Of The Reich\u201c, \u201eOperation: Mindcrime\u201c, \u201eScreaming In Digital\u201c, \u201e\u201cTake Hold Of The Flame\u201c, \u201eJet City Woman\u201c, \u201eEmpire\u201c and \u201eEyes Of A Stranger\u201c. The band performed tight and singer Todd La Torre was brilliant as well. Outstanding, no questions left!
Cradle Of Filth<\/strong> Postponed due to the weather.
Body Count Feat. Ice-T<\/strong> Opening by the Mot\u00f6rhead cover \u201eAce Of Spades\u201c the Crossover kings from LA South Central set the first statement. And so Ice-T continued that pointing out on the US president as racial conflicts before performing \u201eManslaughter\u201c, \u201eNo Lives Matter\u201c as \u201eThere Goes The Neighborhood\u201c. Besides the important political as social issues he showed himself as entertainer as well letting up a child from the first row onto the stage. After that he offered to be called Uncle Ice by the child. After \u201eTalk Shit, Get Shot\u201c and \u201eCop Killer\u201c the band returned on stage to perform the Suicidal Tendencies cover \u201eInstitutionalized\u201c and \u201eThis Is Why We Ride\u201c.
Within Temptation<\/strong> The Dutch Symphonic Metal formation played a bombastic show lead by the wonderful voice of Sharon Den Adel. By the opener \u201eRaise Your Banner\u201c, \u201eThe Reckoning\u201c and \u201eSupernova\u201c they considered material from their new album \u201eResist\u201c. Highlight of the appearance was the acoustically performed \u201eIce Queen\u201c with thousands of supporters singing along. The encores \u201eWhat Have You Done\u201c, \u201eMad World\u201c and the wonderful \u201eMother Earth\u201c marked the end of a celebrated show.
Slayer <\/strong>Time was up for the last show in Germany of the Thrash Metal legend. They played a 90 minutes best of show from \u201eRepentless\u201c over \u201eWorld Painted Blood\u201c, \u201eWar Ensemble\u201c, \u201eMandatory Suicide\u201c, \u201eSeasons In The Abyss\u201c, \u201eHell Awaits\u201c, \u201eSouth Of Heaven\u201c and the band-hymn \u201eRaining Blood\u201c to the end marked by \u201eDead Skin Mask\u201c and \u201eAngel Of Death\u201c. The masses shouted along, headbanged, crowdsurfed and took part in the massive mosh-pits. In the end Tom Arraya, Kerry King & Co said goodbye and left a satisfied as sad supportership.
H\u00e4matom <\/strong>The corpsepainted Bavarians presented a sound somewhere between Punk and a worse Rammstein-clone. After the main bands just a few fans left to watch their surprise guests Trailerpark performing together their song \u201eBleib In Der Schule\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Louder Stage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jinjer <\/strong>With \u201eWords Of Wisdom\u201c the Ukrainian experimental groove machine opened their set as friday’s stage program. Lead by the skilled musicians and the variable voice of the charismatic Tatiana Shmaylyuk the quartet enthused by \u201eI Speak Astronomy\u201c, \u201eDreadful Moments\u201c, \u201ePisces\u201c as the final \u201ePerennial\u201c.
Gloryhammer <\/strong>Fantasy Metal from the UK was up next. The fivepiece played by \u201eThe Siege Of Dunkeld (In Hoots We Trust)\u201c, the self-named \u201eGloryhammer\u201c, \u201eThe Land Of Unicorns\u201c and \u201eHootsforce\u201c a couple of tracks from their new output \u201eLegends From Beyond The Galactic Terrorvortex\u201c. Although it wasn’t meant too serious this wasn’t my cup of tea. So it was astonishing how many fans were celebrating them until they need to finish earlier because of the weather-related festival interruption.
Life Of Agony<\/strong> Finally the fourpiece appeared in Wacken. After the interruption they were the right band to refresh the crowd. Especially their classics as the opener \u201eUnderground\u201c, \u201eThrough And Through\u201c, Other Side Of The River\u201c as the relaxed \u201eWeeds\u201c enthused the audience. This one freaked out to the great final consisting of \u201eMethod Of Groove\u201c, \u201eThis Time\u201c and \u201eRiver Runs Red\u201c.
Santiano <\/strong>For the second time the Sailor Folk group participated in Wacken. To everyone’s surprise they covered together with special guest Alligaotah his song \u201eWie Zuhause\u201c. To me their appearance became boring, but numerous fans seemed to enjoy and clapped their hands. They finished by the encores \u201eSantiano\u201c and \u201eEs Gibt Nur Wasser\u201c
Meshuggah <\/strong>A few years ago the Swedish Tech Death gods finished the WOA with an amazing night set assisted by a phenomenal light show. This one became more impressing when it got darker during the late evening show. Besides that of course their music ruled, complex monsters as \u201eRational Gaze\u201c, \u201eFuture Breed Machine\u201c, \u201eStengah\u201c as \u201eViolent Sleep Of Reason\u201c motivated numerous metalheads to headbang. The high-skilled musicians finished by \u201eBleed\u201c and \u201eDemiurge\u201c. Awesome!
D-A-D<\/strong> This time the late shift was up to the Danish Hard Rock evergreens. \u201eSleeping My Day Away\u201c, \u201eMonster Philosophy\u201c, \u201eBad Craziness\u201c as \u201eIt’s After Dark\u201c invited to the last party of this night in front on the so-called stage. A mentionable number of spectators took part in having fun together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Faster Stage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die Kassierer<\/strong> To place the Party Punk combo in the first position of the day on the main stages was a clever decision by the WOA-organization. The four madmen assembled a huge audience in front of the stage who just wanted to laugh and party. The humor level wasn’t too high. But fronter W\u00f6lfi Wendland had a different point of view advising they represent a high iq by drinking lots of alcohol. By \u201eStinkm\u00f6senpolka\u201c and \u201ePartyl\u00f6we\u201c they finished a huge party in the noon.
Battle Beast<\/strong> The WOA Metal Battle winner of 2010 from Helsinki have evolved from the newcomer competition in the Bullhead City Circus tent to the hugest stages in Wacken over the years. Not too bad! Eyecatcher of the show was singer Noora Louhimo wearing a deer head. The sixpiece considered its new release by the opener \u201eUnbroken\u201c, \u201eEndless Summer\u201c, \u201eThe Hero\u201c, \u201eEden\u201c and the title track of their recent release \u201eNo More Hollywood Endings\u201c without ignoring fans’ faves like \u201eOut Of Control\u201c and \u201eKing For A Day\u201c. A bit too pathetic for me, but they enthused their fans anyway.
Prophets Of Rage<\/strong> This Crossover-collaboration between musicians of Rage Against The Machine, Public Enemy and Cypress Hill was another colorful contrast in this year’s WOA-billing. Besides a couple of tracks from their debut two years ago they enthused by classics of their main (ex)bands like the self-named opener \u201eProphets Of Rage\u201c (Public Enemy), \u201eHow I Could Just Kill A Man\u201c (Cypress Hill) as \u201eGuerilla Radio\u201c, \u201eTake The Power Back\u201c, \u201eSleep Now In The Fire\u201c, \u201eBullet In The Head\u201c, \u201eBulls On Parade\u201c and \u201eKilling In The Name\u201c (RATM), to which the crowd freaked out jumping into one huge moshpit.
Powerwolf <\/strong>The Power Metal quintet with self-irony got welcomed by thousands of fans. Supported by several pyro and smoke effects they celebrated the metal mass during \u201eArmy In The Night\u201c, \u201eAmen & Attack\u201c as \u201eArmata Strigoi\u201c. Vocalist Attila Dorn really seemed deeply moved, he communicated pretty much in a very sympathic way. After \u201eResurrection By Errection\u201c the five wolves left the stage to return with the jubilated encores \u201eSanctified With Dynamite\u201c, \u201eWerewolves Of Armenia\u201c as \u201eWe Drink Your Blood\u201c and finally blessed the crowd.
Saxon <\/strong>After the modern breakdowns of Parkway Drive it was up to the NWOBHM-legend and WOA-friends Saxon to satisfy the fans of the classic sound. From \u201eMotorcycle Man\u201c over \u201eWheels Of Steel\u201c, \u201eStrong Arm Of The Law\u201c, \u201eThe Eagle Has Landed\u201c, \u201eDogs Of War\u201c to \u201eHeavy Metal Thunder\u201c Biff Byford & Co including their steel eagle over them left nearly no wish open. And those few ones who weren’t, got happy by the encores \u201eCrusader\u201c, \u201e747 (Power Of The Night)\u201c and \u201ePrincess Of The Night\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harder Stage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subway To Sally<\/strong> Usually the sevenpiece finishes every second WOA in alternation with the colleges from In Extremo deep in the night. But of course Folk Metal works while daylight as well. As the years before they considered many songs from the current album (\u201eHey!\u201c) by the opener \u201eMessias\u201c, \u201eIsland\u201c, \u201eK\u00f6nigin Der K\u00e4fer\u201c, \u201eDie Engel Steigen Auf\u201c, \u201eAlles Was Das Herz Will\u201c, \u201eAufgewacht\u201c and \u201eAusgetr\u00e4umt\u201c, but didn’t forget their classics as \u201eKleid Aus Rosen\u201c, \u201eEisblumen\u201c and \u201eVeitstanz\u201c. Their fans danced and sang along.
Of Mice & Men<\/strong> The Metalcore quartet took their chance and started furious by \u201eWarzone\u201c and \u201eDefy\u201c which left no doubt about their heaviness. With \u201eEarth And Sky\u201c they presented a new song with hymn approach characterized by a very cool riff. By \u201eHow To Survive\u201c and \u201eMushroom Cloud\u201c further compositions from their forthcoming album followed. It wasn’t too crowded in front of the stage, but who was there, had fun while \u201eUnbreakable\u201c, \u201eInstincts\u201c and the final \u201eThe Depths\u201c singing along and headbanging as the whole band did.
Bullet For My Valentine<\/strong> The Welsh Metalcore genre leaders appeared for its third time in Wacken and showed a bombastic as tight performance. Lead by Matt Tucker’s variable voice \u201e4 Words (To Choke Upon)\u201c, \u201eAlone\u201c, \u201eScream Aim Fire\u201c and \u201eYou Want A Battle? (Here’s A War)\u201c and \u201eNo Way Out\u201c let the numerous fans party by singing along as in mosh-pits. With the encores \u201eYour Betrayal\u201c, \u201eTears Don’t Fall\u201c and \u201eWaking The Demon\u201c they finished a strong show.
Parkway Drive<\/strong> Three years after their phenomenal night shift this times the five guys from Byron Bay had a headliner role at the biggest metal festival. Flanked by torchbearers the band marched through the crowd to their main stage to start with Wishing Wells played without bassist Jia \u201ePie\u201c O’Connor. Then his mother rolled him on stage in a wheelchair after he had broken his knee on tour. Mrs. O’Connor joined crowdsurfing when the band let follow \u201ePrey\u201c, \u201eCarrion\u201c, \u201eVice Grip\u201c and \u201eKarma\u201c while the masses completely freaked out. Supported by lots of special effects \u201eThe Void\u201c, \u201eIdols And Anchors\u201c and \u201eWild Eyes\u201c became a triumphant experience of musicians as fans. While \u201eWritings On The Wall\u201c and \u201eShadow Boxing\u201c they got assisted by a string quartet. Fronter Winston McCall emphasized his fascination about their biggest show so far a couple of times. By the encores this amazing 105 minutes found its worthy end by the encores \u201eCrushed\u201c and \u201eBottom Feeder\u201c.
Rage <\/strong>To the 20th anniversary of their \u201eXIII\u201c-album the quartet around Peavy Wagner performed it in its entirety together with the Lingua Mortis Orchestra from \u201eFrom The Cradle To The Grave\u201c to \u201eJust Alone\u201c and finished by their classic \u201eHigher Than The Sky\u201c sang by all the left fans. What an ending!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Louder Stage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emil Bulls<\/strong> The noon started more than well with modern sounds. The fivpiece from Munich let the crowd jump and sing along to \u201eThe Jaws Of Oblivion\u201c, \u201eHere Comes The Fire\u201c, \u201eThe Most Evil Spell\u201c, \u201eNothing In This World\u201c, \u201eWhen God Was Sleeping\u201c and \u201eWorlds Apart\u201c. This refreshing appearance kicked ass.
Kvelertak <\/strong>The Norwegian Thrash Black fivepiece caused a lot of motion on as in front of the stage, especially fronter Ivar. \u201eBruane Brenn\u201c, \u201eBlodtorst\u201c as several other tracks let the supporters stomp the dust up from the ground.
Uriah Heep<\/strong> With 50 years (!) the Hard Rock band definitely was the oldest of the whole festival-edition as probably of the complete WOA-history.
