Rock Hard Festival 2008<\/strong>
\nFive years ago Germany\u2019s leading Rock- & Metal – print – magazine Rock Hard celebrated their 20th anniversary with the Open Air Festival at the Amphitheater Gelsenkirchen. After a successful birthday party happening over three days the Rock Hard \u2013 editors invented this event turning into a constant Open Air Festival placed in the very special as beautiful location of the amphitheatre. After five wonderful editions www.metal-festivals.com had always been happy to experience and to report about the Rock Hard Festival organized in the 25th year of the mag- existence its sixth as most successful edition.<\/p>\n

The RHF-Friday stayed a regular festival day which had been raised to a six-band-day on the Main Stage in 2007. But due to curfew-problems the organizers were forced two delete one billing position on Saturday as on Sunday to still guarantee a billing with shows lasting 45 minutes minimum per band.
\nAfter Celtic Frost had cancelled their RHF \u2013 participation for the second time in a row after 2005 Testament became the Friday-headliner and their co-headliner-position got replaced by Exodus. This Thrashback-effect might have been another reason for the new visitor record.
\nAt the Rock Hard Festival appeared 22 bands (each band 45 minutes minimum) on one stage in three days for about 7000 visitors.<\/p>\n

Friday<\/strong>
\nThe Claymore<\/strong> The festival opening act from the very close town of Castrop-Rauxel had kind of a home game before they probably walked home later on. The sound of the fivepiece lead by the voice of Andreas Grundmann and the twin-guitars sounded pretty much like Iron Maiden. Nevertheless they surprised by the In Flames \u2013 cover \u201cTrigger\u201d. Their Power Metal \u2013 performance convinced their fan club as those few spectators which had already arrived in front of the stage.<\/p>\n

Stormwarrior<\/strong> The formation from Hamburg is well-known for several cooperations with Kai Hansen. This time they performed without him continuing the traditional program which had begun by the act right before. From the opener \u201cHeading Northe\u201d from the so-titled new release over the single \u201cHeavy Metal Fire\u201d to the finisher \u201cIron Prayers\u201d from the self-titled debut True Metal reigned around the amphitheatre. But most of the visitors as myself got pretty bored by the non-variable sound by a group which got mainly well-known by the mentioned cooperations.<\/p>\n

Lake Of Tears<\/strong> The Swedish ex-Black Mark-band doesn\u2019t spend many opportunities for their still numerous German fans to get experienced live. So \u201cReturn Of The Ravens\u201d marked the right opener for the completely black-suited musicians to get acclaimed by its supporters which celebrated the following \u201cCosmic Weed\u201d especially as all the band\u2019s classics like \u201cRavenland\u201d, \u201cSweetwater\u201d, \u201cSo Fell Autumn Rain\u201d and the debut-track \u201cAs Daylight Yields\u201d. Nevertheless the newer songs like \u201cGreymen\u201d or the last played title \u201cCrazyman\u201d rocked, too. And so did new sixstringer Fredrik Jordanius improving the band\u2019s stage performance. In my opinion they also should have considered \u201cHeadstones\u201d, but I don\u2019t want to worry much about it because this appearance was the first festival highlight which earned the first supporters\u2019 chants.<\/p>\n

Y&T<\/strong> The oldest band of the festival rocked the stage in its 34th year of existence like they might have done in the seventies and eighties. After the darker sound right before the Californians convinced by their good-time \u2013 Hard Rock including classic rockers like \u201cMeanstreak\u201d, \u201cRescue Me\u201d, \u201cBlack Tiger\u201d and \u201cSqueeze\u201d which got sung by bassist Phil Kennemore. So the formation around guitar wizard Dave Meniketti satisfied their fans and won many new ones with their sympathic motivated show.<\/p>\n

Die Apokalyptischen Reite<\/strong>r Many supporters awaited their faves which opened with \u201cFriede Sei Mit Dir\u201d and \u201cRiders On The Storm\u201d. Fronter Fuchs animated special games like getting some girl on stage who had to play the guitar for one song or for another time the started rubber-dinghy-race. Those actions took care of the entertainment factor and the atmosphere in front of the stage wass nice, but what for? Again their material didn\u2019t convince me at all. Nevertheless Die Apokalyptischen Reiter finished their regular set with \u201cReitermania\u201d to get celebrated and to let follow the two encores \u201cDie Sonne Scheint\u201d and \u201cMetal Will Never Die\u201d.<\/p>\n

Testament<\/strong> Bay Area Thrash is back! After Thin Lizzy\u2019s \u201cThe Boys Are Back In Town\u201d as intro the Thrash-veterans entered the stage to start with \u201cOver The Wall\u201d into an exclusive old-style-setlist filled with old classics (\u201cSouls Of Black\u201d, \u201cPractise What You Preach\u201d, \u201cInto The Pit\u201d, \u201cC.O.T.L.O.D.\u201d, \u201cAlone In The Dark\u201d, \u201cRaging Waters\u201d, \u201cReign Of Terror\u201d, the encores \u201c3 Days In Darkness\u201d and \u201cDisciples Of The Watch\u201d) and added by one song from the brandnew \u201cThe Damnation Of Salvation\u201d-album (\u201cHenchmen Ride\u201d) as a few newer classics like the hit \u201cLow\u201d and the first of the three encores \u201cD.N.R..\u201d The air-guitar playing cult-fronter Chuck Billy & Co were forced to perform without their guitar-genius Alex Skolnick which leads got played by Eric Peterson for another time pretty confident. The agile performance animated hundreds of fans to bang their heads and got just disturbed by the live-mixer who mixed the sound much too raunchy as loud. Nevertheless a strong appearance by a Thrash-legend which definitely is back!<\/p>\n

Saturday<\/strong>
\nThe Sorrow<\/strong> The Metalcore \u2013 shootingstars had the difficult mission to open the Saturday while hot summer temperatures. No matter to the Austrians who showed their live-experience they had won over the last year by massive touring. A good example for young bands which get the opportunity! The band around the very confident frontman Matze took care of a good atmosphere and animated many especially young fans by \u201cKnights Of Doom\u201d, \u201cSaviour Welcome Home\u201d, \u201cDeath From A Lover\u2019s Hand\u201d, the hit \u201cFar Beyond The Days Of Grace\u201d and \u201cFrom This Life\u201d to moshpits and headbanging action! The day couldn\u2019t have begun better!<\/p>\n

Moonsorrow<\/strong> Well, after The Sorrow followed Moonsorrow. What a billing gag! Although both bands couldn\u2019t sound more different! In contrast to other so-called Pagan-bands the fivepiece had convinced me for several times. And so they did in Gelsenkirchen. Its members\u2019 faces and arms were all covered blood-red. With \u201cTulimyrski\u201d, \u201cKyl\u00e4n P\u00e4\u00e4s\u00e4\u201d and \u201cPakanajuhla\u201d the five Finnish didn\u2019t cause the same rumble as their Austrian namesakes, but they achieved applause from the audience and a few crowdsurfers.<\/p>\n

Helstar<\/strong> After raising his newcomer formation Destiny\u2019s End and fronting the Power Metal-icon Vicious Rumors the Classic Metal \u2013 voice James Rivera and his cult-band were back in the \u201cRemnants Of War\u201d \u2013 line-up. They returned with the classics \u201cThe King Is Dead\u201d and \u201cSuicidal Nightmare\u201d to let follow \u201cTormentor\u201d, besides \u201cCaress Of The Dead one of two new played tracks from the forthcoming \u201cThe King Of Hell\u201d – longplayer. The fivepiece from Texas mainly concentrated on their first four albums which earned huge courtesy by their fans. Those were a few less than while the two newer bands before, but not less fanatic. Rivera\u2019s voice still reigned and the band played tight. So they left with \u201cRun With The Pack\u201d and \u201cBaptized In Blood\u201d.<\/p>\n

Enslaved<\/strong> Another band for a special fanship were the Norwegians. I expected their experimental Progressive Black Metal on a too early billing position played while bright sunny weather would fail, but to my surprise it worked very well. The musicians which started by \u201cPath To Vanir\u201d and \u201cFusion Of Sense And Earth\u201d into an epic set fulfilling high approaches. Their fans took care about complete headbanging in the first few rows and I wondered myself about the highest musical live standards this, not just by me, underestimated band showed. So after the hits \u201cAs Fire Swept Clean The Earth\u201d and \u201cIsa\u201d the band closed its celebrated set with \u201cReturn To Yggdrasil\u201d and \u201cRuun\u201d. And nobody worried about they hadn\u2019t played titles from their early years. Excellent!<\/p>\n

Exciter<\/strong> The Canadiens opened with \u201cI Am The Beast\u201d and the title track of their new release \u201cThrash Speed Burn\u201d. John Ricci & Co didn\u2019t just present a new output, they also introduced their new voice Kenny Winter from New York who totally convinced the band\u2019s supporters with a very agile performance. The whole band acted very motivated, and so they got celebrated for their classics (\u201cRising Of The Dead\u201d, \u201cViolence & Force\u201d, \u201cReign Of Terror\u201d) as for further new songs (\u201cIn Mortal Fear\u201d, \u201cMassacre Mountain\u201d). After \u201cHeavy Metal Maniac\u201d and \u201cLong Live The Loud\u201d they left a satisfied crowd.<\/p>\n

Amorphis<\/strong> The innovative Death Metal-institution was awaited by numerous fans, so they were some kind of a secret headliner. The band from Suomi is definitely back on track. With the new sympathic as charismatic vocalist Tomi Joutsen and two great albums after a longer break Amorphis still can count on a huge fanbase. And those celebrated songs from the new masterpiece \u201cSilent Waters\u201d like its title track or the opener \u201cI Of Crimson Blood\u201d as classics like \u201cBetter Unborn\u201d, the debut-grunter \u201cVulgar Necrolatry\u201d, the ballad \u201cMy Kantele\u201d, \u201cThe Castaway\u201d and the set ending band-hymn \u201cBlack Winter Day\u201d. The comeback-album-hit \u201cHouse Of Sleep\u201d and the middle-era-track \u201cSummer\u2019s End\u201d earned great reactions. Dreadlock-fronter Tomi headbanged and communicated with the fans and this all turned out to a great Metal party. The highlight of the day!<\/p>\n

Exodus<\/strong> After the reunions with their former frontiers Paul Baloff and Steve \u201cZetro\u201d Souza the Bay Area \u2013 Thrash-attack is back, and much stronger than before. With the new singer Rob Dukes and the strong album \u201cThe Atrocity Exhibition Exhibit A\u201d the Californians surprised with its high quality. And they held the level live. So it didn\u2019t become a disadvantage to open with their biggest hit \u201cBonded By Blood\u201d. The quintet turned their main focus on their Thrash-classics (\u201cAnd Then There Were None\u201d, \u201cA Lesson In Violence\u201d, \u201cPiranha\u201d, \u201cWar Is My Shepherd\u201d, \u201cToxic Waltz\u201d) without ignoring their current smasher-CD (\u201cFuneral March\u201d, \u201cChildren Of A Worthless God\u201d). The guitar between Gary Holt and the Rick Hunolt-replacing Lee Altus who is well-known from the Bay Area Thrash-brothers Heathen harmonized very well and drummer Tom Hunting impressed by his power. The stage-acting was pretty aggressive and caused several moshpits. The fans enjoyed it.<\/p>\n

Immortal <\/strong>After one of our two chief editors had left the festivalsite to take the bus to Gelsenkirchen downtown watching the ice hockey world championship match which happened in Canada and so in Germany by night Bergen\u2019s finest introduced the audience with lots of smoke pyros and similar show effects. Fronter Abbath himself introduced the crowd with \u201cHello ladies and motherfuckers!\u201d and the band opened by \u201cSun No Longer Rises\u201d which didn\u2019t really fit to the earlier headliner schedule as the earlier curfew to let follow \u201cWithstand The Fall Of Time\u201d and \u201cSolarfall\u201d. Abbath showed his sense of humour when a few guys held up some drapery panda teddies with his comment: \u201cAh, the pandas of northern darkness!\u201d Supported by the majority of the amphitheatre the trio performed \u201cOne By One\u201d, \u201cDamned In Black\u201d, \u201cWrath From Above\u201d, \u201cDemonium\u201d, \u201cSons Of Northern Darkness\u201d and \u201cTyrants\u201d (with the known break) achieving even la ola \u2013 waves animated by Abbath. After the regular set finishing \u201cUnsilent Storms In The North Abyss\u201d the band left the stage to return with the encores \u201cAt The Heart Of Winter\u201d, \u201cBattles In The North\u201d and Blashyrkh (Mighty Ravendark)\u201d. So the visitors applauded to more Black Metal \u2013 hammers than our chief-editor meanwhile counted Canadien goals against Germany in front of a TV-screen in the inner city, and those were a lot.<\/p>\n

Sunday<\/strong>
\nEnemy Of The Sun<\/strong> Same procedure as yesterday: Wonderful weather reigned over the festivalsite including maybe too hot temperatures for the opening band. Not at all! Because this is one of the two new bands (besides Eyes Of Eden) of Waldemar Sorychta known as musician (Grip Inc., Voodoocult, Despair) and as producer (too many bands to name to) which just gained the monthly evaluation with their debut album \u201cShadows\u201d! This fourpiece convinced totally by its powerful material containing the opener \u201cEmptiness\u201d, \u201cLives Based On Conflicts\u201d, \u201cBurning Bridges\u201d backed up by the rhythm section consisting of bassist Alla Feydnitch (known from Pain, Disillusion, Leaves\u2019 Eyes, Eyes Of Eden) and drummer Daniel Zeman creating a cool groove. But the main attraction was the Finnish vocalist Jules Naveri with an impressing appearance and a sympathic aura. So the band caught the attention of more and more spectators who celebrated the Grip Inc. \u2013 classics \u201cOstracized\u201d and \u201cHostage To Heaven\u201d. So the opening band closed its successful opening slot motivating lots of new fans for innovative varieble heavy sounds with \u201cLost In Time\u201d. More of that!<\/p>\n

Sieges Even<\/strong> Variety is an issue you don\u2019t need to ask for considering the Progressive Rock\/Metal \u2013 band from Munich. Creating innovative sounds since 1983 it\u2019s nice to have them back after a longer break with the new sympathic as talented singer Arno from the Netherland\u2019s. The quartet considered three songs from the new masterpiece \u201cParamount\u201d (the opening tracks \u201cWhen Alpha And Omega Collide\u201d and \u201cTidal\u201d as \u201cDuende\u201d) and two classics (the wonderful \u201cThe Waking Hours\u201d and the high-pitched debut-track \u201cLive Cycle\u201d) before they finished their appearance by the comeback-album-composition \u201cSequence I: The Weight\u201d. Watching an outstanding show nobody minded about the backing vocals had been sampled. Because of some misunderstanding the band finished ten minutes too early. Nevertheless the mentioned sympathic new voice Arno Menses, guitar-genius Markus Steffen and the Holzwarth-brothers-rhythm-machine showed individual musical abilities leading to an overwhelming band-sound in combination with a great performance celebrated by its fans in front of the stage and applauded by the auditorium around!<\/p>\n

Asphyx <\/strong>Netherland\u2019s Death Metal – cult is back! After the reunion on the Party San last year the band entered the next cult festival performing \u201cVermin\u201d, \u201cFood For The Ignorant\u201d, \u201cThe Sickening Dwell\u201d and \u201cWasteland Of Terror\u201d which lead a lot of fans in front of the stage banging their heads. The first few rows were completely in action. The sympathic cult-fronter Martin van Drunen was thrilled by the audience and did most comments in German. He solaced the Celtic Frost – fans for their cancelation and announced the following \u201cOs Abysmi Verl Daath\u201d cover-interpretation of them which worked very well. The Deathers left the satisfied fans with \u201cAsphyx (The Forgotten War)\u201d and the instrumental \u201cThe Rack\u201d not without lots of shakehands from the photo-pit.<\/p>\n

Jorn <\/strong>The Norwegian voice of Hardrock was supposed to come and the expectations were set high built up by his own set quality standards. But what works on a CD like the new \u201cLonely Are The Brave\u201d doesn\u2019t succeed mandatorily on stage. Jorn Lande who is also known from Masterplan, Beyond Twilight, Ark and different other projects as bands is the owner of an outstanding voice, but this day he didn\u2019t have much live personality. So the opener \u201cWe Brought The Angels Down\u201d, \u201cWar Of The World\u201d (besides the title track one of two new album – songs) and the last title \u201cEnd Of Time\u201d had its musical quality, but the vibe was missed.<\/p>\n

Napalm Death<\/strong> The Grindcore \u2013 legend from Birmingham was probably the most brutal band of the billing. And so the fivepiece started a gig without any compromises by \u201cSink Fast, Let Go\u201d and \u201cSilence Is Deafening\u201d. Classics like \u201cUnchallenged Hate\u201d, \u201cSuffer The Children\u201d and \u201cScum\u201d caused wild moshpits, so band as fans were having a good time. Grunter Barney Greenway might have run kilometres on stage and the instrumental section rocked. So the British left an outpowered supportership with the encores \u201cNazi Punks Fuck Off\u201d and \u201cSiege Of Power\u201d.<\/p>\n

Volbeat<\/strong> Two years ago the Danish Elvis-meets-Metal-Rock\u2019n\u2019Roll-phenomenon acted as a secret hint playing the second billing position in the early afternoon. Two years later their appearance took place in the evening in front of a full auditorium. And the fans got in motion from the first tones of \u201cThe Human Instrument\u201d on. \u201cSad Man\u2019s Tongue\u201d, \u201cCaroline Leaving\u201d, the Dusty Springfield \u2013 cover \u201cI Only Wanna Be With You\u201d, \u201cPool Of Booze Booze Booza\u201d or \u201cThe Garden\u2019s Tale\u201d: All these had become hits in their short band-career which caused fans\u2019 choir-singalongs and party celebration. The band enjoyed it obviously. Front-Elvis Michael Poulsen pointed out on the switch between his black and his white instrument calling it the Satan guitar and the Jesus Guitar. After some crowdsurfing he announced: \u201cThanks for grabbing my ass and balls!\u201d Always advising \u201cWe love the sun\u201d Michael took care of a positive atmosphere. Besides known hits the Copenhagen-guys introduced their fans to material of their forthcoming album by \u201cHallelujah Goat\u201d and \u201cStill Counting\u201d including some interesting Reggae-riff. It\u2019s nice to watch an indie-label-band raising within two years between two editions of a cool-festival from hopeful newcomers to the shooting stars of the scene.<\/p>\n

Paradise Lost<\/strong> It was clear the position after Volbeat would become the hardest one of the whole billing, especially for a darker band like Paradise Lost. The fivepiece began with their new video-single \u201cThe Enemy\u201d and \u201cAsh & Debris\u201d from their new album \u201cIn Requiem\u201d to let follow the band-hymn \u201cAs I Die\u201d, the uptempo-smasher \u201cPity The Sadness\u201d and the younger classic \u201cHallowed Land\u201d. Of course classics like \u201cGothic\u201d and \u201c\u00c9mbers Fire\u201d achieved much more support than \u201cIn Requiem\u201d – compositions like its title track or \u201cUnreachable\u201d. The instrumentalists rocked the stage while Nick Holmes showed his cool sense of humour what many spectators interpreted as weariness. So the fan\u2019s reactions were different. The fivepiece finished its in my opinion cool set with \u201cOne Second\u201d and \u201cSay Just Words\u201d.<\/p>\n

Iced Earth<\/strong> After the \u201cKaraoke All-Star Jam\u201d the time had come for the much expected headliner: The reunion between bandleader and mainman Jon Schaffer and the fan\u2019s darling Matt Barlow was supposed to happen at the Rock Hard Festival. And it was the right place for this historic event. Iced Earth and Rock Hard have always been close accompanies to each other from the first demo on till the discussions about the latest singer switches. The opener \u201cDark Saga\u201d followed by \u201cVengeance Is Mine\u201d and \u201cBurning Times\u201d which were played in a row without any comment-interruption showed the band putting their main focus on the Barlow-era. Nevertheless they performed by \u201cDeclaration Day\u201d and \u201cTen Thousand Strong\u201d two songs from the Tim \u201cRipper\u201d Owens \u2013 phase which were interpreted by Barlow in an ideal way. But \u201cViolate\u201d, \u201cPure Evil\u201d, \u201cWatching Over Me\u201d, \u201cDracula\u201d, \u201cThe Coming Curse\u201d and \u201cTravel In Stygian\u201d left no doubt about the big US-Power-Metal-icon is back in track. So the whole audience went wild celebrating this fantastic appearance. The band finished their regular showcase by the wonderful \u201cA Question Of Heaven\u201d to return with the encores \u201cMelancholy (Holy Martyr)\u201d, \u201cMy Own Saviour\u201d and \u201cIced Earth\u201d. What a comeback which got celebrated a long time after the musicians had left the stage happily! It\u2019s great to have Matt back on stage, he cut his hair, but he didn\u2019t lose anything of his unique aura. And his vocalist\u2019s abilities are the same outstanding ones like before he had quit the band. With such an appearance Schaffer \/ Barlow & Co are unbeatable!<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/strong>
\nThe sixth Rock Hard Festival might have turned out to the most successful one! The cancelation of the formerly planned Friday-headliner didn\u2019t turn out to a disadvantage. Putting Testament in the headliner position and replacing their co-headliner-slot by Exodus had probably a positive effect on the number of spectators.
\nAgain the festival organizers were able to hold their high standards offering a very good as clean toilet \/ restroom-situation for free and an uncomplicated security. The Rock Hard \u2013 members were always close to the fans as to their questions. Due to the owner of the Amphitheater the RHF-organization was forced to increase the prices a bit (e.g. from 2,30 \u20ac to 2,50 \u20ac for a 0,33l beer or softdrink) which were still pretty fair.
\nJust one circumstance we wish to get improved: Often the sound was much too loud! In spite of the current Rock Hard \u2013 reports about that problem on many concerts and its possible consequences it\u2019s better taking care about that than just advising on ear-plugs! But this was a special summer-2008-phenomenon, so hopefully all the festivals will take care about that.
\nThe Rock Hard Festival 2008 rocked really hard! It turned out to a big family meeting with its typical relaxed atmosphere! Ask anybody of the guests: We haven\u2019t found anyone worrying about the event! They all want to come back!
\nSpecial Thanks go out to Jenny R\u00f6nnebeck, Manni Glamowski, G\u00f6tz K\u00fchnemund and the RHF-team!!!!!
\nAt the Rock Hard Festival rocked, drank and partied Tobi Wan Kenobi, Lotte, Yvi and Sebi Sebericks!!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
