WITH FULL FORCE 2010<\/strong>
\nLast summer didn’t feel like a real one, but just one weekend: It was the WFF-weekend which guaranteed three hot days for another time.<\/p>\n

Besides the sunny weather the With Full Force presented a great billing regarding by Metal, Hardcore and Punk the most important subgenres of hard music. Names like the WFF-fan-faves Slayer, Venom, Killswitch Engage, Sick Of It All, NOFX or Heaven Shall Burn speak for itself as for the billing. Even the loss of the canceled Throwdown got a respectable replacement by Stuck Mojo. Just the short-term cancelation of Saturday Night Fever act Skindred because of problems with the vehicle on their way to Roitzschjora was impossible to replace that fast.<\/p>\n

Another constant of the well-organized With Full Force are the remarkable fair prices, especially for food and beverages.<\/p>\n

And last, but not least, the fans had the opportunity to watch the games of the FIFA World Championship on a big screen behind the Hardbowl tent which included another event: As in 2006 Germany played a remindable quarter final beating Argentina which we’ll surely never forget.<\/p>\n

On the airfield of Roitzschjora appeared 63 bands on two stages in three days for about 25.000 visitors.<\/p>\n

Friday<\/strong>
\nMain Stage<\/strong>
\nThe Faceless<\/strong> The 17th<\/sup> edition of With Full Force got opened by a band definitely not playing easy-listening-music. Suported by a great sound the very technichal Prog Death \u2013 quintet from LA astonished a pretty filled up festivalsite by compositions from their current masterpiece \u201cPlanetary Duality\u201d like \u201cThe Ancient Covenant\u201d or \u201cPlanetary Duality II: A Prophecies Fruition\u201d as by the classic \u201cAn Autopsy\u201d from their debut \u201cAkeldama\u201d. This was the best festival opener I have seen in years.<\/p>\n

Bloodwork<\/strong> The Melodic Death Metal \u2013 hopefuls from Paderborn rocked the stage as the left spectatorship. With the catchy \u201cInsufficient\u201d or \u201cA Cycle Once Broken\u201d from their debut \u201cThe Final End Principle\u201d and very entertaining announcements of fronter David Hambach the fivepiece increased the audience’s support reacting by jumping as pit action. Furthermore the band presented by \u201cDestination Nowhere\u201d and \u201cThe Eternity Syndrome\u201d material from their forthcoming album \u201cUltima Ratio\u201d.<\/p>\n

Job For A Cowboy<\/strong> Classic Death Metal combined with lots of breaks generally is an interesting mixture. So the fivepiece from Phoenix kicked ass by the \u201cRuination\u201d – classics \u201cUnfurling A Darkened Gospel\u201d, \u201cTo Detonate And Exterminate\u201d and Regurgitated Disinformation\u201d as by the classic \u201cKnee Deep\u201d, but somehow it felt too uninspired. Technically there was no doubt about the band, but I missed the vibe.<\/p>\n

Crowbar<\/strong> After rocking Roitzchjora with the southern all-star-band Kirk Windstein returned with his ordinary Sludge legend. The slow, but intense sound fitted to the sunny hot weather. After many spectators had left the festivalsite before probably preferring to watch the Dutch beating Brasil in the first FIFA WC quarter final. But those who had stayed got the pleasure to watch one of the most intense shows of the weekend celebrating monsters like \u201cSelf-Inflicted\u201d, \u201cConquering\u201d, \u201cAll I Had (I Gave)\u201d, \u201cI Am Forever\u201d, \u201cHigh Rate Of Extinction\u201d or \u201cPlanets Collide\u201d.<\/p>\n

Stuck Mojo<\/strong> For those who had waited for Throwdown like me got disappointed by the cancelation of their slot, but this feeling turned out to euphoria about the fact Stuck Mojo replaced them. And they did very well! Although the band had done a lot of line-up changes its performance convinced completely. Especially mainman Rich Ward rocked the stage running and jumping it up and down. Just the fronter Lord Nelson didn’t move that much probably depending to his huge figure. But he interpreted the newer \u201cOpen Season\u201d as well as the Crossover hymns \u201cTwisted\u201d, \u201cRising\u201d, \u201cThrow The Switch\u201d and \u201cNot Promised Tomorrow\u201d. Just sad the most visitors didn’t notice this great gig.<\/p>\n

Fear Factory<\/strong> Starting with \u201cMechanize\u201d, \u201cShock\u201d and \u201cEdge Crusher\u201d the Industrial Metal icon impressed by a wall of sound. Besides its title track they considered by \u201cPowershifter\u201d and \u201cSmear Campaign\u201d further new songs from their new album \u201cMasterpiece\u201d before inspiring the crowd to circlepits by their \u201cDigimortal\u201d as the evergreens \u201cDemanufacture\u201d and \u201cReplica\u201d. The only embarrassing aspect about this appearance was the voice of Burton C. Bell: While his shouts were okay he missed nearly all of his clean vocals. There’s a lot to improve about the vocal performance, musically it rocked!<\/p>\n

Caliban <\/strong>The fivepiece from Essen ruled Roitzschjora for the sixth or the seventh time. Opening by \u201cLove Song\u201d and \u201cMy Time Has Come\u201d the fans celebrated their faves which got\u00a0 impressing pyro-effect-support. But the band took care about their supporters personally. Shouter Andy D\u00f6rner who got birthday climbed down, went into the crowd to initialize a huge wall of death to the following \u201cNo One Is Safe\u201d. The band showed its live experience on stage as by \u201c24 Years\u201d, \u201cIt’s Our Burden To Bleed\u201d and \u201cI Will Never Let You Down\u201d their hit appeal.<\/p>\n

Sick Of It All<\/strong> Another steady guest of the WFF are the guys from the NYC Hardcore legend. So there was motion on stage guaranteed. And so did the thousands of supporters in front of the stage celebrating \u201cGood Lookin’ Out\u201d, the new \u201cBased On A True Story\u201d – tracks \u201cDeath Or Jail\u201d, \u201cWaiting For The Day\u201d as \u201cDominated\u201d and evergreens like \u201cBuilt To Last\u201d, \u201cInjustice System\u201d, \u201cAll My Life\u201d, \u201cScratch The Surface\u201d and \u201cStep Up\u201d. For the last one the band got co-assisted by their Wisdom Of Chains buddy Mad Joe who punched Arkangel fronter Baldur Vilmundarsson because he wanted to take part in unallowed. So the fans saw much more action on stage than those ones on who watched the second quarter final between Uruguay and Ghana on the screen.<\/p>\n

Killswitch Engage<\/strong> The fivepiece from Boston started with an instrumental of\u00a0 Yellow and their best song \u201cRose Of Sharyn\u201d into their set and made clear by the following \u201cReckoning\u201d from their current self-titled album they definitely deserve the headliner slot. Supported by 25.000 enthusiastic fans, a cool light show the variable shouter Howard Jones and his comrades they prevailed by \u201cFixation On The Darkness\u201d, \u201cBreathe Life\u201d, \u201cThe Arms Of Sorrow\u201d, \u201cThis Is Absolution\u201d, \u201cA Bid Farewell\u201d, \u201cMy Last Serenade\u201d as \u201cThe End Of Heartache\u201d, which lyrics got sung by the whole audience, songs from their whole band discography except for the unimportant debut. Without too many pyro effects the band also knew how to fascinate by stage action as cool comments as weirdo sixstringer Adam Dutkiewicz dedicating a song to the visitors’ girl friends’ breasts as praising and drinking several cans of German beer. So the encore cover of Dio’s \u201cHoly Diver\u201d found a great end of an amazing live show while Uruguay defeated Ghana at the FIFA WC quarter final by penalty shootout!<\/p>\n

Tent Stage: Hardbowl<\/strong>
\nThe Exploited<\/strong> Instead of appearing in the afternoon on the Main Stage like they had done before at WFF the British Punk icon headlined friday’s Hardbowl. And they did pretty well playing \u201cWas It Me\u201d, \u201cAlternative\u201d as of course the classics \u201cBeat The Bastards\u201d, \u201cSex And Violence\u201d and \u201cPunks’s Not Dead\u201d. And although new guitarist Matt Justice left a good impression and fronter Wattie Buchan took care of a motional show the tent just got filled to its half. I guess it’s time for a new studio release after seven years.<\/p>\n

Tent Stage: Kn\u00fcppelnacht<\/strong>
\nNile<\/strong> Dark complex Death Metal with an exotic touch is the sound the US-Deathers around Carl Sanders offer. After a bombastic intro the quartet started with the opener of the current album \u201cThose Whom The Gods Detest\u201d (\u201cKafir!\u201d) in an incredible set which should have satisfied the experimental assessed as the old school Death Metal fans.<\/p>\n

Unleashed<\/strong> The Swedes of Unleashed also entered the stage to a bombastic intro, but in contrast to their predecessor they concentrated on their traditional sound. Besides considering by \u201cWir Kapitulieren Niemals\u201d as its title track their new output \u201cAs Yggdrasil Trembles\u201d the fourpiece got celebrated for the classics \u201cThis Is Our World Now\u201d, \u201cBlood Of Lies\u201d, \u201cHammer Battalion\u201d, \u201cShadows In The Deep\u201d, \u201cInto Glory Ride\u201d which got dedicated to the departed Type O Negative – mainman Pete Steele and the final \u201cDeath Metal Victory\u201d. A cool show except for its bad sound in the beginning as for Mikael Hedlund’s ridiculous announcements.<\/p>\n

Dark Nocturn Slaughtercult<\/strong> The German Black Metal combo performed their show uncompromisingly as clich\u00e9d. A very simple hard sound, the wild yelling Onielar, corpse paint and some blood games. But just the first few rows seemed enjoying it. I definitely didn’t!<\/p>\n

Marduk<\/strong> Another Black Metal band, but this one with a longer history. The Swedes began by \u201cPanzer Divison Marduk\u201d as a statement what was up to follow. By \u201dThe Black Tormentor Of Satan\u201d, \u201cThrone Of Rats\u201d, \u201cInto Utter Madness\u201d, \u201cWith Satan And Victorious Weapons\u201d the Swedes entertained showing more song structure as quality as their predecessor had done. Just fronter Mortuus disturbed me for another time.<\/p>\n

Lay Down Rotten<\/strong> The Death Metal fivepiece including a sixstringer substitute from the German town of Siegen initiated a cool Death Metal storm on stage. So the formation convinced by \u201cAltering The Whore\u201d or the Carcass cover \u201cHeartwork\u201d several tired metalheads to stay for 40 minutes longer before laying down in their tents.<\/p>\n

Keep Of Kalessin<\/strong> In the end of the Kn\u00fcppelnacht acted the third Black Metal formation, but the first with some mentionable approach. They opened by the first three tracks of their new release \u201cReptilian\u201d (\u201cDragon Iconography\u201d, \u201cThe Awakening\u201d, \u201cJudgement\u201d) which most of the small crowd didn’t seem to know. This issue became better when playing by \u201cKolossus\u201d and \u201cThe Dragontower\u201d older ones which left us in the very early morning.<\/p>\n

Saturday<\/strong>
\nMain Stage<\/strong>
\nElsterglanz<\/strong> Last year the Comedy Rock weirdos opened sunday. Because of the enthusiastic reactions of the spectatorship the local heroes got invited again. In the beginning of their slot two railroad crossing gates which longed over the whole stage length opened symbolically. What followed was an insane funny show filled with lots of crazy gimmicks and special effects in front of a n eormously high drumkit and the coolest backdrop I have ever seen. An astonishing number of spectators filled the festivalsite participating while \u201cDe Mutter Von James Bond\u201d, \u201cHartmann Ist Tot\u201d and the hymn \u201cKaputtschlahn\u201d.<\/p>\n

Born From Pain<\/strong> The Dutch Hardcore commando thrilled the festivalsite for another time, with smashers like \u201cBehind Enemy Lines\u201d, \u201cRise Or Die\u201d, \u201cSons Of A Dying World\u201d after which shouter Rob Franssen sent greets to his friends of Heaven Shall Burn, continuing with \u201cState Of Mind\u201d, \u201cThe New Hate\u201d, \u201cFinal Collapse\u201d and the hymn \u201cStop At Nothing\u201d no surprise. The fivepiece which acted with a new bassist showed a good performance and the fans got satisfied.<\/p>\n

Grand Magus<\/strong> The Doomsters from Sweden had the bad-luck to act while the FIFA WC quarter final of Germany began. So just a small group of fans populated the Main Stage area having more place than while each other band playing there. Nevertheless those ones celebrated \u201cI, The Jury\u201d from the new \u201cHammer Of The North\u201d – album as classics like \u201cIron Will\u201d. Finally Germany ruled the match against Argentina with a historic 4:0, so the party was supposed to be continued even bigger, but before the Main Stage got a break because of the match.<\/p>\n

Exodus<\/strong> A bit too opportune fronter as redneck Rob Dukes entered stage with his bandmates as a German flag and shouted \u201cFuck Argentina\u201d! Anyway, to the fans it meant the start signal to a wild Thrash Metal set including\u201dBonded By Blood\u201d, \u201cBlacklist\u201d and \u201cThe Toxic Waltz\u201d on as circle pits and a wall of death in front of the stage while the temperatures may have reached the highest peak.<\/p>\n

Ektomorf<\/strong> The Hungarians are still one of the most unoriginal as untalented acts in Metal business. Nevertheless mainman Zoli Farkas and his comrades still have their fans enjoying \u201cShow Your Fist\u201d, \u201cWho Can I Trust\u201d, the Soundgarden cover \u201cRusty Cage which got dedicated to Johnny Cash and the final \u201cFuck You All\u201d to whoever this got dedicated to.<\/p>\n

Cannibal Corpse<\/strong> Same procedure as every Corpse time. The Florida fivepiece gave their fans they are used and probably addicted to: Pure Grindcore massacre. Their supporters celebrated neckbreakers like \u201cScattered Remains, Splattered Brains\u201d, \u201cSentenced To Burn\u201d or \u201cHammer Smashed Face\u201d.<\/p>\n

Heaven Shall Burn <\/strong>What then happened was the show of the real headliner of that evening: Supported by a big threepart-LED-screen filled with intelligent projections during the whole appearance, a great light show and several effects the band performed a world class gig animating the crowd to a huge circlepit over nearly the whole area in front of the Main Stage. The local heroes, all five suited in red shirts and black pants, inspired the crowd by smashers from their brandnew album \u201cInvictus\u201d like \u201cThe Omen\u201d, the video single \u201cCombats\u201d and \u201cReturn To Sanity\u201d as classics like \u201cThe Weapon They Fear\u201d, \u201cCounterweight\u201d, \u201cVoice Of The Voiceless\u201d, \u201cAwoken \/ Endzeit\u201d as the final Edge Of Sanity cover \u201cBlack Tears\u201d while Spain won the fourth and last FIFA WC quarter final against Paraguay with 1:0. Awesome!<\/p>\n

Venom<\/strong> The Black Metal legend had bad-luck: Because of the Germany match the organizers put the fans’\u00a0 fave Walls Of Jericho from their original running order posistion on Main Stage to the Hardbowl playing while Venom acted. So I have never seen such an exhausted festivalsite while an appearing headliner. Suppoted by the most special effects a band had this weekend Cronos and this two newer bandmates performed \u201cWelcome To Hell\u201d, \u201cMetal Black\u201d, \u201cCalm Before The Storm\u201d, \u201cWarhead\u201d, \u201cBlack Metal\u201d, Countess Bathory\u201d and \u201cIn League With Satan\u201d, but there weren’t enough people left for perceivable reactions. So this stood in total contrast to all the pyros. The former British legend seemed much too old for the audience.<\/p>\n

Tent Stage: Hardbowl<\/strong>
\nNeaera<\/strong> The Deathcore fivepiece from M\u00fcnster had become a familiar member of the WFF community. So the Hardbowl was pretty filled reminding Germany was supposed to play right after their slot. The crowd enjoyed \u201cWalls Instead Of Bridges\u201d, \u201cLet The Tempest Come\u201d, \u201cArmamentarium\u201d as \u201cI Loathe and organized a respectable circle pit shouter Benny Hilleke took part in.<\/p>\n

Bleeding Through <\/strong>The Metalcore sixpack astonishingly populated the Hardbowl tent right after the Germany match. And the crowd participated enthusiastic to \u201cOrange County Blond And Blue\u201d, \u201cKill To Believe\u201d and their hit \u201cDeclaration\u201d. Mentionable was the stage acting of attractive keyboarder Martha Peterson shouting all vocals and banging like having a bionic neck.<\/p>\n

Tent Stage: Saturday Night Fever<\/strong>
\nThe Bones<\/strong> Saturday Night Fever at With Full Force means party, and after this day with the mentioned Germany experience there was no doubt about the celebrations’ mood of the crowd. So Rock ‘n’ Roll was the right choice to get crazy with \u201cGasoline Business\u201d, \u201cNot A Lovesong\u201d, \u201cScrewed, Blued And Tattooed\u201d and \u201cHome Sweet Hell\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Mahones<\/strong> Instead of Skindred who were supposed to play on that position, but where forced to cancel it due to problems on their way to the WFF the Folk Punk band played an hour earlier and took care about the party feeling.<\/p>\n

Gwar<\/strong> So definitely did the anarchy commando who also acted an hour earlier. The intro of Black Sabath’s \u201cParanoid\u201d spread the party mood for the following massacre. The song title \u201cLet Us Slay\u201d from the current \u201cLust In Space\u201d output was representative for what was about to come. Oderus Urungus, Beefcake The Almighty & Co performed a comedian splatter show with a lot of cool puppets and even more graphic gore which covered the first rows in different colors celebrating crazy tracks like \u201cSaddam A Go-Go\u201d. Amazing performance!<\/p>\n

Sunday<\/strong>
\nMain Stage<\/strong>
\nMambo Kurt & Rockbitches<\/strong> The usual Mambo Kurt madness started this year’s WFF again after he had partied the press tent the night before as he does each year’s saturday night. This year Mambo Kurt introduced two songs and let the audience choose by applause each time. And the spectators continued their support during the played tracks like \u201cIce Ice Baby\u201d, \u201cKilling In The Name Of\u201d, \u201cRhythm Is A Dancer\u201d, \u201cMaria (I Like It Loud)\u201d and the final \u201cRemmidemmi\u201d which he performed by computer after his Rockbitches had destroyed his organ.<\/p>\n

Daath<\/strong> The Deathcore commando from Atlanta caught my attention by some soundtrack intro. The band had surprised me positively years before as support on an Unearth tour, this time I had some expectations because of this live experience. The fivepiece performed a solid gig, no more no less, in which just the fronter’s long beard and the Cannibal Corpse cover \u201cHammer Smashed Face\u201d surprised.<\/p>\n

Postmortem<\/strong> The old school band with one of the two Brutz & Brakel (the cult liquer stand at Party San for years) owners on guitar didn’t convince me as they had done when they had performed at Party San last year, but the opener \u201cGive Us Hate\u201d, \u201cChopped, Shredded And Grind To Meatballs\u201d (from the forthcoming release \u201cSeeds Of Devastation\u201d) and \u201cThe Way Of The Knife\u201d found its small but fine spectatorship.<\/p>\n

Mustasch<\/strong> Swedish Rock ‘n’ Roll was about to invade the stage, and the audience. The quartet around the very sympathic vocalist Ralf Gyllenhammer rocked the sunny afternoon enormously by \u201cBlasphemy Heresy\u201d, \u201cBring Me Everyone\u201d, \u201cMine\u201d and \u201cBlack City\u201d. And after a Swedish Boogie Woogie version Ralf Gyllenhammer who had done several German lessons in school taught the crowd an \u201cAlles gut, alles klar: Ja!\u201d – chant they used it in the middle of the last song and video single \u201cDouble Nature\u201d after which Mr. Gyllenhammer showed his fans his butt. Funny guy, great Rock show!<\/p>\n

Sodom<\/strong> The German Thrash trio around Onkel Tom Angelripper started very traditional by \u201cThe Saw Is The Law\u201d, and besides the newer \u201cCity Of God\u201d, they put their focus on classics like \u201cAgent Orange\u201d, \u201cThe Art Of Killing\u201d and \u201cDer Wachturm\u201d. It was a pretty common Thrash concert which satisfied their fans, but probably didn’t win too many new ones.<\/p>\n

Dark Tranquillity<\/strong> When you discover the Gothenburg sixpack on a billing you can be sure of one fact: You get the full live experience of great songs as massive live action. Their set contained by \u201cThe Fatalist\u201d, \u201cDream Oblivion\u201d and \u201cThe Grandest Accusation\u201d from the new \u201cWe Are The Void\u201d – masterpiece as by classics like \u201cWonders At Your Feet\u201d, \u201cFinal Resistance\u201d, \u201cMisery’s Crown\u201d, \u201cLost To Apathy\u201d and \u201cTerminus\u201d lots of Melodic Death Metal hits. Fronter Mikael Stanne was agile and his band tight as usual. Incredible performance!<\/p>\n

As I Lay Dying<\/strong> The Deathcore ensemble from San Diego rocked the festivalsite like they had done two years ago. Fronter Tim Lambesis & Co considered their new masterpiece \u201cThe Powerless Rise\u201d by \u201cBeyond Our Suffering\u201d, \u201cParallels\u201d, \u201cVacancy\u201d and \u201cWithout Conclusion\u201d which got nearly as much support as familiar hymns like \u201cAn Ocean Between Us\u201d, \u201cThrough Struggle\u201d, \u201cWithin Destruction\u201d, \u201cConfined\u201d including a respecatble wall of death, \u201c94 Hours\u201d, \u201cThe Sound Of Truth\u201d, \u201cForever\u201d, and the set finshing \u201cNothing Left\u201d by several moshpits. The sound ruled, the band seemed very motivated and the fans enjoyed! Strong appearance!<\/p>\n

NOFX<\/strong> Long time, no see. This statement is done right relating to NOFX. It’s a very long time I had heard about the Californians before discovering them on the WFF billing. But the co-headliner position was the right one for the relaxed sound as announcements of fronter Fat Mike. And of course the most party happenpened while their two 90ies hits \u201cKill All The White Men\u201d and \u201cDon’t Call Me White\u201d.<\/p>\n

Slayer<\/strong> The steady guests and surely biggest faves of the WFF visitors headlined Roitzschjora again. But it’s too long ago Slayer had played an exciting show. Especially frontman Tom Arraya lost his voice within the first three tracks and didn’t move at all probably becaus of his physical problems he had been to hospital with. So the opener \u201cWorld Painted Blood\u201d, \u201cWar Ensemble\u201d, \u201cDead Skin Mask\u201d, \u201cMandatory Suicide\u201d, \u201cChemical Warfare\u201d, \u201cAgressive Perfector\u201d, \u201cHell Awaits\u201d, \u201cAngel Of Death\u201d, \u201cRaining Blood\u201d and the final \u201cSouth Of Heaven\u201d couldn’t match any goal. Of course many Slayer maniacs didn’t care, recognize or both, but anyway: This gig disappointed absolutely!<\/p>\n

Tent Stage: Hardbowl<\/strong>
\nEvergreen Terrace<\/strong> The fivepiece from Jacksonville got much audience in the tent when they began with the \u201cAlmost Home\u201d opener \u201cEnemy Sex\u201d. The fans seemed to had been waiting for a Metalcore band with such a strong melody effect. So they celebrated \u201cHopelessly Hopeless\u201d, \u201cWolfbiker\u201d, \u201cBad Energy Troll\u201d the cover \u201cMad World\u201d and of course the hit about their sixstringer \u201cChaney Can’t Quite Riff Like Helmet’s Page Hamilton\u201d which left a sweaty crowd.<\/p>\n

Tent Stage: The Last Supper<\/strong>
\nLetzte Instanz<\/strong> The Folk Rock combo from the close city of Dresden who switched their positions with The Devil’s Blood didn’t have a magnetizing effect. Just a small bunch of people came to the tent to watch tracks in German language like \u201cMein Engel\u201d plus several fire effects. Nothing special!<\/p>\n

The Devil’s Blood<\/strong> I could write how unique and wonderful this gig was: But that would end up in a total fairytale. I don’t know what astonishing sound a few fans found in the music of the Dutch. It is a boring 70ies Rock music copy with an even more boring bloody Black Metal show. So the first few rows celebrated \u201cCome, Reap\u201d, \u201cThe Heavens Cry Out For The Devil’s Blood\u201d or the set closing \u201cChrist Or Cocaine\u201d, meanwhile the majority got clearly bored.<\/p>\n

Amorphis<\/strong> After such an irrelevant beginning there were two interesting bands left. And the Finish sixpiece attracted much more supporters to come into the tent. The crowd partied to new \u201cSkyforger\u201d material like \u201cSilver Bride\u201d, \u201cFrom The Heaven Of My Heart\u201d and \u201cSky Is Mine\u201d as to the well-known northern hymns like \u201cThe Smoke\u201d, \u201cHouse Of Sleep\u201d, the classic \u201cSign Of The North Side\u201d and the fantastic final \u201cBlack Winter Day\u201d. Fronter Tomi Joutsen did another great job, the band played tight and the fans had fun.<\/p>\n

Paradise Lost<\/strong> The British founders of Gothic Metal had the honor as exercise to finish the 2010 edition of With Full Force and to feed their fans with melodic as melancholic dark hits.
