Motherfucker that was loud. My left ear is still slightly ringing.
Anyway, I saw every band that played yesterday. First up was Nereids, some French band. They were pretty good.
Stonegoats was fun. Beyond the Labyrinth was rather boring and not really my taste. Lonewolf surprised me, they were quite good. You can hear an obvious Running Wild influence.
Manigance was, instrumental wise, pretty good, but the vocalist ruined it for me. I don't dig French when it comes to metal.
Power Quest was a disappointment- I left halfway through. Stormwarrior was pretty good.
Then came the better part of the day. Mystic Prophecy was really good, and you could see the crowd coming alive.
Powerwolf was just excellent live, I'm glad I got to see them.
Freak Kitchen was simply awesome. Mattias really bonded with the crowd.
Epica was fantastic. I really can't say much more about it.
And to top the day off, we had Blind Guardian. Standing near the very front, man that was great.
I remember last year I couldn't even see them on stage and had to watch on the screens.
You cannot beat a homeland atmosphere, but for all I could tell, the atmosphere was just great here too.
