Again, another concert: to tear my ears, knees, back and sweat. But most of all enjoy good heavy metal. This has been one of the concerts that have excited me most this year because Primal Fear is one of my favorite bands and finally gave a concert that I could go. It is true that this year I've seen Metallica and Judas, but I had already seen both last year and see a band you like for the first time is very motivating. Well, here's the entry:
had my misgivings with the site, Heineken (formerly Arena venue). In 2005 I was there at the concert and the acoustics Salán Jorge was not very good to say, the much rumbling drums. But fortunately seem to have solved these problems and the sound was pretty good. I again get lucky and I did not go alone, I accompanied my friend Kristina, who was curious to go to a concert 100% heavy for the first time. And finally he told me happy.
placed at the entrance to the doors would open at 7. When I arrived around 6:30 the line was quite small, I was surprised that there were so few people. Upon entering, at 7 o'clock, the first support band were ready to play even though the entry was written that would begin at 7:30. But wait, as they entered the first 30 people or so began to rock. I learned that a group called Jaded Heart because I read in the backdrop, as at the entrance reading "Guest Artist" and the Internet did not see any place you put who were the companions of Primal Fear and Brainstorm.
training consisted of singer, drummer, bassist, guitarist and keyboardist. The group was not bad, they were very motivated and very complicit with the sparse crowd at that time. It is good that there is no moat, you can get so close that they can play. Many times we shook hands. But there are drawbacks to the absence of the den when had a couple of songs were the "fuckers", ie the official photographer heavys media began to emerge from everywhere and annoying to be a good place to take pictures. The one I got hold of me, the highest of all, it was also quite bad. I stood in front and saw that almost all the pictures came out blurry because it was almost never used the flash.
back to the group, in 20 minutes ended his performance and began to dismantle the equipment themselves (oh, these groups humble ...). When they took the hype, I figured that one side was stuck and had crossed the setlist 3 tracks. I did not understand why they came in such a hurry, started a half hour before and took away 3 songs.
started in 10 minutes Brainstorm action since his team was prepared almost entirely behind the Jaded Heart. 1 hour advance on the schedule. I started to smell the ground and I was right, but go with a performance by Brainstorm.
Before the concert I heard some songs from the last album and I thought they were pretty good. And I also liked the performance. Of the old songs say I did not know, but I found all very similar. Instead the new seemed more original and varied. The singer, who certainly looked a lot like Eric Cantona with manes, exceeded the previous complicity because he got us to sing and was moneando a while the track during a song almost entirely, a very original detail. We also been teetering for a while that if Spain would win the world or what they were going to win (they are German) and also that if the people who went to see them in concert in Barcelona cried more than we (the rivalry Madrid Barcelona is known worldwide).
ended between 8:15 and 8:30, and here is the reason for the advancement of times, had to completely disassemble your computer and mount Brainstorm, Primal Fear. In effect fulfilled the schedule, because it took a whole hour and Primal Fear started at 9:30. What heaviness waiting a whole hour, thank goodness I was not alone.
I expected to finish Primal Fear will fill the room but did not, were quite comfortable and roomy, I think not exceed 300 people. It is uncommon to see a group as good brings so few people, but hey, it's proof that heavy metal in the relatively new groups do not eat a walleye good they are, sacred cows are sacred cows.
But hey, go with their actions, that calificaré with one word: HUGE. As Ralf Scheepers, the singer. To handle 44 tacos are more than Sylvester Stallone in his heyday. The truth is that impresses him live, and more to the distance that I had. The others seemed a coxcombs at his side, haha. And for the record I'm not gay.
But focusing on the music, I must say that the concert was more than I liked, the interpretation of the songs I found perfect, I have no one but. Ralf's voice is to fall back, the reincarnation of Haldford if he were dead, but 15 years younger and 20 kilos more than muscle. Henny Wolter and Alexander Beyrodt are two pieces of guitarists, awesome. Mat Sinner is not only a great bass player, also has a piece of voice, choirs and even made the pieces in which he sings alone. Randy Black, as it was hidden behind the battery quite little I can say, but if not caught my attention is because he did not commit any error.
This is what they played:
- Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (Intro)
- Under the Radar
- Battalions of Hate
- Killbound
- Nuclear Fire Six Times Dead (16.6)
- Angel in Black
- Guitar Duel
- Sign of Fear
- Fighting the Darkness
- Riding the Eagle
- Final Embrace Metal Is Forever
- Hands of Time
- Seven Seals
- Chainbreaker
The surprise of the night we gave Alex Beyrodt. In all songs before the duel guitar solos had made Henny Wolter, and when it was thought that the poor match Alex could do little against him. Nothing further, began to play as fast or faster than Henny but in a peculiar way: instead of using the needle scratching the string with the nail (at least that's what I thought he was doing) up and down making a sound rare and precious. It was one of the momentazo.
When finished Metal Is Forever I thought it was over as this was the song that had over the previous concerts, but no, there was another surprise: they played the new Hands of Time, all sitting in chairs removed, in which Matt sang solo parts superbly. After the song Ralf said, pointing to each of the members of the group that was sitting next to him: "Paco, Antonio, boy, hat ... we love Spain!" Taking a standing ovation.
Ralf also used to, like the singer of Brainstorm, stinging our Barcelona that if more people were screaming. And finally parted with Seven Seals and Chainbreaker, in this last we left the public always cry main word refrain.
So I was very happy with Primal Fear. Here I post the videos I recorded (pardon my enthusiasm, there are pieces that I hear more to me than to Ralf, haha): Under the Radar
Nuclear Fire
Six Times Dead (16.6)
Angel in Black
Sign of Fear
Riding the Eagle
Metal Is Forever
