Powerwolf

My first time of seeing these guys and WOW! They didn't disappoint! A truly AWESOME band live both musically and theatrically! The whole set set kicked ass from start to finish! A great night! Thank you!!

Un concierto genial, muy bien organizado! Aunque 4 horazas poca gente aguanta estoicamente (1 hora de teloneros, 1 hora con Rphsody of Fire, y hora y media con Orden Ogan).
Una sala estupenda, sonido genial, y Orden Ogan absolutamente grandiosos.

Great Show of Serenity in the Gebr. Nobel, Leiden, October 28th 2018

They have grown as band. Especially the singing. Great voices with the semi-acoustic session half-way the concert. Which was a nice “break” within the whole symphonic / power Metal songs
I wonder why Serenity is not that popular (yet) like Kamelot. But maybe in the future. Think they deserve a larger audience.
Anyway, I enjoyed it very much.

Also compliments for the supporting bands Temperance, Dragony and Visions of Atlantis. I really enjoyed this evening.

Apocalyptica is one of the most unique and interesting metal bands out there, reason being that the band consists of all cello players, except the drummer who gives the band’s music a much needed punch in sound. All of the band members are also classically trained so you know you are in for a stellar performance when you see these guys live. The band initially started out as a Metallica tribute band playing all of their classic hits with some other cover songs thrown in such as Pantera’s “Domination”. Currently the band performs original songs that they composed, as well as still playing some cover songs. It shouldn’t be too much of a surprise that a band consisting of members who play classical instruments would want to perform in a metal band, as much of metal music has a strong classical influence.
Apocalyptica is able to create a loud, rich sound with their cellos. They run them through distortion pedals, and play rapid rhythms reminiscent of thrash metal. Although most of Apolcalyptica’s sound encompasses the metal genre, they have sometimes veered from that style and have incorporated Middle Eastern and world music into their performance. The band also incorporates theatrics that one would expect to see at a metal show into their performance. The members all have long hair that they shake around stage when head-banging, layers of fog fill the stage, and intense strobe lights flash to the rhythm of the music. The band is increasingly growing a larger fan base with already having sold four million albums. They have also gained the respect of many notable musicians who have collaborated with them in the past including Joe Duplantier from Gojira and Gavin Rossdale from Bush. Apocalyptica is guaranteed to put on an intense performance that is full of energy and that is the perfect representation of a sophisticated metal show.
