Wacken Open Air XXI

Wacken (Germany)

It was already night-time and slowly it was getting really cold when Anvil entered the True Metal Stage.
Overall it was quite nice watching Steve "Lips" Kudlow acting like a clown all over the stage using his guitar not only as a microphone but also elegantly leading a vibrator across his strings. However that did not really knock me of my feet.
So this set finally remains in my opinion the second weakest of the festival that I had been watching.

Setlist:

March Of The Crabs
666
School Love
Winged Assassins
This Is Thirteen
Mothra (with dildo guitar solo)
Thumb Hang
White Rhino (with drum solo)
Forged In Fire
Metal On Metal

After hard note and powerful guitars of Darzamat there was now a really hard cut. You could get the impression that Van Canto had forgotten their instruments because there was nothing on stage except the drums. But that is typical for them, because except...

After the day started already quite promising now the first downer came. Crysalis was playing symphonic metal with gothic influences. The Italians around front woman Ciara Malvestiti tried to extend the good atmosphere but somehow that did not work.
