Blackfield Festival

Amphitheater Gelsenkirchen (Germany)

(Pentax K-5 with Tamron SP AF 17-50mm 2.8 XR Di II LD Asp IF and Sigma AF 50-150mm 2.8 EX DC APO HSM II)

The mood stayed high as the guys from Dresden, led by singer Holly Loose, provided the next reason for dancing and singing in the audience with their rocking songs. They have a slightly unusual lineup as besides the obligatory guitars and bass, they are enhanced by Benni Gerlach on the cello and Rico Schwibs on the violin.
From their latest work "Im Auge Des Sturms" there was only one song, "Traum Im Traum" to hear. Otherwise, they navigated through more mood-appropriate material from the slightly older albums "Schuldig" and "Ewig" from 2009 and 2012. Here, too, it was mainly the strings in collaboration with the singer that continually heated up the audience. They eagerly joined in, with arms flying through the air, loud singing, and hopping. However, a few more people in front of the stage would have been nice. Towards the end, it did fill up a bit. But whether that was due to Letzte Instanz or the following L'âme Immortelle, I do not know. It doesn't matter. With "Von Anfang An" the lively set came to an end much too soon, and the likable guys had to make way for the next band.
I definitely enjoyed it. So much energy and joy should remain unique on this day. The unfortunately somewhat sparse audience honored this with hearty applause. The band is definitely worth listening to!
